Four Down Territory: Old Man Yells at Cloud

First Down The Washington Football team released Dwayne Haskins on Monday. https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1343614238061961219 This stems from Haskins poor play but the main reason he's been cut is due to his immaturity since entering the league. It all started in 2019 with the selfie incident. https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1343619366345043970 And it's been all downhill from there. A couple of weeks ago Haskins was seen in a strip club, breaking the NFL's COVID-19 protocals. He was fined heavily for the incident. https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1341842243984961538 Haskins took the high road and apologized for attending the club. https://twitter.com/Sam4TR/status/1341422322541015041 It should be noted that Haskins is catching more heat for being immature than Dan Snyder (the billion-dollar owner) who has fostered an environment that's rooted in misogyny and sexual harassment but that's a story for another time. This should be the end of this chapter of the Dwayne Haskins story. The next chapter should be about him getting a second chance and redeeming himself. Instead, this chapter is being prolonged by talking heads looking to fill TV segments. https://twitter.com/ESPNBooger/status/1343744362270883841 Whew, there's a lot to unpack with this one. Had Booger framed this from a generational point of view then he might have a leg to stand on. A weak leg but a leg no less. Framing this from the prism of race is wrong and flat out stupid if we're being blunt. Did he feel the same when Johny Manziel flunked out of the league? Did he feel the same when Baker Mayfied was out here being immature? I've never heard him speak on Ryan Leaf's work ethic. For every Jamarcus Russell there's plenty of black NFL players that have excelled. We also need to point out the "brand" statement. The NFL is a brand and that's based solely on the athletes. Their players generate those billions of dollars...so why is it wrong for them to generate money for themselves? The league is a machine and will chew players out the moment they can't produce value. A player should be focused on maximizing their earnings in any legal way possible while they can. This doesn't mean that they can't master their craft because they aren't exclusive, ya know? Dwayne Haskins didn't fail because he was building a brand. He failed because, like many rookies, don't realize what it takes to be a professional NFL player. Russell Wilson is on of the best in the league and oh look, here's a post of him working out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7PN2xlPB8/ Justin Jefferson is one of the best rookie receivers ever. Surely he's not on social media showing off, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CDt0DrSBlzi/ Aaron Donald is the best defensive tackle in the league and it seems that every summer video leaks of him doing some insane workout. https://twitter.com/FootbaIIism/status/1127961448167170049 Dwayne Haskins is immature. That's all there is to this story. No need to dig for something that's not there. Second Down All things considered, the 49ers are doing well this season. They've been ravaged by injuries (every good player is basically out) and are still 6-9. If the draft started today they'd be picking 15th. Kyle Shanahan has proven his genius and Brandon Aiyuk is 250 yards away from a 1,000 rookie campaign. The future can still be bright for San Francisco if a few things can break their way. Currently these are the big names heading into free agency. Trent WilliamsSolomon ThomasRichard ShermanKyle JuszczykJason VerrettNick MullensJordan ReedC.J.Beathard There are a few more names but the point is there's no way the 49ers will be able to retain all of that talent with an estimated $21 million in cap space. One avenue to explore, though, is moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers could trade Jimmy but he has a no-trade clause until 2022. So if a trade is going to happen then Jimmy has to give the okay before it happens. Another route is to flat our release him. If San Fran releases Jimmy they'll save about $24 million in cap space. That more than doubles their current space and leaves more room to resign the team's free agents. It also makes room to trade for the quarterback of right now, not so much the future. OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 03: Matthew Stafford #9 of the Detroit Lions stands on the sidelines during their game against the Oakland Raiders at RingCentral Coliseum on November 03, 2019 in Oakland, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) The Lions have fired their coach and GM. The new regime will probably want to draft their own guy and that leaves the 32-year-old on the roster bubble. The 49ers lost the Super Bowl because Jimmy couldn't make "the" throw to put the game out of reach. Stafford, on the other hand, can make every throw. https://twitter.com/espn/status/1341247422731837441 San Fran will potentially have nine picks in the 2021 draft including three 5th round picks.They have enough ammo to get Stafford and give Detroir more opportunities to get younger. The 49ers look to be contenders next year no matter who is behind center. Stafford makes life a lot easier for Shanahan, though. Third Down Mock Draft SZN! I, like all of you, live for mock drafts so let's do the top ten picks. No trades, just how things stand right now. Rd 1. Pick 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson. A generational talent. There's a reason Jags fans were cheering for the Bears on Sunday. Rd 1. Pick 2. New York Jets: Justin Fields, QB Ohio State The draft gets interesting early. If Joe Douglas cleans house (and he should) the new coach will probably want to move on from Sam Darnold. Zach Wilson is a sneaky pick here as well. If the new regime decides to keep Darnold then there's a good chance the Jets trade back and get a king's ransom to help Darnold shine. Rd 1. Pick 3. Miami Dolphins (via Houston): Ja'Marr Chase, WR LSU Chase opted our this year but he's still the first receiver off the board. The goal for this organization should be to surrond Tua with as much talent as possible. This is step one. Rd 1. Pick 4. Atlanta Falcons: Zach Wilson, QB BYU What an ascension. Matt Ryan is 36 and the new coach is going to want "his" guy. Wilson is QB3 this year and Atlanta starts to plan for life after Ryan. Rd 1. Pick 5. Cincinnati Bengals: Penei Sewell, OT Oregon What a steal. Penei could be easily by gone by now but if not Joe Burrow's blind side is clean for the next decade. Rd 1. Pick 6. Philaelphia Eagles: Patrick Surtain II, CB Alabama The Eagles need help everywhere so this pick depends on the best player available on their board. In a division where the Cowboys boast the best WR corp in the league the Eagles need to find CB2 and a sucessor to Darius Slay ASAP. Rd 1. Pick 7. Detroit Lions: Micah Parsons, LB Penn State The best linebacker prospect in years. Detroit's defense isn't that good so finding an anchor is essential. Rd 1. Pick 8. New York Giants: Gregory Rousseau, DE Miami How did the Giants win Super Bowls the past twenty years? Having a dominant defensive line. Time to get back to basics and build through the trenches. Rd 1. Pick 9. Carolina Panthers: Trey Lance, QB North Dakota State This is a BIG gamble. Trey's lack of experience and level of competition are the big red flags but Matt Rhule won't be able to say no to his measurables. Rd 1. Pick 10. Denver Broncos: Kwity Paye, DE Michigan The Broncos had the same formula as the Giants. Win with an elite defensive line. Von Miller is coming off an Achilles injury and this makes Mahomes squirm a little bit more than usual. Fourth Down PICK TIME Last week ya boy went 10-6 which brings the season total to 148-75-1 Picks are in red.
