OF jokes aside, there’s very few male media members or coaches that even risk their reputation or personal relationships by collaborating with her in the future. Anyone who is married or in a serious relationship likely will not risk the blowback…be it from their spouse or just the trolls that flood their comments implying the worst. Even those that are friends with her or have stable relationships likely know a sit-down or feature with her will be nothing but a net negative and invite the worst kind of drama that has no upside compared to the negativity that will go along with it. This is very likely a career-killer for her. I truly don’t see a recovery arc that involves one on one interviews or sit downs with colleagues/coaches. Everyone involved would be trolled off the earth to the point their personal and professional life would be affected. It sucks for her, to be totally honest, as I think everyone should have a right to work, but…there are ramifications for mistakes. And I think she made the most egregious one she could in her profession (criminal stuff obviously not included when I say this).

I was good with the pick when it happened. Felt even better about it when KC let it slip they were targeting him. Nothings for sure, but clearly front offices were a lot higher on him than casual pundits and fans.

Faceless waited nearly 15 years to hop in here and hurl a random insult at us then immediately dip.

This guy trains a ton of OL. He may have more of a shot at C than we expect.

@reo Borgonzi just flat out said at the PC he saw this kid three years ago when he was still in KC and reminded him immediately of Pacheco

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Pat-Coogan-OL-NotreDame SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Punch timing in pass protection is advanced; stuns rushers before they build momentum. Reads and sorts stunts and twists quickly with natural processing speed. Reliable anchor against bull rushers, rarely gives ground into the pocket. Effective on combo blocks with well-timed feeds and clean releases to linebackers. Year-over-year improvement is notable, with 2025 being his best tape by a clear margin. Versatility at center and guard gives him added roster value at the next level. Keeps a wide, consistent base when mirroring, rarely narrows or crosses his feet. SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES Short arms limit his reach and let longer defenders work into his chest. Feet stall after the initial surge, leaving him stranded against slippery defenders. Recovery quickness is below average once he loses positioning. Forward lean in his pass sets opens the door for counter moves. Effectiveness fades outside the A-gaps; outside zone fits are a concern. Can be steered and shed by nose tackles with length and active hands. ….. “Centers with this kind of processing, technique, and pass protection ability have a way of finding starting jobs regardless of where they get drafted. Coogan has started 41 games across two Power 4 programs, called protections in a national championship game, and improved his grades every single season. He will earn trust quickly in a meeting room because he knows his assignments, communicates clearly, and plays with discipline. In the right gap or power-heavy scheme, there is genuine starting potential here. He is the kind of interior lineman who may not test his way into a roster spot but will absolutely play his way into one.”

ST/FB maybe?

That south-side Chicago was slipping out too talking about emptying the clip

I like Burke also. Surprised a couple of the other tackles went before him.

To me as far as iOL goes how the team views Slater is the wildcard. They could have huge confidence in him, and a lot of this worrying is for nothing.

No doubt, but if they were truly interested in drafting someone for center I’d figure those two would be in consideration.
