I have enjoyed Chucky's channel when I watched. He does know football, and is entertaining. Some weeks he was spot on with some predictions, with impressive precision. Other times way off. Just like here. In the college videos he admitted he hadn't watched enough of it closely this year, and didn't like the way the bracket and byes were done (no one did, all four teams with a bye lost!). So I cut him some slack there.
I don't think that scenario would ever happen. If Prime is hired as an NFL HC, he's going to want his son with him. He's coached him through PeeWee, middle-school, HS & two college programs - so why stop now?
The ultimate helicopter parent to a millennial child.
Jerry has got to find a way to get Dak to the Browns for their pick, so they can draft Shedeur. This would require him to eat a huge amount of money, maybe eat some other bad contracts in the trade. But he could do it, knowing he'll have Shedeur under a modest rookie deal for a few years. And Jimmy Haslem and the Browns have a history of being really gullible, and making the worst deals.
Speaking of...there was a very biting article in The Athletic this morning about how difficult of a time the Browns had coaching Watson, and how negative of an environment it created on the whole team.
like you alluded to, Prime will make sure his son goes to a team that he feels is the best fit for him.
That, I am certain of. And on this front I honestly can't blame Deion, to a degree. Like I said, I don't see any way he lets Shedeur go to the Browns, who are sitting at the #2 draft pick, and have been coy if they are thinking they'll take a QB. I think Deion would be okay with Shedeur going to the Titans at #1 overall, and even more okay with him going to the Giants at #3. But I think he'll be making direct phone calls to everyone to let Cleveland know there's no way his son is playing for them. If Deion gets the Cowboys job, and they trade Dak to Cleveland, then Deion will say there's no way Shedeur will play for Tennessee, and the Titans will just take Cam Ward (unless he's just terrible at his Pro Day, unlikely), letting Shedeur fall to the Cowboys.
I know that sounds almost silly, but if you think about it, it's a very Dallas thing to do, and a Browns thing to do. It's really not that unbelievable, if a little outlandish. I also think Deion could do okay in Dallas as a HC, and would know exactly how to work under, and talk with Jerry. I'm not sure how many teams his schtick would work on, but it would probably work in Dallas. And he'd attract some good assistants one would think. I think it's better than Shedeur goes to a team with a quarterback whisperer OC or QB coach than keep following his father. And maybe even sits a while, or if he starts and struggles, sits a bit. But if he goes in the top 3 overall, that won't happen. He'll be expected to start week 1 next year.
My previous post was a late night word salad. I heard Shedeur say he would be at the Combine, and would participate. I'm not sure if he will throw or do drills. But he seemed to understand the importance of being there, to let teams talk to him, see him in person.
The draft is more of a show, a spectacle. Ridiculously over hyped. And I wish the first three rounds were on day 1, with a one hour break between round 1, and rounds 2&3. I think for some players it's cool to be seen there, maybe if looking for sponsorship money? But Shedeur has enough personality that he'll get some of that anyway.
