Really like the Trey Amos pick. Size, rangey, I think he fits the scheme well. AP said they'd have drafted him in the first. That's all the endorsement I need with this regime. #HTTC
Bit of a curveball, but Josh Conerly is a phenomenal pick by the #Commanders. Simply didn't give up sacks against great competition in college on more than 1,000 pass pro snaps. Maybe this means Coleman does kick inside, where I think he's more natural. Adam Peters playing 4-D chess. #HTTC

Immortality for #Gr8, Alexander Ovechkin, as he hits from HIS spot, on the Power Play. Great setup by the TV crew, and history is made with #TheGreatOne in the building. I'm not crying, you are. Ovi is the all-time leading goal scorer in #NHL history. #Ovi #Caps #Greatness Video/audio credit: TNT
McKenzie Gore out here dealing, 1H, 12K through 5, and Dave does what Dave does. Just get out of the way and let the young man deal. #Nats #NextGenNatitude

Michael Gallup feels like a "maybe he'll provide some depth" signing. Oft-injured, productive in spurts, decent size. Maybe he catches 15 balls, maybe he collects a check on IR, maybe it's DQ doing him a favor and giving him a camp shot. Not really a net positive or negative for me. #HTTC
Morning #HTTC post, I want to hear everyone's favorite team memory. Mine is really my first memory of being a fan: Doug Williams leading what was the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. Timmy Smith STILL being a trivia answer. Ricky and Gary were untouchable once they got rolling. What's yours?
Live in five, we're talking #HTTC trade for Laremy Tunsil, Bengals and Browns Brinks Trucks, Super Bowl roster fallout, and more NFL off-season. www.youtube.com/live/JTHv25a...

Slow news day for #HTTC, so we'll just throw up an appreciation post for JH, AP, DQ. It's been what feels like an eternity since this franchise felt this cohesive and functional. Decisive and deliberate off-season so far. Sustainable success. Couldn't have imagined this 5 years ago.
With all the new faces (I haven't even discussed Wise helping in the run game on defense), we can't forget the value in keeping our own. Deiter was a valuable utility lineman last year, and Noah Brown provides size along with being a good down field blocker. Nice mix of fresh and familiar. #HTTC
Any other #HTTC fans still getting used to the feeling of having a competent front office? Like... "I don't know what to do with my hands". Chef Adam and Co are decisive and purposeful, something we haven't had in a very long time. It's beautiful.
Jonathan Jones to #HTTC makes sense. Affordable vet who fits scheme nicely. Interest last year in a trade, eventually we landed Lattimore. Full off-season with them, maybe Mikey to the slot primarily, or it's a nice rotation for matchups. Mix in a rookie or two, shaping up the secondary.
The Will Harris move is interesting. He didn't have a great 2024 based on metrics, but played everywhere. I know DQ and JW value interchangeability and versatility. Harris brings that. I'm not sure it's a great replacement for Chinn, but it saves money. I still look at the draft at safety. #HTTC
Feels like AP and Co have had a great off-season so far. Locking up another of our own, a great blocker at the TE position. Very curious how the draft plays out, knowing that we have some positions of needs, but also that some of that has been addressed. Best player available is a luxury. #HTTC
Javon Kinlaw, 3 years, up to $45M... Not bad. Familiarity and fit. I'm curious to see if there's a move off Payne, or if we keep the rotation depth that both Peters and Quinn cherish. I'd prefer staying with Payne and giving Newton a bigger portion of the snaps (everyone stays fresher). #HTTC
Ertz is back on a pretty friendly deal for both sides, 1 year up to $9M. Great safety blanket and leader last season. I like it, but do hope we see more of Sinnott this year. I think he has solid potential to be the answer long term. #HTTC
Andy Reid is probably proud of X. Nobody digs a toxic athlete like Coach Nuggies. #NFL #ChiefsKingdom
@bleachereport.bsky.social has a proposal of Payne and a pick(s) for Hendrickson. Have to believe the release of Allen negated that, no? Also, far too much dead money, even with the favorable cap situation currently. I can't see AP and Co pulling that trigger. #HTTC
