Uncommon Idea

For a smooth sipping whiskey or bourbon, I tend to focus on a wheated bourbon.

W.L Weller has some nice varieties.

Redemption Wheated Bourbon was nice. Haven't seen it around here but haven't really looked though.

I think I also had Green River Straight Wheated Bourbon fairly recently and it was pretty good (assuming I've remembering the right bourbon). :dunno:

Cards have also been burned before with LB 'tweeners' like Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins, even Haason Reddick didn't really work out for them. Reese will make them institutionally nervous to draft another LB.

---

Well, I know the GM came in after the Simmons and Collins draft picks and Kingsbury AND Gannon have left as well, so is Michael Bidwell that involved to stop the drafting of Reese?

Reese might turn out to be an All-Pro but he has to develop. And the Saints don't exactly have a great track record there.

And yet, a pulmonologist who hasn't examined or tested Trump shouldn't be the one making that call.

I guess we should start listening to the internet gossipers' medical determinations too. I mean, they probably have the same amount of training in the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and geriatrics. AI LLMs for the win! :lol:

Scouting Report: Strengths
-Tracks the deep ball with outstanding body control, adjusting mid-stride to pull in throws over his shoulder like a natural receiver despite playing the "snipe" position.

-Averaged over 18 yards per catch across his entire college career, and that number holds up whether you watch the tape against Tulsa or against Notre Dame.

-Compact, powerful frame plays bigger than his listed size; consistently falls forward on carries and absorbs contact from bigger defenders without going down easy.

-Genuine dual-threat ability is not a gimmick here. He carried the ball nearly 170 times in college and averaged 6.8 yards per attempt with a decisive, north-south running style.

-Creates separation on crossing routes with quick feet and an understanding of leverage that belies his limited route tree; defenders struggle to stay attached when he changes direction.

-Willing and tough as a lead blocker in Navy's Wing-T scheme, sticking his face into defensive linemen without hesitation despite giving up significant weight in those matchups.

-Ball security is outstanding: just one fumble across 1,138 offensive snaps over three seasons, and his drop rate stayed remarkably low throughout his career.

-The intangible makeup is off the charts. A team captain, Naval Academy graduate, and future Marine officer who delivered in the biggest moments, including that fourth-and-goal catch against Army.

Scouting Report: Weaknesses
-The route tree is a real concern. Most of his production came on slants, posts, go routes, and screens, and NFL defensive backs will sit on those concepts all day.

-Pass protection was essentially nonexistent in his college film. He rarely picked up blitzers, and when he did, the technique was raw and unreliable.

-Open-field elusiveness is lacking; he runs through contact well but does not make defenders miss one-on-one with wiggle or shake, limiting his yards-after-catch upside.

-The Wing-T scheme created a ton of manufactured touches and schemed-open looks, which makes it difficult to separate his talent from the offense's design on many plays.

-Competition level in the AAC is a legitimate question mark, and his production dipped noticeably against the best defenses he faced, like the 20-yard receiving day against Notre Dame.

RB: Eli Heidenreich, Navy
PFSN CFB RB Impact Score: 80.5

The position designation may say “running back,” but Eli Heidenreich defies traditional categorisation.

Navy’s senior snipe became the first player in school history to surpass 200 receiving yards in a game when he erupted for 243 yards and three touchdowns against Air Force — his 82-yard catch-and-run earlier in the season against South Florida had already made him the programme’s all-time receiving yards leader.

He is just the second FBS player since 1956 to rush for 475-plus yards and record 925-plus receiving yards in the same season, joining Tavon Austin’s 2012 West Virginia campaign. Heidenreich finished 2025 with 499 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 77 carries while adding 51 catches for a school-record 941 receiving yards and six scores.

His 16 career receiving touchdowns are the most in Navy history.

PFSN’s CFB Running Back Impact Score of 80.5 places him 42nd, though that number fails to capture his unique skill set as a hybrid weapon. For NFL offensive coordinators seeking versatile chess pieces, Heidenreich’s film offers creative possibilities that transcend positional labels.

As far as an NFL comparison, Heidenreich models his game after Christian McCaffrey. Any comparison to a 3-time First Team All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year is certainly ambitious, but the two produced nearly identical Combine numbers. The differences are marginal at best — one inch in height, four pounds in weight, 0.04 seconds in the 40-yard dash, two inches in the vertical jump, and one inch in the broad jump. And stylistically, both double as capable rushers and receivers, each completing the rare feat of a 100-yard rushing / 100-yard receiving outing at the college level.

“It’s a big jump, but I’ve always looked up to Christian McCaffrey,” Heidenreich said. “He’s an incredible player. If you compare me and him, you put our Combine numbers side by side, I think we look very similar. Similar build, height, weight — it’s kind of funny. As a running back, I’d be able to do a lot of things he does in the receiving game.”

He's someone I wouldn't mind with our last or maybe second to last pick (#172 or #190). I think he could might develop into a versatile weapon, but at a minimum, could free up an gameday roster spot by performing triple-duty (spell players at RB, WR, and provide special teams work).

Yeah I don’t think we should target a C this year with Ruiz still on the roster and McCoy in place.

---

McCoy has played in just 14 games the past 2 seasons. If the Saints think it's just bad luck, then maybe Center isn't a priority target, but it shouldn't be totally discounted.

If the right player falls and is a good value, it shouldn't be off the table as McCoy is only under contract for 2026 and 2027 as of now (non-void years).

Altered (2006) is a bit of an inversion of abduction movies - some friends/rednecks basically abduct an alien for revenge. It's probably more of a B movie but it was a fun watch.

Ejecta (2014) is a bit of a hodgepodge film - partly found footage, some POV action, and then partly interview (maybe they ran out of money for the others?). It's a bit different and lesser-known but maybe it'll interest you. Sadly, it feels a little half-baked compared to some other films.
