wtf?

He's a dude on the field, but I would be doing a ton of research about him character-wise. I could see some teams worrying about him in the locker room after how poorly his interviews have reportedly gone.

Well, one thing is true... We clearly want to walk away from the draft/undrafted free agency with a guy we believe we can develop. This is the 3rd top 30 visit with a QB and the 4th notable visit with one.

Can he play C?

You don’t really draw offenses up like this anymore, at least not if you’re good. you want guys who can play inside out or anywhere in the field to mix things up. Concepcion doesn’t have the ideal frame to play outside, but he’s not small either and it looks like he charted really well on what are considered more perimeter routes last season.

Per Ian Rapoport https://x.com/RapSheet/status/2041496812469551198?s=20 I am sure this thread will be fun

Yeah, once it became clear that Donovan wasn't gonna make a decision in time we had to pivot off of that. Hiring Donovan would've basically meant eating a wasted season and getting a new era off to a horrible start because we would've lost a lot in the portal and basically had to try to piece together a roster out of absolute portal leftovers. It would've probably been the least talented roster we've ever put on the court, an absolute embarrassment, and might've given 8-20 a run for its money for worst UNC bball team ever. You can't start off a new coaching hire already in the wrong side of 60 like that.

We have a mole folks. Thanks for the info…interesting. I like the guy they got personally.

I’d argue Robinson is the biggest bust because of going number 2 overall never being good at any point and being far more famous for his exploits as a drug dealer after his career than a football player. But bortles played 8 years in the league, and at least had a couple of decent seasons, one of which included a playoff run that ended because of a very questionable call that favored the patriots. You could at least say there was some value to his career. I’d call manziel a bigger bust than bortles though because of the hype he got, the fact that Cleveland did have to give up a third round pick to get him at 22, and what a disaster he was off the field (and not good on it). Skipping concussion protocol where he was supposed to stay in Cleveland to go party in Vegas while wearing a fake mulllet, glasses, and a mustache thinking he wouldn’t get recognized at a casino and night club.

Robinson was imo a bigger bust than Bortles. I forgot he even existed and had to look him up to remember.

Only if we're dumb enough to re-sign him at franchise QB pay. *narrator chimes in* "And he knows full well that we are"

I'm not thrilled with the idea of drafting any WR at #19 unless Makai Lemon falls, but I will say KCC does have the right skillset to be a really solid slot receiver and that is what we need if we do go WR. My fear is they will try to force any WR taken in the 1st round into being the #2 across from TMac instead of realizing they have that guy already (Coker) and find a good slot option to compliment our outside WRs. Or this could all be a smokescreen and we'll end up going DL or CB. Who knows.

Well it’s not me you need to convince, you need to convince 32 nfl teams to not regard him or his demonstrated tape as being explosive

Drops and average speed are rather easy to find.

WRs maybe. The issue is his skillset is a highly coveted attribute that teams chase hard. Look at what Wandale Robinson just got in free agency. you can find a smaller guy later in the draft, sure. But finding a great one who is twitched up and explosive and ready to make plays? Those guys go extremely early.

Champions league finally back

Concepcion doesn’t necessarily end the Legette experiment which I think is part of the appeal. two different types of players, Concepcion being a highly coveted skillset that is extremely difficult to find.

Especially when you factor what we gave up for him. That dude absolutely crippled this franchise for a decade.

Fans be ready to bury XL 6 feet deep for a drop pass but want to draft another guy with issues? Nah

Officially offered the job to Lloyd, May and Donovan. Donovan hadn't said yes or no yet but wasn't going to make a decision in time. Last three was Byington, Donovan and Malone. New AD wanted either Donovan or Malone after Lloyd and May said no.

Yeah, there's a lot not being said about our OTs right now, just picking up a starter-quality in Free Agency spoke volumes, since we haven't done that in years. Still... maybe we get lucky and we have three active quality tackles moving into next season. Big guys all have normal-sized knees, though and those ligaments and menisci are just as vulnerable to them as they are to you and me. Gosh, I really wanted that Jag, too.

Hornets win at Boston plus Heat win at Raptors…we in 6th with two games left on the season.

Yeah, I'd take his career over Maziel's too but I'd rather have a bust at #22 vs. a bust at #3. Bortles was the bigger bust because the #3 pick is much more valuable than the #22 pick. Greg Robinson was a huge bust too and he went #2. The biggest bust in the draft is usually gonna be a top 5 pick and almost always a top 10 puck simply because of the massively skewed values of higher picks.

Not a bad choice but he was no doubt a panic hire after being turned down by about 4-5 others lol
