Another guy I really like and have mocked if I didn’t grab Rice is Zay Flowers. If you want explosive vertical threat. He’s probably the best in the country. On the smaller end 5’10-5’11. 170-185. but is an absolute playmaker. draftnetwork currently has his comp as Tyler Lockett https://thedraftnetwork.com/sr-prospect/zay-flowers-08a9c924-f9a2-4288-a242-e45d3d13c103/ https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Zay-Flowers-WR-BostonCollege

Let’s talk them in here. with Fitty’s comments about this being a sexy type draft even specifically mentioning a vertical pass catcher. I have a Strong suspicion we are going to take one early. Not rd 1 early but I’m pretty confident day 2 we will take 1. And probably more so on the earlier end. We are in definite need of anther explosive pass catcher. If the New Orleans game was enough proof. Our WRs have been just good enough in some games but outside of DJ Moore not a threat. Terrace Marshall has started to show some flashes. But you can’t bank on him just yet at being that stud WR2. Fortunately for us. This is a pretty good deep class at Playmaking WRs. I’ll omit Quentin Johnston, Jaxson Smith, and Jordan Addison as they will be long gone by our 2nd pick. First Guy I’m going to bring up (everyone feel free to bring in other names as well) is Rashee Rice. I’ve mocked him as of late. He has a late 1st rd grade by many. 6’2-6’3 and at-least over 206. He is expected to run in the late 4.3’s to lower 4.4’s. He will be at the Senior Bowl here in a few weeks. He plays in a more special spread oriented offense so he’ll have a little learning curb in the NFL. Which isn’t uncommon with modern day College players. Josh Downs is another one. He is a Alpha who is very aggressive going after the ball. Draftnetwork currently has his comp as Chris Godwin. https://thedraftnetwork.com/sr-prospect/rashee-rice-4c87001f-e709-40ee-8c80-f15416da75f6/ https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Rashee-Rice-WR-SMU https://withthefirstpick.com/2022/12/03/rashee-rice-nfl/

Here is the thing though. Having a guy you are actively developing will give you more leeway as a HC than actively going through retreads there 2 perfect examples of that this year in Matt Rhule and Frank Reich

HC: Frank Reich 1st rd Pick: Will Levis

There is a reason he is being fired. Hard pass.

.

@Verge what are your current thoughts on Levis? I think Bryce will go off the board at 1. And while I like Stroud. I wish we wouldn’t trade Up for a QB. Allowing us to use those 2nd-3rd rd pick on other needs.

I trust Allbright 100 times out of 100 over Kunkel

He got interviews last year. but reality came this year once Arians left and everyone realized outside of Tampa who was really calling the shots. Most of Tampa’s success has been when they let Brady call the shot this year. In fact the Saints game comeback. That last game winning drive. TB12 actually told Bowles, I’m calling the plays this one. Leftwich has been awful. Bowles could be out too. But Leftwich will be the first one, who’s play-calling has been a big issue

Leftwich ain’t getting a HC job anywhere. in fact, word down here in Tampa, he very well will be canned as OC this offseason. Dude is terrible.

Did you flip the game off at half time? Ickey gave up a strip sack deep with 2 min left in the game which resulted in them scoring a TD making it a 9 point game. OL isn’t the reason we lost. Far from it. but they did have their toughest outing in a bit. A big reason we got away from the run run was because they weren’t getting any holes.

Doesn’t he play all his home game on the dam type of artificial turf the NFLPA wants completely banned. (Slit Turf)? https://www.mlive.com/lions/2022/11/nflpa-president-calls-for-immediate-ban-of-turf-used-at-ford-field.html?outputType=amp

I’ve been a big Kincaid stan I’ll be to the moon if we take him in the 2nd rd!

WFNZ just had Luke on to talk about Wilks and the current Panthers and well…..
