Captain Morgan

so we got the guy we wanted and picked up a 2nd next year. lol

and we got him by trading back and picking up a 2nd next year!

so we got our guy and picked up a 2nd next year. just wow

we're on the clock

interesting graphic they showed... last 10 picks have been from 3 positions..WR, DT, and CB

incredible...we got an extra 5th this year and a 2nd next year. can't believe it

Bills wanted that type of WR and probably thought we'd take Leggette

from The Beast (Brugler) on Brooks STRENGTHS: Shifty athlete with outstanding run balance and vision … skillfully presses the hole and sets up defenders with subtle juke steps, forcing tacklers to dive at ankles (credits Texas RB coach Tashard Choice for developing his elusiveness, especially at the second level) … instantly changes gaps (and frustrates linebackers) with his explosive jump cuts … able to breeze through arm tackles with his initial acceleration through holes and in/out of his cuts … sticky hands as a receiver with the body control and catch radius to pull in off-target throws … dangerous target in the flat with his ability to make the first man miss … blocks with the awareness and toughness needed for pass pro … only one fumble in college … described as a “genuine” person by his teammates and as an “invaluable” leader by head coach Steve Sarkisian; had such an impact that Sarkisian sent him on the field for the final snap (victory formation) of the 2023 Big 12 Championship Game (just weeks postACL surgery) … averaged north of 6.0 yards per carry in each of his three seasons in Austin. WEAKNESSES: Tall, well-defined body type but leaner than ideal with inconsistent power and pad level … guilty of making too many moves in the backfi eld when the read calls for him to get downhill in short yardage … shows patience on one play, not enough the next … bl ocking skill set is promising, but he prefers to slam his shoulder into blitzers instead of setting up shop and using his hands … saw just 46 snaps on special teams … medical evaluation will be important after he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee (November 2023), which required surgery and sidelined him for the remainder of the season and the draft process; also battled injury as a sophomore and had bilateral hernia surgery the day after the bowl game (December 2022), which sidelined him for most of 2023 spring practices … only threequarters of a season’s worth of starting production. SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Texas, Brooks emerged as the Longhorns’ go-to back in head coach Steve Sarkisian’s spread RPO offense, which utilizes both zone and gap principles. After two years behind Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, he put together an All-America-level season in 2023 prior to suffering a torn ACL (ranked top five in the FBS in rushing at the time of his injury). Despite a wide gait and long legs, Brooks is a controlled, instinctive runner who forces missed tackles with his subtle ability to set up defenders and string together moves with timely, sharp cuts. He can be inconsistent in short-yardage situations but offers third-down value with his promise as a blocker and natural pass-catching traits. Overall, Brooks is a springy, balanced athlete with a feel for lane development and the elusive traits to create his own yardage, both at the line of scrimmage and on the second level. Stylistically, he reminds me of Kenyan Drake, although Brooks has much better vision and big-play potential (assuming he returns to his pre-injury form). GRADE: 2nd-3rd Round (No. 48 overall)

yep, he was joking around

Arizona needs a CB...they may take him at 3

I work with a guy that just graduated from SC and had a couple of classes with him. Said he was a great guy and really built well. Cole said he worked on a couple of project with Leggette and they got to be friends. It's weird to picture them together because Cole is a frat boy that looks like Ken from Barbie, and Leggs is so country. Sounds like he can get along with anyone

the Oregon guy is falling, I think because of injury concerns. I'd the CB or ILB here and hope Frazier lasts till the 3rd. I know we like Sainristril but he doesn't play outside, and that's what we need.

BPA is gonna favor defense a lot before our pick. The second run on WR will be interesting. First run at CB will be as well. fairly deep draft for CB, just no elites

wow, first time the Bears have had the first pick since 1947. And only because we traded it to them

a lot of the undrafteds would probably feel they have a better chance of making the team with us. So we got that going for us. Which is nice

Darin Gantt @daringantt · 5h Asked about Xavier Legette saying the Panthers told him they'd draft him at 33, Canales said: "Oh yeah, I said that to him, and 50 other guys."

Saints OL Hurst just retired. Their board now saying they have 3 holes on their once mighty line. They all agree Penning was a bust as well.

Falcons Expected To Face More Significant Tampering Punishment Than Eagles 11:39am: The NFL will not conclude its tampering investigation this week, per a league announcement. That will mean any punishment the Falcons or Eagles face would not take effect until the 2025 draft. Should a penalty come down, both NFC teams will have more time to prepare. Some around the NFL expect the Falcons to face more severe tampering punishment compared to the Eagles, per ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter. Punishment for the Falcons’ alleged tampering with Cousins is expected to involve Atlanta’s draft. https://www.profootballrumors.com/

thank you for reminding of this gem
