There are a couple of really strong DCs with HC experience out there. Saleh, Eberflus etc.

The funny thing here is that the HC they ended up wasn’t their first choice, they picked second which left them with the best two QBs in the draft to pick from etc. Sometimes you also need a bit of luck.

He has probably the best set up of any QB in the league, but good for him, he seems like a really good guys.

There are very few elite QBs. You need a great overall team to win in the playoffs and win the superbowl. You need to continue to build a great team and hope your QB develops or that you stumble in to one. “Chasing” an elite QB at the cost of the team gets you nowhere. I have serious doubts Bryce will get us where we want to be (hopefully I’m wrong), but we need to build our team next year and give Bryce one more year to see what he can do.

Good one, Bryce did really well building up to that joke, funny stuff. I can see why he’s really well liked in the locker room.

I think Graham will be there and will be our pick. The two QBs and Hunter will be gone. And there will be at least two standouts from the combine, and then all of a sudden Graham’s “short arms” will be an issue for teams. It happens every year

If, and it’s a big if, XL can improve his hands in the offseason (like Chuba did), that would be a massive improvement to the WR group overall. XL did a really good job with route running and getting open to his year which was something I didn’t expect.

We need a defense that can stop the run, and I’m not sure that is Evero’s thing. He has not had much to work with with our personnel, but his philosophy of a smaller NT etc. gives me a lot of hesitation.

Winning in December against a team fighting for the playoffs is a meaningful win. It shows everyone playing hard for the coach and each other. It matters. Also, the talk about stopping the run? I think it will come through loud and clear in FA and the draft.

That’s where my head is at as well. If we draft him I hope I’m wrong. I want a great player, not a player that is not great yet but has the potential to be great.

He strikes me as a guy that loves making splash plays and then he goes silent. When he makes a play you definitely see him as he celebrates a lot. I’m relatively uninformed about him tbh, but I’m very concerned about his run defense and if he cares about it or not. Maybe someone that has seen him a lot can add something here

It’s not a great draft, so I’m not that concerned. I really enjoyed the win.

If so, the NCAA should just, imo, that it is all sports or none, and I don’t think the SEC has an appetite for that.

The 12 team format is a play in. Arguing that one team would be #12 over another is just semantics as both would get stomped. It is about finding the best team, not which of four is most deserving of being #12

I’m still in the camp if switching to a 4-3 and draft Graham in the first. There seem to be a fair amount of 4-3 DEs that would be around in round 2. Would completely change our d-line and defense

“…a Colorado fan…”. Well played lol

This year I think most of the top 8 teams have a chance tbh

Yup. There is not a single team outside of the 12 that would have a chance, and that is the whole idea, to make sure everyone with a chance gets in. Who is 11 or 12 is irrelevant.

We need more SEC teams in the playoffs…

I just watched a little bit and SMUs Elijah Roberts looked really good and have great size. I would Graham in the first round and Roberts in the second.

I actually think Georgia Tech would have matched up the best of any ACC team in the playoffs.

Disagree, if you’ve lost 3 games you have not earned the right to play for the championship.

If you have 3 losses, you should not be in the playoffs, no matter the conference imo.

They were all terrible and Bryce was also terrible when they were here. Both are true.

This is spot on and it was good to start the day with a laugh
