I really don't think Dan does. Dan and his team are frankly, a continuation of Fitterer in some aspects. They own parts/aspects of what happened dating back farther than the last 2 years and don't have the same real start line of Dave. It's weirder for them. Plus, Tepper to date has sort of had GM/HCs that aren't really attached. Dave IMO could probably survive off just a highly productive season from Bryce. If he started to really get some good output from the passing game and we lose off bad defense.

hey, I still haven't been wrong about them drafting a Gamecock! That was my first prediction this week therefore it must be the best and one that should carry the most weight showing my prediction brilliance! They will draft a Gamecock. Burch counts. I'm going to count the UDFAs as well as they were in the draft in theory. Also I am in including kids that played them or watched a game. Or ate chicken. If I hit on that, please note that as well. Can't just pay attention to the Ls.

they never met w/ Green at any level to my knowledge. I assume that means he wouldn't even be considered. Think to draft a dude w/ red flags relatively high they would have met w/ him.

Let's take Shilo too in the 7th. Have a Sanders package with both in at S

well, it's the Browns pick 2nd, 2nd rounder... I would assume in the deal you figure out largely what they are/aren't doing w/ their first pick before you trade. That leaves 2 teams ahead of you. So you just need to figure out what one of them will or won't do. Then you are guaranteed one of your two guys. It's the Panthers. They will move up and do whatever. They will say they had a first round grade on them. Like the S. Call it a steal. Half the board cheers. Half cries.

yeah, that's a bad question. Just ask him his strengths.

I am going to redeem myself after being so wrong about the first pick. If they are going to trade up to pick 36. They draft either Emmanwori or Ezereiruaka (both top 30 visits)

we are in the forever rebuild that isn't a rebuild. They have been clear on that.

What question was refused?

Heck, call up the boys in Buffalo and get Curtis Samuel back for the cheap to be the slot. Buffalo brought him in there but then Shakir blew up in the slot. Josh Allen got a legit bomb thrower for an arm.....yet you see Buffalo prioritizing that slot action. Not sure why there is this weird quiet movement to stay away from that like it's insulting to Bryce Young.

You can keep talking about that cherry picked stat line. Bryce Young in his entire football career.....has never been a deep ball guy. Sure, everyone needs that in their game. He does too. That's not why we drafted him. We don't need to try to wish him into a downfield passer. We don't need to build an O that doesn't play to his strengths. You know what weren't the best at? Well below the league average in what we got out of the backfield. Well below the league average in YAC. That's easy yards. Those moves the chains. And Bryce getting the ball out quickly to playmakers is literally why we drafted him......and we immediately traded away those guys right before we drafted him and given him none.

need a quick Y working the slot more than anything. You don't need first round picks on those guys. Not saying I want to go draft one tonight. But Bryce needs a youngster to build chemistry with. AT is the dude in need of replacement. Bryce IMO is always going to lean to that area of the field. .

yeah, we don't really need a legit deep ball haymaker guy. But we need the other aspect of Ted's game. A dude he can take a nothing pass at the line of scrimmage or a simple hitch or crosser to the house. Curtis Samuel would be another example when we had him in the slot w/ Teddy. We still lack the diversity you want to see in a pass attack. XL, Tmac, Coker and Saunders are our 4 investments right now and they are way too similar.

I keep banging the Jordan Burch drum so probably safe to rule him out at this point.

how funny would it be if Deion's prized possessions ended up in Jacksonville and Carolina after all his talk of what he wouldn't allow to happen to them?

Going in, I was holding on hope that would be my realistic dream outcome. They would go all D but snag Noel. He projects well into that slot/YAC role. I mean, I wanted Warren but knew that had 0% chance of happening. I thought the Noel thing had a legit shot since they brought him in for that top 30 (and assumed Tmac was largely due in a diligence in a trade down) but yeah, they have to go defensive front in the 2nd now I think.

XL made a TON of sense.....because he fit what Canales did in Tampa and Seattle. And we drafted XL when most folks that Bryce Young era was likely about to end. Nothing nonsensical about acknowledging what Canales has always been about/around (and how his draft picks fit that)......and how Bryce Young at no point in time when we drafted him was billed for fitting such an offense. It was all PG quick distributor talk. Which meant YAC players around him and getting the ball out with his super brain. XL and Tmac struggle getting open quickly. They are more suited for a chunk play team that is playing off the run and sets up for WR to have time to get open downfield (which is the Canales tree). Which is what Canales is basically drafting. Square peg/round hole. It's not nonsense. It's the Tepper era.

yeah, that's my point. His friends gave it to him. He didn't pick it. We aren't his friends. He will be a football player for the Carolina Panthers. NFL fans likely will appoint him a nickname at some point or maybe they won't. Nicknames are just weird things. Some dude was called freaking Cornbread in college. No one called him that here to my knowledge.

my history tells me that half the fun of being a fan is pretending that if I was GM we would be 17-0 if they just listened to whatever I make up off of watching random college kids play a random game or so.

the real #1 spot in a Bryce Young O isn't going to be a big body on the outside though. Which is why a discarded WR that the league pretty much said shouldn't be a starter anymore had a mini-rebirth. We all knew where Bryce natually would go w/ the ball when we drafted him and are building a roster.....suited for Jake Delhomme.

You rarely get to pick your own nickname though. Others largely dictate that. Otherwise, I'd just prefer to be called Brad Pitt #2.

It's got the sort of room to run in all kinds of directions. It was mentioned in the article so I assume folks in AZ tried to make it a thing at some point.

During a pre-draft appearance on ESPN, receiver Tetairoa McMillan clarified that his preferred name isn't "Tet" but "T-Mac." https://sports.yahoo.com/article/cowboys-could-end-t-mac-234505180.htm that said, I'm going to call him T-Bone.

Tmac is more of a finesse WR than a Evans or Higgins. Now for all my bashing on the pick. I will agree, if you get the ball in Tmac's hands.....he offers more after the catch than some probably think. While doesn't have great speed and separation...he has good moves w/ the ball in his hands. I just worry you are going to have to scheme Tmac up too much to get open. Don't think he naturally is going to be able to get open easy at this level.

and AT was about to retire after this past season. Hubbard, XL, Tmac, Coker, Saunders. That's not in theory what you should have for a PG distributor you dump the farm in named Bryce Young. CMC, DJ Moore, Anderson, Curtis Samuel, etc. was the Bryce Young O build.
