Mays and Zavala looked lost in the Reich offense. Granted Zalava was probably playing too soon due to injuries but he looked terrible. This new staff seems to be doing well with our OL. I also wonder if having two vets in Hunt and Lewis just made life that much easier on whoever was/is playing center.

You don't talk about TMac's QB that way!

I’m a little surprised we didn’t bring his brother in for rookie minicamp.

Yeah it all depends on a lot of factors. How well did Bryce play? Where are we in the draft? Which QB(s) do we love and are they easily attainable? If he is the weak link on offense and we are sitting in the draft with a talented QB on the board then yeah there is a good chance we draft him. There are a lot of variables in that equation though.

Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.

Yeah I'm not a fan of waiting on him to make that jump. He seems destined to play for a larger market and we have someone in Miller we can still build around. Get a haul for Melo and draft a G. I saw a nice trade suggestion on SI of him Ball to the Rockets for Smith, pick 10, VanVleet (who we can also flip), plus a couple future firsts. Two top 10 picks in this draft would be a great way to build around Miller and Williams. Smith is a solid young defender with a huge ceiling as well. I think it's the quickest way for us to turn this around. https://www.si.com/nba/hornets/news/proposed-lamelo-ball-trade-sends-hornets-star-to-western-conference

I wonder what they can get for Ball. I'm good with trading him if the price is right and drafting a Guard to develop with Miller. If the price is right now would be the time to flip him IMO.

Yeah I don't personally agree with it. I mean the Ravens just walked away with the best safety in the class and an edge that was a potential 1st rounder. Build your roster and the let the draft fall to you. Like you said winners win.

Said he will go to IR if unclaimed.

At the end of the day we all just want sustained success and to be a constant threat in the playoffs. He just thinks that way is a quicker way of getting there. I don't personally agree with the logic, but I understand where he is coming from.

Honestly just glancing at those numbers, I’m just happy about the attempts. Looks like he was on par with Baker who is known to push the ball down field. I hope this trend continues and really opens up our whole offense. Side note, Penix only having 13 attempts and most were probably against our 3rd stringers that last game should exclude him IMO.

As an Auburn fan I think we need to keep going with real tigers. Cam and DB worked out pretty good…

Lol is anyone seriously hyping him up? I think it’s all for fun for the Clemson fans. We never get Clemson guys on our roster. Let them have their fun.

You are going to feel silly when your guy is cooking on Sundays. He is only a year older than Samuel surprisingly. Honestly our WR room is pretty jammed tight right now. XL, TMac, and AT are locks with probably Coker. The other slots will be for young guys to develop (David Moore is probably gone). Horn has a chance as a returner and I wish Moose Jr has a better shot at making the team but I doubt it...

Jimmy really does compliment those big outside WRs pretty well. Twitchy speedster is something we need on this offense. I'd love it if he could be used similar to Curtis Samuel. I know the odds aren't in his favor based on where he was drafted.

I was mostly joking. I know @CRA is a big Clemson guy. Honestly the hope is that Coker (or possibly Jimmy Horn) take over the slot this year after AT retires. XL and TMac should hopefully be holding down the Z and X.

Renfrow will be our new AT. Give it time.

Agreed. Our offense is getting pretty complete, maybe a legit TE1 but not many teams have that. Hopefully Bryce keeps developing and we could have a fun offense to watch for a change. The good news is next class looks to be loaded with QB talent if we need it and our situation on offense should be good for a rookie as well.

Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

More like Daniel Jones

We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.

So we should have sold off all of our talent and what? Allowed Fitt to have an excuse to stay longer and use all that draft capital. He was pretty bad at drafting... I feel like we were going to struggle regardless until we got the right staff here. Hopefully Tillis, Morgan, and Canales are the right group.

Back to Bryce lol. I agree. I said "Bryce's situation was different because there were genuine concerns about his size." I'm just saying I doubt Tet did this as well like you suggested as there wasn't really a need to.

Weighing more than what? His weight seems to be what was expected aside from a random Huddler on here claiming he has the frame of someone in high school? He didn't magically weigh more.... 6'4" and 219 is still a slim frame but again he is a WR so it doesn't matter as much (see Higgins and London). Bryce's situation was different because there were genuine concerns about his size. @LinvilleGorge already hit the nail on the head. None of the top guys are doing combine workouts and it's not some conspiracy about them adding weight.
