watched Blackshear in college, cant believe he stuck. congrats to him, but he's a ST guy at best. Tuten is a low profile guy. unfortunately i dont think i would draft him as i fear the meds. VT RBs are run down in college the last 3 decades. hes a shorter lighter guy. idk if he can 100% stick at the NFL level, but he has been nothing short of impressive, when healthy, at VT and there shitty pass game. he carried that offense for stretches the last 2 years. ollie gordon is an interesting guy that gets very little draft press this year. already a good reciever out of the backfield and great record on the ground the last 2 years. think he slides as he didnt backup the 2023 numbers on a bad team and hes a guy that needs a strong OL to realy highlight what he can do to a secondary. hes a load that looks for contact, but needs that runway to get going. start stop and hard cuts are not his thing. good/great in pass pro, and competent hands. backend of 5, sure take the flier, if you get him a runway with the line we have, he could produce on all phases. and my best for last is nick singleton. he was a monster as a true freshman at PSU. good not great overall production the last 2 years, but that RB room is stacked and both guys split carries. really developed as a blocker and pass catcher this year. take gordon and add the start stop and agility, but with lot less carries overall. personally he's up in the top 5 for me this class. if he drops to the 5th, sprint the card up. i think if we didnt heavily invest in the position, rnd 4 would be fine if he fell there too. i could see him taken early based on a big time combine, freshman year production, and great rate production every year. hes a little more boom, bust and still figuring stuff out, but PSU has such a crazy amount of talent in the RB room, he hasnt had the game reps of others to fully figure it out.

He would unlock brown as the UT and let teams have to decide to double in the middle of we go 4-3. Brown give us options to take a guy like walker. Then again I prefer grant to all. Think that size, power, quick twitch is top notch. He's not a flashy tactician and that's the real rub.

So Oregon folds in the playoffs again, no way. Guess they should have worn the maze and green that's almost blue to scare off the buckeyes cause this is a bloodbath.

Detroit allowed an average of 32.5 the last 4 weeks yet scored 37.5 a week over that span. They are one of the best offenses in the league even without montgomery. They are the #1 in points per game. They are riding that offensive juggernaut hard there. We average 2tds a game less than that Detroit team. Overall they had a better defense and better 1st and 2nd stringers to start. We are pulling PS guys weekly to start and the backups are PS guys in sub packages. Hell the 32.5 allowed is worse than our yearly average yet they won 3 out of 4 games... Also got the dysfunctional bears in there keeping that average down. They faced that bears team twice the last 5 weeks which helps pad the defensive stats for sure. They also got the jags and titans a few weeks earlier to help out with the banged up defense float. let's be real, bears, jags, titans and Richardson lead colts are battling us in offensive output, so no really challenges there. Detroit will really get the test in the playoffs, as the offense has bailed them out a bunch, well until the bills hung 48 on them 3 games ago. They are the team everyone wants to see win it all, but I think they legitimately have real trouble once the playoffs start with all the season ending injuries they racked up and having to ask Goff and co to go ham 4 straight games.

6th, sure absolutely. That's easy and can jettison ol plummer at a minimum.

If anything, it boosted his stock more. With him they were great 1st half, 31 points, 3 TDS after the fumble to start the game. then 10 points in the 2nd with williams. Oh and the guy that helped him all year at wr sat so.... Yeah Ward just makes plays. Kinda that guy that lifts everyone but that's taboo here ATM with the last guy said was going to be that style QB. I get it he didn't play the full game and got his stats and sat. Good. If he got hurt, it's millions it cost him. That record may stand a while regardless of how he does in the pros. He made it through with the record and not getting hurt, that's a W.

I'd be down for ward regardless. Yeah I agree there is better top end talent next year, but think the floor for ward is a starter. Idk if he's a top 5 guy for a decade, but he's gonna be a solid starter. Nothing in his college career says he can't be a mid level guy. From incarnate word, to Washington State to Miami, he just produced big time. Some huddlers were tapped in when he was still incarnate word, waiting for him to declare. Props to them, he looks the part every stop.

IMO it's icky. Is he a jag OT, or are we gonna see a top 15 or better guy that justifies an extension. If he's just a top 15 RT, that's fine and Moton can't stay there forever, but need to figure what to do at LT long term and let Moton play out 2026. Draft a developmental LT soon and let Icky man the spot for an additional year. Opinions are mixed on what he is still and that's not good for a top of the draft OT well into the rookie contract and approaching the need for an extension or move on from him. Need to see something to know what that next contract looks like and if it's here or somewhere else.

yeah it was wild, folks coping that stroud wont be top level cause he cried when a guy got a knee injury. like WTF folks. thats one of those alex smith type, oh poo this is really bad moments that the guys who have seen leg injuries even knew was anything but normal. sucks cause dell is a great story, mid rounder who always kills it. also that little guy that just makes plays all year long.

so much depends on what you want to run as the base/ highest percentage front. if you want a 3 man front, then Grant has always been the guy IMO, and Walker from Kentucky is right there too. pick one, cause expectations for both are crazy come combine time. love to get both but unless walker flops in the interviews and underwear Olympics (where he is expected to really make the 2nd or 1st round grade come true). Why? Cause with Brown, its 3 unusually large lineman that move like UT/ large Ends but can disrupt even when double teamed. it also lets the guys behind them really get freed up. i think grant is probowl level 5-tech (which is rare) as he is so damn disruptive even when doubled and helped make graham. there are a bunch of 5-techs this year to go get that can really help the run game and yet be respected as rushers or they will collapse a pocket. 5 tech thats interesting is Copehart from Clemson. not a stat monster, but great anchor and quick twitch guy. Rhylie Mills was another and he might be able to be a 5-tech or 3-tech, but want to see how that knee does. he was a team captain and productive as hell this year. Jordan Burch is another 5-tech to watch out for as well. good anchor and can still push the pocket out there. not gonna be a wiz beating the tackle often, but thats not the 5-tech's job. Sai'vion Jones is another that if he comes out, can develop into a great DE, but he may be able to play in either front, but prefer he develops a little more. grant to me is more the 5 tech if you stay 3 man front than a nose in either system, but could see him at NT and brown at UT to make a nasty up the middle pair, but he isnt the pass rusher others are who we could pair with Brown in a 4 man front. walker might be able to stick in that nose and anchor well enough in either front. both are NOT guys i go get if i want to run a 4 man front with brown (who should be NT, even if he would be a grand UT). then its Nolen and Williams, sleeper is the kid Zane Durant, if he declares to pair with D Brown. get that quick disrupter up the middle to pair with brown, cause they will all have to still double brown inside where he is still a monster, but let the other terrorize the OG. as for 4-3 edges, im not enamored with this class. lots of questions in lack of production from the freak athletes and over production for the ones that dont pop on so many plays like the top of the draft guys. carter with more production is a slam dunk, same with Williams from UGA.

yeah the start of the rhule years with herbert vs teddy, thats easy. herbert on that 2020 team would have been just fine. what did we do after the teddy year, oh go out and spend picks on a broken Darnold, and then a year later, broken mayfield. yes we would have EASILY been better off with an actual QB with upside in 2020 vs all that crap we pulled. lets be real, herbert had poo coaches till this year out there with the chargers, so that coaching part, yeah he already has been screwed before. you are being obtuse on the importance of d brown vs j herbert and everything that followed

best dance still goes to Franks, he just started earlier than the rest.

what, we literally were trying to move up for Herbert, and he went right before us. Hurney knew Herbert was the guy.

they are a really odd team. sometimes, they are world beaters, then they can go lay an egg against bad teams. kyler is the type that can win you a game and then turn around and make it impossible to win one. Card may move on next year if they can and get enough comp to go after the 2026 QB class.

hubbard had 49 yards to ice it. bryce with the game winning handoffs.

Chubba does.

hubbard called game

damn hekker is a boss, likely keeps hope alive

Hard to hate them, most are 3rx string level guys or PS. We blew our $ and capital one O. So this isn't exactly a surprise for most on here. We chose to let the D rot so we can evaluate the O. Next year I expect massive talent turnover on D and bring in a bunch of guys all over. Really need to go get a bunch on the DL 1st. I think we have 2 CBs worth a little bit, and 1 DL. Shaq is not long term but only LB we got worth a real damn. We need a bunch, and the vets we brought in this year are JAG or secondary parts on a average D. We need blue chip guys in the front 7 for damn sure.

Browns in full tank mode. DTR is not a NFL QB. They are hoping that some of the 3 win teams and 2 win teams fug around and win a game, but they have gone full tank mode up there.

Keep the 3-4 and add the real beef up front in Grant and Walker to add to D Brown. Walker as an every down scheme agnostic OLB, and Jackson outside in base and can come down onto the DL for pure pass rush downs.

love both walkers. jalon can play so many roles well. WLB, SLB, Joker..... deone walker is an absolute anchor with a really great 1st burst off the line. only other DT i really covet is Kenneth Grant. im not sold he is there at 50 or later. but hes a monster too.

Think it's broader than that. If they have a bunch of physical red flags, don't pick/trade the farm to get them 1-1, or even later still. There is a time to take that risk in a player with physical red flags, but trading assets and value from early rounds (4) ain't it.

Canales tried to establish a run game, hell 1st drive, went to it 2nd drive on 2nd and 5, but got nada and a penalty to make it 3rd and 10. 3rd drive of the game back to the ground, oh that ended in another turnover, INT. Following drive run again and backwards to start the drive. Then a penalty to make it 2nd and 18, sorry not running out of that one. Following drive is the Coker TD damn didn't establish the run there dave, for shame....... Stare the 2nd half with with a bryce fumble. We went 3 and out the next 2 drives after the fumble. Started with a run the 2nd drive of the half, as you wanted the 1st drive after seeing a fumble, and got 1 yard. What did you want another run then? In 3rd and a mile after the sack, running wasnt an option. Dallas scores a td after that 3 and out. So it was 24-7. Next drive starts with a big sack, so again want to run when it's long yardage and 2nd and 19? 3rd down was 11 yards to go, so again want to run? Dallas scores again so it's 27-7 and now the 4th quarter. Game set match. Woohoo we got one more TD, and the string plays out. Sean that story all last year. By the 27-7 mark, games over. Dave tried to run the ball, but either it was inopportune to run more in the 1st half, or a mistake cost is the opportunity. So no way no how this is on Dave for not trying to run the ball. Abandon the run in the 2nd half my ass. Unless you really want foxball and RR back (both are available, I wonder why) to run every 1st and most 2nd downs, we tried or it wasn't an option in the second half. So try another reason than abandoning the running game, dang troll. Stop blaming the coach for Bryce again. So to surmise, what we passed on 1st down to start the half and your blaming that? your words ' should have run the ball instead' is post fumble (bad Bryce outcome). We get a yard like 2nd drive in the 2nd half via running it and it's back to saying the running game is putting Bryce in a bad spot. That's the song and dance we heard last year and to start the year. Can't have it both ways. That fumble was a huge swing, as was the fumble in the red zone and driving with relative ease.

Was a missed false start too
