McShay loves this kid. I've already looked at some of his tape. He's got all the tools, but not elite...yet. One thing he has you can't coach is size. He's still young and developing. Indiana has a tall order in the Big 10 this season, so there should be a lot of tape on him in the coming months against some really good teams.

I said that teams will watch the end of season film from last year and catch on to the 'adjustments' that Bryce made in the second half of the season last year. Rolling out to his right was a big part of it. Seems the Jags noticed this in film study.

We better not pick up that option either. Seriously.

Smith-Wade was the only one I liked for the value. I gave up getting pissed off during the draft. It's not worth it any more.

And to think Payton Wilson was there for the taking and we kept passing over him, eventually taking Wallace. Wilson looks pretty solid as a Steeler.

Bruh, if we get swept by the Saints I may have to get my Panther tattoo removed.

My guess is Harbaugh wouldn't commit to Bryce and Tepper is all in on little man. He has to be after what we gave up for him. You would think as a hedge fund manager he would know we to cut bait on a losing proposition.

To be fair, he was coming off a major injury and the reason he wasn't taken higher. Any team that drafted him knew it was essentially a redshirt season as he came back from surgery.

"be patient and look for your qb in '24" Hmmm...I was public enemy #1 for saying this. Several of you even gave me the nickname 'Mr. wait-until-next-year.' Heck even QB6 in that draft class looks worlds better than Young.

There is always a dark horse or two that charges to the head of the pack by the end of the season and the reason I went to 11. Mendoza is a name to keep an eye on.

By the same account, I wonder if they dinged him for the shovel pass INT that got gifted back?

Our TE room has been garbage every since Greg left. I have screamed from the mountain tops about this and all we do pick day 3 guys. Yes, Tremble was a 3rd rounder, but by all accounts was a day 3 prospect that Rhule drafted too high. Then there the "steals" at the top of the 4th round.... They 'drop' to day 3 for a reason, they aren't that good. THE Ian Thomas being prime example #1. Dude was like a bad rash that wouldn't go away.

Those TE grades! Awesome!

You know what they say about good intentions. By stacking the offense for Young and basically ignoring the defense, Bryce is going to have to play catch up nearly every game all season and we can all guess how that's going to work out. He's his best in a lead and can lean on an effective rushing attack. I just don't see that happening very often with this mess of a defense. I do feel bad for the defense and even Evero to an extent. Derrick Brown is going to need to be a one man wrecking crew.

You have to start from scratch...new coach, GM and QB. Otherwise there will be infighting about who compromised who when things aren't going well if their tenures overlap. All three starting at ground level will have them connected at the hip and give less room fro the inevitable finger pointing during rough patches.
