They sort of drafted him in case they couldn't reach a deal with Trey Hendrickson. Maybe they are close with Hendrickson. I think the A&M defensive scheme may have hurt Scourton and Stewart's sack numbers but at least Nic had four; Stewart had 1.5. If we hadn't drafted two edge rushers, i would be in favor of exploring a trade for the guy.
How many new starters will we have on defense? That could be a good thing given how bad the D was last year, but it could also take some time for them to gel.
I feel like Jalen Milroe is this year's Anthony Richardson, but he was drafted in the third round with no plans for him to start his first year. He has a much better chance to make it. They thought AR was going to learn to pass in the NFL by being a staring running qb who cannot keep a defense honest. It should not be a surprise that he is struggling and picking up injuries.
I hope our first two picks do better in year one than those two. I was surprised we prioritized a rb over s considering the Brooks pick and the rico fa agency pick up. I'm glad they were true to their board and got their guys. Could be a great draft.
The Rams didn't have a second round pick and would have to give us something in '26 so i don't blame the coaches who need to win sooner rather than later.
Ramsey feels a little like Clowney. A vet who was not at his peak but still added a lot of value and a little bit of baggage. That just isn't in our short terms plans.
The NCAA blew it. I wouldn't be surprised if the SEC and Big Ten drop the NCAA and form a super league:

That would at least allow the ACC and others to get back to being universities first.
Where is the Panther interest coming from? I am seeing Cowboys, Rams, Ravens, Eagles. I doubt the Dolphins would take a 5th, and I think Ramsey would prefer those other teams.
