I think people are sleeping on Etienne. His scouting report was that he was good at everything, no holes in his game, just that he wasn’t amazing at one thing. He’s also got the DNA in him and he’s always been on teams where he’s had to share reps with other good RBs so he’s never had monster numbers but if given the reps I think he could put them up. He could be a three down back cause he can do it all. He also doesn’t have much wear and tear on his body because of sharing reps. He’s only 21 right now so he’s also still young. If we have a decent offensive line then I think he could be our answer.

I believe DJ Chark actually was doing well and on pace to have a good career before he got injured. He didn’t do anything his rookie season then had a 1000 yard sophomore season followed by a 700 yard season where he missed a few games, he probably would have caught another thousand yards had he not missed a few games. Then in season 4 he got hurt and only played 4 games. He still was okay after that injury, having 2 500 yard seasons back to back before disappearing. So who knows what Chark would have done if he didn’t get hurt.

Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one…. was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones. he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.

No surprise really. I’m more worried about what we do after. I don’t want us to give him a big contract after his 5th year if he end up being mediocre. If he continues to improve and plays well then I’m fine giving him an extension but not until. I think this upcoming season is the season we decide if he’s going to be our future or not.

I’m pretty sure we got the score that we did simply cause we drafted Bryce who was the top qb in the draft.

I have faith in Evan’s. Plus I would rather have our tackle who has a very high ceiling than a TE who has little production in college.

I think he is the the kind of player that checks off all the boxes as a hidden gem. never got a chance to start at Ohio state cause he had top recruits and nfl prospects in front of him and he was just a walk on. Had a great year but it was at a small school so he was overlooked. I don’t think he will start this year but he will make the team. Why? Because he is a special teams ace. So he can offer versatility that other players at his position don’t.

Am I not the only one impressed with the fact he had the second most pressures of any DT since 2023? I understand these picks aren’t sexy as you can’t just look at a box score and see everything a linemen does but I think this guy might end up being a good player for us.

This is the kind of picks I like. Look at his story, it’s very possible he was a great football player that just fell between the cracks. He was a walk on at Ohio state for a few years. The talent that would be ahead of him probably prevented him from playing. You also had more experienced players and having to deal with the politics of the team as they probably wasn’t going to give an unproven walk on a job over a 4-5 star recruit that they gave a scholarship to. The linebackers at Ohio state were nfl players, many first round picks. he goes to Miami, has a great season but doesn’t get a lot of attention cause it’s a small team. So I’m seeing he didn’t even get a combine invite? So that means not many teams were able to see his physical traits. He did well at his pro day. he could end up being a diamond in the rough. He can make the team by playing special teams, get used to the nfl and work his way up.

To be fair I don’t think we lack a WR that can play the slot. Tet, Coker, horn and I believe XL can all play the slot. What we need is some outside WR and this guy can play that role. The question is can he play this role at a NFL level. I think we have the staff that can get the best out of him. While I do think there’s a good chance XL is done and he will end up taking XL role, XL could finally hit his stride this year and we end up seeing him get all the reps and Brazzell doesn’t play a lot this year. Honestly I wouldn’t complain if that happens cause I would like to see XL not end up being a bust. with that said, if XL does end up being a bust and showing little to no improvement this year then this pick makes even more sense. All it takes is an injury to Coker or Tet and we are going to be screwed by having XL as our #2 WR. This gives us insurance and a player with a lot of potential.

Kyle Hamilton ran a 4.59, kam chancellor ran a 4.69. 40 times are over rated.

Ranked 189 out of over 3000 CBs since 1987 . so that’s probably why we got him. His style doesn’t seem to fit our scheme but maybe he can adjust or be moved to another position?

No he isn’t lol. How can he be will Lee the 3rd when spikes father is also called will lee the 3rd? I think your wrong on this

Hes 6’4 what you mean lack of height? I’m hearing his strength and arm length is in question but I would rather have a offensive linemen who is technically sound over and having average physical traits over a player with great physical traits and no technical skills. there’s been plenty of offensive linemen who ended up being great that didn’t have the physical tools but were technically sound and there’s been plenty of bust that were elite physical players but were raw technically.
