Bear Hands

Unsure who you're talking about but I'll check him out - school/pos? Haven't seen that name pop up. Historically, we never get the WR or DBs I like so I'll stay cautiously optimistic haha. Sneakily love this DB class-- other notables being Stukes, K Scott, Abney, Ponds

I listened to him draft season last year and it convinced me McShay is one of the go tos a few GMs use for misinformation. His info last year was wildly off yet he claims he has direct FO intel. Examples being- The Jags were eyeing Jeanty (trade back bait), he went on-and-on about Jalon Walker as a top-5 pick and was convinced Dart was a Saint. Mason Graham was falling. Milroe was apparently a 1st. This draft may be just as unpredictable, if not more than last years.

I agree, he's a very good player. He wrote a nice piece the other day too; seems like a well put together dude. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/kc-concepcion-nfl-draft-ncaa-football-texas-a-m

Took care of ND, played well against Delane, torched Cisse. His WR coach was that same guy who coached Waddle and D Smith at Bama. Lots to like IMO

I mean, excellent route runner, great feet and quickness (which we just don't have), local (so likely a Panthers fan), and nfl.com has an interesting comp for him who was Dave C's pride and joy as a coach: Doug Baldwin. So I can buy this even if it ends up smoke. Also, he's different than any prospect we've drafted at the spot. I don't see the consternation -- yeah Coker is good, but man we still need some offense. It's not the end of the world people. Would be an interesting pick.

The two guys I think are underlooked at right now because of the Thieneman/M-W love: Haulcy and Kilgore. Feel like one of those 2 could end up here if we go WR in R1. Then go after Elarms-Orr LB who we've supposedly been all about mid rounds. 1-Lemon WR 2-Haulcy/Kilgore DB 3-Elarms-Orr ILB That's a scenario to watch out for.

Totally. As much as I like him, similar to others, only certain IDLs get that top-20 treatment. Takes a lot and he's kind of in that fringe-1st range for me. Excellent talent but I have a itch there will be better available at other spots.

Breer was saying he could go WR1. If he does, Tate finds his way post-10, we could for real be in a spot for Lemon. With our Hawaiian WR already in tow, could become tangy group of dudes. Lemon+Pineapple I'll see myself out...

Seems like we have an eye on WR, but Thieneman is our #1 target on defense. Question is where does Thieneman slide in with the WRs? Most likely after the top-3? You gotta think one of Tate/Tyson/Lemon or Thieneman will be there. And it will be a very fine addition. And McNeil-Warren and/or Cooper Jr would be the wildcards if they for some reason are all gone. Not much smoke around OL or Sadiq. We met with McDonald IDL but he's probably lower than the first 4 on our board.

If Tyson or Lemon are there, I could see them ahead of the DBs and OLs on our board. And that can happen-- If both are available after KC pick (likely), you've got CIN (no), Miami (need but huge D needs), DAL (no), TB (no), DET (no).. and some of the WR favored teams could easily go elsewhere (I.E. BAL/LAR go OL) The only one - I find it hard to see NYJ pass at 16, but it's a real possibility one is there if an OL run in the teens happens...which I find likely with Fano/Ioane/Freeling/Lomu/etc.

Zuhn is a goodie.

That’s what I’m starting to dream up.

One of either could be there. Brugler reported teams have Boston as their #3. Tyson's injuries haven't been flagged/seem minor so teams that love him will get him (could go as WR2). SO that's Tate and Tyson potentially gone, Boston and Lemon could both be there. Lemon is a guy I think could be the perceived "gone" that's just there for us and we take him..an obvious (and major) impact type.

I've tried saying this before hehe But yeah, ideally you seek the guy who can take on that fluid high shell role. We're 2 high the majority of the time, and play a lot of 6 DB looks, not just nickel. Which is why it's still great to have Ransom even if we land a safety who can pull into slot on different looks. Having these safeties with the capacity to roam (not necessarily a Kam Chancellor, it's been more refined since LOB days), but he definitely started a thing. You want that dude who can play robber, look like he's creeping up in the box and then drops back deep, the delayed blitz, or just pull into a slot role. You need that added compliment to Moehrig. And holy bananas this draft has precisely that in more than a few: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Stokes, Haulcy, Kilgore, Scott...it's a fun group. It's very much what teams are doing with their top guys like Pitre, Branch, Emman, Hamilton, etc. And a very valuable defensive piece. It's not some guy who just sits back deep playing pick-a-ball circa 2010 at FS.

He took over for one of my favorite prospects last year in Tyleik Williams (who went higher than expected), and McD had a great season. Interested to see where he falls.
