Bear Hands

We’re in a good spot to do something interesting in a trade up this year. And honestly, could just do something super interesting with only picks. And I don’t mind given this draft class in the top-8ish. Thats my next target if I’m the Horncats.

The way I see it, we've got Chuba another year and Brooks spelling him/hopefully not getting injured. Maybe Brooks surprises if healthy. He was a very highly viewed RB for a reason. After seeing the limited Etienne snaps, he's clearly a rotational back on the lower percentage rate. I.E. how TB uses Sean Tucker. So, unless something happens, Hubbard is getting bulk carriers, Brooks to spell/ease in, Etienne very situational. If Hubbard goes down, then we're relying on Brooks/Etienne, but at that point, you grab a guy off our PS or street at that point as RB3. Not a huge deal IMO. It's RB.

We finally have the right personnel for the Fangio 5-1 variation that Evero runs. Our Penny/EAT front could be a problem for some teams out there where we slide Trevor into the slot-- 5: Philips - Turk - Hunter - Brown - Scourton 1: Lloyd Slot/Nickel: Moehrig OCB: Horn & Mike Jack 2-High: Ransom & Wheatley Having the better pass rush juice is going to have a big impact. Oh and a competent green dot.

What was your old handle/name?

He just doesn't visit anymore. Not even the quick one word responses, it seems mostly done for him. His engagement slipped when his team access went. To be honest, and this is just the reality/not a dig: He won't sell, won't upgrade, won't give admin tools to any mods, won't let mods buy it, we all know he won't let BigKat buy it, doesn't engage with mods anymore, so we're just kind of stuck. Do find it kind of weird to not just hand it off. Deciding to rather hold and let it die rather than give it off and let someone maintain it. It's not much work or worth much as others have said.

3 to 4 of them were pure Ys which are more valued by teams than a lot of other spots now. Everyone wants their own Jackson Hawes. 12 and 13 personnel is abundant. Chicago and JAX got very particular types. 12 personnel was run 25% league wide last year. Huge uptick in the last few seasons.

It’s just kind of done for him. But he won’t let it go. So he’s letting the pet die a slow death in the well he lured it into. I don’t think intentionally, he’s just moved on but he won’t sell. We were told an update was coming like 15 months ago but it didn’t happen. So just enjoy this thing for whatever it is as it slowly dies.

I don't feel like we need to be dead set on getting some stud at TE. Awesome if we develop or find one, but it's not something I'm endeared to. Just find weapons any which way you can and build a forward-thinking offense.

It's too bad we can't really add new members anymore. Problem is this style forum gets spam accounts bombarding it and it hasn't been able to add new members for the last year plus. Felt a bit more quiet this draft not gonna lie.

I prefer to have zero expectations for a 7th but we'll see. In the past handful+ years, there's not much notable guys at LB outside of maybe Zaire Franklin & Kaeden Ellis when you're talking that late.

Oh yeah Ladd too. There's too many rock solid dudes in that pick 34-60 range from that class to make sense of it. Edge Cooper, Nubin, Sainristil...the list goes on.

We did not come away with one of the offball talents in this class so it seems Trevin is now given Year 3 to show what's up. We spent the 72nd pick overall on him two years back...he had some moments as a rookie, fumbled the bag last year. Looked pretty lost at times (some would say many times). Once he was shelved with an injury, Cherelus didn't look half bad. He started the final 4 and the Rams playoff game. Do we see a late FA signing? Or do you think this staff is putting their eggs in his basket for one more season? (Would be nice if a reporter would ask them a question about this). Or does Cherelus actually have the path to be paired as our starter with Lloyd? I get it that we were moving with the board and got who we valued. Just hope it pays off, there were some talented dudes at ILB in this class.

Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up. The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.
