Bear Hands

in before "we were sneakily in for Stroud all along and did in fact buy in at his pro-day, we're gonna duke the Colts into a R1 trade, gain a 2024 1st back, and let the Texans grab Bryce" Stroud at 4 to CAR!"

Someone, as some would say, "sh*t in my cereal" this morning so take my insults lightly haha

The pedantic Andy Bernard fellow should be happy about this

It is now 10:1

Jax from Vanderpump Rules

Those are some good ones

no

This I dig. They pick prospect (a) Wilson who does moderately well, does not elevate franchise, (12) they select JSN who does moderately well, does not elevate franchise. They flush it all it 3 years. Rinse, repeat lol. They have new peeps in house but it still feels questionable.

It’s always the ones we never pick in these darn mocks amiright? Haha

Whatcha got? Examples: -Hooker goes to LAR -Johnston and Hyatt slip past 39 -Dallas trades up for Mayer -NE trades down and take Zay Flowers who they covet -Cardinals go Gonzalez

So are you typing all of this to waste your own time or in the hope Tepper reads it? Or just want meatballs?

I’d like to introduce you to the current Kennedy under construction in Chi-town my friend.

Robert Mays and Mike Tice’s son are the best thing going. Just fun dudes that own their faults and are having a good time getting the best guests possible on tAFS. Other good ones around as well. Kollman gives it his all, The 33rd, a bunch of solid outlets. Monopolized TV based sports media is background noise at the gym.

Before clicking the link, you just know Mingo is the 2nd or 3rd round pick lol. Repeat for every mock for nearly every team the last month. Quite interested to see where he falls after all the internet infatuation.

I put in Levis at +4000 at #8 a week ago for $20. Have no idea why, but trades happen, so we'll see what goes down. Richardson at +600 at #5.

Neither will be our QB. Let us not get riled up about guys that don't matter.

Yeah, I mean he could fit RIGHT into a slot role pretty much immediately for a team in need. If he has no issue with absorbing a playbook and fitting into a locker room, I can see him having an instant impact in a place like Seattle or Buffalo who have that need. And we kind of do as well.

Ouuuuch.

Centers aside, it's a wasteland between R2 & 4 on the OL. There's maybe some, like that Freeland, Scruggs, maybe Daniels or Saldiveri. But I dunno, they're all 4th rounders or lower IMO. Think 132 or 145 could be targets (or picks we move to land more)

He really seems to be flying under the radar. Interesting note--the 4 highest volume receivers in CFB in 2022 are 4 guys available in this draft: Tank Dell, Charlie Jones, Rashee Rice, & Xavier Hutchinson. I think Jones & Xavier are being mega overlooked in a pretty bad receiving class. I trust the mid-tier more than Johnston, Hyatt and some. Rice had early hype that fizzled, and I see as a guy who could very well be there at 93-114. Same with Hutchinson & Charlie Jones. I think that's the sweet spot. We shore up CB and/or elsewhere before.

You've got Torrence with Avila not far behind as viable interior linemen. And aside from a few centers and Mauch, there is a cliff and it's one of the worst OL classes you'll ever see. Jaguars have been tied to Torrence in R1 but if not there, he could slide into the 2nd.

Mingo is this year's internet king of the draft build-up. Nearly every fan base is mocking him to their own squad R2-3. Doesn't mean we don't have a shot...but he's also visited so many teams. I think he's at like 21 of the 32. He's gotten a lot of free meals so nicely done. But when a player has that many visits, it's could be indicative there's something team's are trying to verify, maybe weird personality they're wanting to assess, just a lot of possibilities. The Athletic had a great thing about how a good portion of these visits result in the team crossing the guys name off the list after they leave the facility. They're extended interviews, and some of the guys we may covet the most, may not have any tie/connection via visits or meetings from the outside looking in. That's where a guy like Tuli Tuipulotu, Kelee Ringo or DJ Turner could swoop in and surprise as the R2 pick.

Meh. He could do respectable in the league. Can’t lie, he does seem a bit odd but aren’t we all. Won’t be our QB.

Avila or Mauch could be a great get in R2 in a trade down scenario, but otherwise, I think we stay away from most, if not ALL OL until the later rounds. I agree with a few of the anonymous reports via McGinn that GM & Scouts think this is the worst OL in recent memory. No sense in forcing ourselves to pick a position. WR is also bad, but there's some potential bloomers scattered in the mid rounds. Not many at all though, which is why you see nearly every fanbase mocking Mingo or Scott to their team. This draft is just shining bright with EDGE, TEs, RBs, & CBs. My guess is we have very specific player targets.
