Bear Hands

NE, WAS and other WR needy teams have 110 mil+ in space. I won’t get my hopes up for Tee. Money trumps mostly all in FA, it will be tricky to outbid without an egregious overpay. Draft is obvious. Past the first, a guy like Ricky White could be interesting.

He's doing work in crunch time the last few weeks. Haven't felt confident about a QB being able to get us down field in a hurry since Cam, and Bryce is starting to get more comfortable in that regard. He's shown some of his UGA & Volunteers games type gravitas the past few weeks.

I do want an explanation on why communication seemed off between the calls and snap. There wasn't a steady flow of calls. Felt a bit flippant.

To confirm on PFF premium stats - he is now a 29.6 drop grade, only behind Darius Slayton and Dontaryon Wicks league wide for receievers over 20 targets on the season.

Wowww haha

Don't look now but if the NYG pull this off, they'll fall to pick 8 with their SOS.

How do you get one of them Zach Fraziers? He's one of the best graded centers this year as a rookie. Oh wait...

Plenty wanted the likes of Ladd, Frazier, Sainristil, DeJean, etc. Heck, Jerzhain Newton surprisingly fell who would have been solid on the DL. It's too bad we're already chatting about this stuff but it's hard not to see some pretty alarming concerns with XL that were evident and advertised.

Yeah - absolutely can't give up on him yet - these are however issues you don't want to see with a 1st round WR. Focus in the clutch is a big deal at the spot.

lol McConkey would have fit in so much better IMO. Interestingly enough, the two picks we traded up for are the ones that are giving me some serious pause right now.

He made it harder than it needed to be. That was a concern Brugler noted (who had him around 70 overall, and said many teams had him as a 3rd-4th rounder). He tries to do too much on throws that don't require much. Extend the hands and catch.

Or you just draft the WRs have have less acclimation needs with route running and college starting experience.

I hate to say it but his drops are becoming brutal.

settle down

That move by Thielen. That's what he needs to pass down to Coker and Legette. Great experience there.

Time to go for a home run here.

Pleasantly surprised with our interior pressure right now.

Seems a lot still look at defense here through a 4-3 base lens. If you draft Graham, we need to cut and save with Ashawn at DE. Robinson has been average, but uncharacteristically bad vs the run. Unsure if it’s because he gets the attention with Tuttle (average) and Ray (really bad)…but it’s a problem. In addition, Graham he could play interior in our Nickel looks where we’ve slotted Harris who was wretched. So after some consideration, the fit could work well with Brown. But we would still need a focused attention at upgrading our OLB. We need an upside pass rusher there badly.

If we somehow find ourselves in position to draft Ricky White III, he's a WR that could fill that hole in R2-3. He's a dude I like a lot for us.

JAX plays TEN, OAK & NYJ and agree - Jones, as mid as he is, was able to move the ball decently in that offense. They could easily land a win.

I don't see anyone that would be either long term or short term beneficial. I think we need to continue to develop our room through drafting like the Packers, Lions and others have done. The $ for FA should go to the front-7.

I honestly don’t see the fit although like the player a lot — but if he’s elite you take him and make it work. He would need to be DE opposite Brown but is a true 3 tech- a natural 4-3 DT. And we just signed Ashawn to a 3 year 22 mil deal who is a true odd front DE. On top of it, it would give us no one on the odd front that really gets at the QB but with a ton invested on the line at the same time with Rob, Tuttle, Brown and Graham. You need a Madubuike type to balance out that room. Maybe that’s him.

Also serves as a reminder that Darian Stewart and Brandon Marshall suck.

Not to mention the red is right fecking there - if he couldn’t see if the ball was secure to call it complete and no officiating angles could, then what are we doing here? So any catch in this particular scenario is simply a case if the ref feels like they caught it or not - without being able to see it.
