I am pretty confident in Morgan and Tillis making these decisions. Dam’s player trades have worked for us just about every time. A lot of times teams just want a little something before releasing a guy and getting nothing. If Dan wants to use a 5th or 6th or whatever on a guy I will go with it. I

Yeah I know. Especially with all the LBs that were drafted. Or maybe a player trade. It is what it is at this point. Maybe Wallace benefits from seeing Lloyd work, and does something to help himself. And not having the green dot to worry with. I think he thinks too much he is usually slow to the ball.

Well there have plenty of people calling for the heads of the scouts over the last couple of years and I had a hard time with it because I wasn’t sure they even knew how it worked. I sure didn’t. So getting some insight is good And as far as that goes I heard nothing in the three I watched that leads me to believe the scouts are making the decisions. They are vetting and building a database on these guys and in the actual on the clock draft days are probably only called on to pipe up when someone has a question about a player. Shows me how much teams put into this. These scouts have followed the players for years at this point.

I have watched three of the four. Have not seen that from anyone else. Putting the scouts forward like that. It is pretty cool.

Yeah he said Luke was his favorite player. Now he will be in the building with him. Seeing them get their dream to being a reality Is almost the best thing about this week.

Oh yeah. I didn’t catch that either. I guess whoever the current roster exemption is for the foreigners might be who they mean. Apparently the guy is the Euro or International scout along with the NE. Too tired now to run it down. well I looked but it is a bit of a google maze. I see the name Junior Aho but I don’t think that’s the guy he meant.

What else are you gonna do with a 7th besides gamble it on a long shot? They are just about all long shots that late. But getting a solid ST guy that can be LB depth, I would consider that a win. Odds are that even if he somehow gets to be a starter he won’t be a long term starter. They’ll upgrade. He could eat off of being a ST/depth guy for a while though.

Only real concern I have is weight/strength related. He seems a little light and the guys across from him are huge and strong. Hoping that him being in between Hunt and Lewis will help him out.

From memory, the S from SC that was still on the board. Forget his name. Pretty sure that’s what you are asking about. He said he didn’t want to speak on him because he didn’t scout him. Sidestepped.

7th round. Trade chart value near the bottom. Afterthought. He has good size and excellent speed and is a willing special teamer. Position group he joins has probably the lowest floor of all our groups. He has a great chance to make team. If he does, he’ll have eyes on him for ILB snaps.

The worst thing he did was trade up 2 slots. Which I don’t consider bad at all but some people were raging. The overlooking of ILB was unfortunate but if you are gonna do that, at least do it for your front and that’s the way it went. As far as the players, nobody knows the future. They were all sound decisions.

I never thought they used him right.

His money is guaranteed, I don’t know how much savings we can really get from a trade. I’d rather see him kept as depth if he doesn’t make himself a problem over losing his status.

I think Cherilus may be beating Wallace out.

Yeah. I called it a crisis in the works and caught a lot of pushback from the WR and TE crowd. But I stand by it. That Icky injury was a real setback. I don’t know what they would have done if we had not had things fall like they did. Glad I didn’t have to see, and hope Freeling picks things up quickly.

They were asking him if he had heard how they wanted to use him. He said no but…. And then said he’d play wherever. So there is no solid reason to think they intend to do that. And then we drafted a S later. But we will make a note of it.

I was hoping for a RB late but they say it is a down year for RB maybe there wasn’t a great option. But I don’t feel like building that room should be thought of as a finished job yet.

He said he would play wherever to help the team, outside, slot, and could even play safety if they want.

He does not lack confidence. Two weeks lol.

I suppose if the defense is further upgraded and it sure seems to be, maybe tossing a deep up for grabs ball won’t penalize failure (turnover) as much. So maybe we are more willing to take a risk.

For me it took care of business outside of ILB. I am good with letting TEs Sanders and Evans have another season to see where they can get to, rather than starting over with a hyped prospect. Can do that next year if they don’t come along. I guess we are about n the same boat with Wallace and Claude, which isn’t that horrible since we got Lloyd. If we couldn’t have ILB at 51 (or 49) DT was my acceptable alternative and I think this guy will compliment DB very nicely. Front could be nasty this year. PS I know we threw darts at a lot of needs later on, I am not going to pretend I know the players but it is supposedly good value and f a couple pan out, good to go.

We are for sure missing a tough quicker smaller prototype. You take what you can get though sometimes. This ‘next guy’ concept, is foreign to me. We have been sentenced to Bryce for life and are basically told to suck it up.

Yeah, that. He had to slow down for a few in his highlights and did really well. Of course they were highlights… It seems to me a fly route can only with with fast and Bryce if Bryce throws it up like, as soon as the ball is in his hands. Down the field the defenders can close on Bryce’s ball enough to close some large windows. This guy seems good at fighting for it though. The main thing is, I guess, if the defense has to appreciate it can be completed over their heads they have to respect that. Which for three years, they have not.
