We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy. If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm. But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way. Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce. Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

Morgan did a great job getting Walker. First off, credit. Tackle is the most obvious and critical position to address and it became so the minute Icky went down. WRs are nice safeties and corners are nice but the oline is the heart of he offense and you look at the track record of the guy we have running it, he can not operate without soldi protection and a stout running game.We have a lot of people out there who just do not get it. Sorry to have to say it they will be insulted. But this is just one of those things that left insufficiently addressed will ruin a season and with this QB and the breaks people give him, maybe many more seasons if they excuse their way into extending him by saying well the OL was the problem

Man oh man talk about getting it wrong coming And going. Have two viable arms and don’t stay the course so you draft a noodle arm that stands on his tippy toes to see, they make us go the full 5 years waiting for him to pan out.

I think it is more disgust than outrage. I was outraged three years ago. I am reduced to mostly harmless and ungratifying heckling these days.

Where is Randy Fasani? Clausen?

Group think is in play.

I thought most people liked Tet last year. At 8 it is easier probably since you know you are getting top shelf. I think the only play I would be real down on would be the TE but even then it depends on the choices we pass on to do that.

I wonder what he weighed in at.

Never saw a picture. Saw “almost 400 lbs”. That will hoist a flag or two.

How many of y’all saying you’d take McCoy have bitched about taking Brooks? Not saying you have, but an awful lot of people have. Rhetorical question sort of. But that is a risky deal for a first round pick.

Wow. Slob.

Yep. I am no fan of Alabama QBs but I am almost behind taking him ourselves. What a message it would send. Shake some stuff up.

It sure feels like there are a lot of similarly talented players from our top pick down to the early 2nd. I think a highly rated guy could fall to 19 but unless it is an OT I am probably thinking great someone will want to come up for this guy. And I want one of Rodriguez or Golday with our 2nd, and an OT or a DL taken ahead of that. If the USC WR falls you can make a case. Outside of that, I am out on WR/TE in the 1st. I don’t think I trust Evero with these safeties.

I have noticed C and OT falling off of a lot of these mocks where early on we had a lot of OT 1st LB 2nd C 3rd round predictions.

I have been trade down in the 1st trade up in the 2nd since this opened for business.

More trades ahead of this year it seems like. That scrambles things up considerably. Or could. Talented as he is, I’d just as soon take a chance elsewhere. They say the best indicator of future medical health is past history. His history, body parts come apart. Last thing we need.

4 fat juicy high picks on Bryce Young alone. Plus DJ Moore and all the picks they spent chasing his replacement. It’s a load. Throwing pick 200 at another one won’t even move the needle.

What I project as possible trouble is the running game falls off with inadequate investment in the OL remaining a strength. We just can not win without a very stout running game. You have a weak running game and then trouble protecting the QB due to predictable situational disadvantages, like everyone knows it is a pass play on third and 8. Then you have all the built in excuses just hanging low on the tree limbs ready to pick. It won’t be Bryce’s fault. It will be, again, the team failed him. Enough of that poo.

It has been a nightmare.

As I have asked before, what do people expect to get from the 3rd guy? He will take targets away from who we have already, most likely. So that is an offset to start with. What will we net? 30 or 40 yards more per game? That is me being generous. Three years of 1sts will get us up to 210-220 ypg? You can put three 4th rounders out there and get over half that. Minimum. we need to 1st round QB not WR.

I expect I’ll be disappointed but if they don’t come out of this with Rodriguez or Golday, I will think they dropped the ball.

I heard Bryce’s dad thinks he’d be a good backup.

If I am at 5 and Styles was there? Bang, that is my pick not yours. Now, at ten with just two or three first found grades still hanging on the rack, you might take something for that. Should be some good offers.

I am talking about draft analysts. 1-1 comparison. And the easier question to answer would be: which analysts did not endorse the worthiness of Young? It was near unanimous.
