They did have the ball with a chance for OT. It was brutal.

Morgan seems to get it. Let’s hope he can stand his ground against the finesse football people.

Give me someone up front, either side of the ball, over WR. Or TE. At 19.

She is like one of those girls that can be your buddy too. Goes anywhere, fits with your guy friends and your sports obsession. I had that once. Which be careful about that. And I used to want a girl who loved to fish, until I realized I got no more alone time in the boat which is a great benefit to having one. Space. She is pretty cool though and seems like she has a thing for Luke.

Yes he is. That is really why they moved up to get him. IMO.

I think the best thing that could happen for us this year would be for Pickett to have to play and do better than Bryce. Maybe that would give them the cover to upgrade the position.

We saw the truth in the third game of his rookie year when Reich started Dalton vs Seattle. The offense had looked horrible the first two weeks and Andy made it look like an NFL game. Right out of the gate.

I keep saying it and no one agrees I guess, but a excellent pass catching running back would be a better place to spend those targets than a TE.

When they say they are building it around what he does well, they are basically saying they are limiting the playbook.

My thing is why does it have to be round one? I really don’t mind taking a receiver later, I understand the need. And the recent salary explosion for WRs make it a matter of practicality as much as an overindulgement of a midget QB. A little easier to stomach. I have bitched for years about the defense being shorted but I saw the reasoning last year with Tet, he was not a forced pick. Defense would have been. So no complaints or rants were made. But enough is enough. Get a receiver somewhere else besides 19, there will be a number of guys that can help us there as much as a WR. I mean, do people think a rookie WR is gonna come out and light it up with Bryce throwing to them in this offense? It took him 6 games to throw Tet a TD pass, in case people forgot. If we had a better QB he could have run away with OROY.

Lol or those fat ones on the internet saying they deserve a billionaire and won’t settle for less. Canales irritated me in the recent interview that was posted by saying we are good now. A good team. A winning team. All it takes is an 8-10 record and he is saying poo like that? I don’t like it. Stay humble.

What are people gonna say about their starting QB, that isn’t positive? In public. These things, they know the players are gonna see it. Here is the way I think it is behind the scenes: every effort is made to help Young succeed. That is what they would, ostensibly, do for any QB. He has shown some high ability, but has shown way too much inconsistency. Too much poor play. He has to raise his floor to the level that you gonna get good Bryce 90% of the time. Not 35-40% (if that), which does not cut it. If he can’t deliver they will make a hard decision.

Yeah I corrected myself. I think the conservative bird in the hand strategy works for me. The WRs getting 40 mil contracts is a big influence on that. We have a proven guy, just leave it be. My answer on the part I misunderstood was about the same - only if QB is in play. Which Cam Ward is what he is, I rate Mendoza above him. And Bryce.

I think I misunderstood and interpreted it as basically a redraft of 2025. There might be a couple of guys talent wise this year, but we now know Tet as a proven commodity at a blue chip position that is commanding huge salaries.

He seems to be a home run at 8, tough to find anyone I would definitely swap him for. 1st, I haven’t watched the other players much at all, and watched Tet for the whole season here. I still think we need a QB though. If this were a realistic scenario I would sure be watching a lot of video of Cam Ward.

Lord knows, please no. Trading up to 10 would fug us so bad. 51 alone wouldn’t do it. trade chart 10 = 1300 19 = 875 51 = 390 35 points short. You’d have to toss in one of the 5ths and maybe even the 200th pick to get the numbers lined up. We would be about 4 points to the good with 159 (27.8) and 200 (11). I wouldn’t even consider doing that for anything other than a QB or a bona fide franchise LT. Personally.

At the same time there were comments about Bryce isn’t getting that extension unless he proves he can be good all the time. He is not consistent. Or has yet to show he can be. Paraphrasing, but it goes to what I and a lot of us have been saying. That floor has to come up, can’t have crap like Arizona and Miami and New Orleans and SF the Jets and 54 passing yards for an entire game, and the low 1st half numbers be the norm. Again. It is just a repackaging, if even that, of what we know they have been doing all along. Giving him every chance to succeed. Sigh…. I hope they don’t spend yet another first round pick on a receiver. I am fine with drafting a WR but damn, gotta have some limits.

Typically they are very familiar with a small number of teams and the rest they really don’t know. Then it suffers. I haven’t looked at Hunt’s contract but I feel like we would really be penalized if we cut ties this year. Next year it’s maybe not so painful.

Well we don’t need to take a tackle at 19 just because he is a tackle. Which some of these might be. It is maybe better to trade back if that is the mindset. If the right player is there though I say do it.

Did I read that right? Nary an OT or ILB on the list. GTFO

I have no expertise, but that won’t stop me from pretending I have insight. I always wondered if the first surgery was done correctly or in the best way, and maybe the repair failed because it was just destined to fail. It lets me think that if it is done right he can get back to the level expected at draft time. It is more hope than anything.

I would stay away from Proctor too, and I want an OT. Too much uncertainty to take him in the 1st round for me.

Forward this poo to Bryce.

I am also in the camp of I could care less about the current refs serving the NFL. I think they do a poor job overall. I’ll leave it at that.

There are a handful of similarly rated players bunched around our pick. We need someone to fall to us that would stand out from that crowd to get some trade interest. I can’t think of a player tha might reasonably fall to us that I feel like we have to have. I am just out on picking a TE or WR in the 1st round over a trade back that gets us one of those bunched together players a few picks later and also allows us to move up for the seemingly inevitable run on ILBs in the top 1/3of the 2nd.
