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.

Yeah. Swapping those late picks like that is how they get to those one point margins. It is a common and convenient thing. I mean I don’t worry about any of those picks outside the 4th really. Such long shots…

He was asked how he felt about the team moving up to get him. Said his response was he will run through a brick wall for them. I kind of liked that.

I mean, they are his best plays in a highlight reel not a documentary, but his hands are pretty damned good and he has great concentration and also superb balance. I tire of the cookie cutter tall long guy too but I get why they like him.

I could, and can, live with misses. I can’t live with trading future first round picks. My hate for Tepper/Fitterer over the Bryce thing has deep roots and Marty’s bullshit with that is a big part of it.

That’s fair. His top isn’t what the problem really is, it is his very low floor and very high inconsistency from one outing to the next, and even inside the 60 minute game structure.

We are getting into the take a shot zone. I don’t know if I want to even risk a 4th but it is a hell of a lesser penalty if you miss.

Lol, it will be a great deal if he kicks Bryce’s ass because that jersey will be marked way down.

Yeah that desire for a fast deep threat has never made sense with this QB. What’s he gonna do? Run down the field and stop at a designated yard line? If he keeps running that ball will never reach him. Or are we going to have him go 6 yards and make the catch and then leave everyone in the dust?

Fair enough. I said I wanted ILB. For months. Years lol. Hill was not my choice really but I would have been okay with it. I completely disagree that LT was not a need. OT in general. It was what had to be done. So we won’t see eye to eye there.

When in doubt, build up your fronts. Matter of fact, when you are not in doubt…..

Yeah replacing A’Shawn was starting to worry me, I didn’t know how it was gonna get done. This is a decent attempt.

I think Baldinger knows a little about line play.

I had my heart set on one of the ILBs. I don’t usually invest like that. So it is disappointing but better this than a few other options. For me.

He is coming off the bus scary.

Well I know you were also unhappy last night. I guess we’ll see how it works out. Not sure who you wanted still.

That’s funny, because I loved it when he went back to back. Downhill from there though. Slowly but surely.

So, you are not all about the trenches. You wanted what instead?

That is true of everybody’s best defenses. You can’t take short cuts. I am completely behind building inside out and front to back.

I definitely had the thought that our LBs just got a little better with this. Maybe that is Wallace’s hang up, too much traffic to cut through. (I don’t really think that, more being hopeful) Regardless, drawing attention that might otherwise go to a lb is what you want. I’m not worried about some late throwaway pick to get a starter.

Why change now? As far as Butler, another example of maybe avoid small school guys in the first round. They look great against small school guys. That’s about it, usually.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episodes with George Constanza when he was working for the Yankees. Did the opposite of what his instincts told him to do and killed it every time.

I wanted ILB but had DL as my second choice. I don’t know anything about him either, hope he is great. Kris Jenkins was a 2nd rounder for us. I would damn sure take that.

Okay. Front beats backers.
