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.

Lol Falcons, I bet Pierce was half their grade. And no pick this year, heh.

It will be pretty hard to equal the impact in the broad sense of immediate returns across the board, of last season. The higher the floor sits, the tougher it is to raise it. So in a sense last year was a lot easier than this year. We still have a few spots that are low hanging fruit. I have looked at these WRs a little bit. If we can’t get the USC kid, what is the point of 1st round WR? They either don’t really have the hands, or they are just carbon of what we already have, I don’t see the attraction. It seems to me that a lot of the BPA people are all over WR, which I believe they see as a need. It is basically incognito need drafting unless you really get a big time guy.

What’s the context? That we better not let Bryce go because he will be a backup somewhere for a year and then go play .800 ball for two different teams? People can’t look at the two players and see a difference?

That’s pretty weak. How many analysts endorsed Bryce Young? Almost all. Yeah I am gonna use them to back up my opinion.

Bringing a pen knife to a sword fight. Haven’t we had enough of that poo for the last three years?

Yeah it was good. Bogged down towards the end but a lot of finer points of the process were covered in a way that we don’t see enough of.

That isn’t wrong about Evero and rookies. But he will play them. Played Scourton. I think if there is no one to keep you down, you’ll probably play. If he has a vet to use, it is much harder to move up.

I am all about drafting OL. That swing guy is the 6th OL. I am a little worried that Dan is losing sight of what makes this team go. The OL and the ground game are what made us relevant. And give that little QB a chance, I don’t see how he has one without them.
