  1. Evidently Burrow is banging the table for Chase too. Can't discount that. I absolutely think they'll use their 1st rounder to build around Burrow. Very possible they stick with their current OTs and then focus on their IOL later in the draft.
  2. It's also prime lying season. I'm not saying those reports are true or false, but I've definitely learned to take this type of stuff with a grain of salt in the weeks leading up to draft day.
  3. I was specifically talking about Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, and Jones. If Goff can go #1 then so could Jones.
  4. The 4th or 5th QB taken doesn't necessarily mean he was the 4th or 5th QB on our draft board. You also can't look at things solely in terms of this draft class. There are 3-4 QBs in this draft who would be in #1 overall pick discussions in most draft classes.
  5. I would say that UGA would've competed for a national championship the last two years with Fields, but damn... LSU and Bama were just absolute buzzsaws. They would've absolutely been in the mix practically any other years.
  6. I don't remember any talk of Fromm that involved anything more than a mid-round pick.
  7. If the right QB isn't there at #8 then that would be the right move IMO. Trade down a bit to pick up draft assets next year, then draft a Mond or Mills later. If he doesn't work out (honestly likely) it's no big deal and you swing again next year.
  8. If there's one of the big QBs there and we don't want him then we absolutely need to be fielding trade offers. An elite LT with our current roster = zero added wins. Stack draft assets if we aren't drafting a QB.
  9. Beating out more talented QBs at the college level doesn't necessarily translate to the NFL level. Everyone seemingly has a man crush on Orlovsky as a QB evaluator, but he's also the reason why Joe Flacco ended up at Delaware. How'd the NFL careers (and draft status) of those two go?
  10. If he's innocent as he claims and is willing to wade through the fire to clear his name, then this is for the best for him. But if he's not... well, he might be the one giving the "massages" soon.
  11. We very well might draft the guy they wanted at #7 (or trade down with someone who will) at #8 if they made that deal.
  12. It's very possible and honestly quite likely that we have one ranked significantly above the other as prospects. I'm torn on which way I'd go there, but I'm leaning hard toward Fields. Tough as a fan to make a call there though because so much of that evaluation comes from the interviews with the players and their coaches to determine how well they're going to translate to the NFL.
  13. The difference with us is that they'd be able to pick up an additional pick and still get the same player they would've gotten at #7. They'd be gaining something while giving up nothing. With other teams' offers they would get more trade compensation but they very well may be giving up the player they wanted at #7 too.
  14. If the Lions wanted Lance in that situation they'd pick him. Trading up one spot would be about not letting the Broncos or WFT leap frog us to get him.
  15. I want a lot of things I ain't gonna get.
  16. All of that plus their overall D was #9 in the country and #1 in the SEC.
  17. WFT or Broncos would be the two biggest contenders to make a move like that IMO.
  18. TAMU got carried by their defense. They ran a ball control offense. Whether that was due to Mond's limitations or coaching philosophy I don't know. Early in the year I was intrigued by his physical tools, but the more I watched the more inconsistencies I saw.
  19. I'll be ready for this conversation if QB doesn't work out in the 1st. Once we're talking about these guys, we're well into the "Oh fug, this is NOT going well" section of the QB shopping list.
  20. Just based on what Rhule and Tepper have said about what they're looking for in their next QB, I can't see them being high on Jones. They got an up close and personal look at a smart, accurate, but physically limited QB last season. They want a physical stud.
  21. They have the #4 overall pick. They're gonna end up with a great prospect. I'd much rather they use that pick on a TE than a far more premium position.
  22. Tannehill was WAY better in Miami than Darnold has been in NY though. Tannehill just looked like he was gonna be stuck in that middle of the road tier starter category and Miami wanted to try to do better than that. Tannehill ended up in a much better situation and took a significant step forward. A significant step forward for Darnold would be getting to that middle of the road tier.
  23. Sure. It's the big four and the downfall of Kyle Shanahan.
  24. A corner good in run support... that's like immediately talking about a WR's blocking. A subtle way of hinting that he sucks at his primary job.
