For a WR, 6'4" 220 would be decent size--if you hit the 235 range, I imagine that it costs you speed. I think his speed was an issue. He ran a 4.48 at his pro day. At the combine, he weighed in at 219 (NFL.com). Mike Evans weighed 225 as a rookie and is also 6'4". He ran a 4.53 40. My main and only concern about TMac is between his ears--and it could be nothing. He seems a bit silly, and it seems that he is in celebration mode when I want him to be in "let's get to work" mode. Again, some people are just like that, but when they put the helmet on, they get focused. I want to see that "dawg" before I get overly excited. The pick is growing on me, and if you broaden the scope to consider what was available in free agency and the draft, it makes sense. I don't think we got lesser Edge rushers in the second and third rounds, frankly, than what we could have gotten in the first.

He is a game manager--average. Unless you have a Mahommes or Allen or Burrow--trade your starting qb and draft one. I could pour the money in my defense and OL and draft a promising young QB. Wow.

We have got to have our rookies step up--TMac and Ransom in particular. Princely and Scourton will need to develop quickly, but I do not expect a miracle from either. We still have Wonnum (averages about 8 sacks per season) and Jones. Our CBs need to stay healthy. Expect a run-first, play action pass offense.

Why the hell is XL wearing a tie? Starting to worry me. Nevermind. Just watched it.

They are going to try to make it the Hunter show. We need to welcome him to the NFL.

I am that guy: Preseason should be interesting- 3 games against our former starting QB...We will not know how the Jags are going to use Hunter before we play them....First four games are winnable....TMac gets to go home week 2 to Arizona crowd...Home opener third week in September?...was hoping to get New Orleans early due to QB stuff.....Tampa Bay in Florida is a tough way to end the season if we need a win for some reason.

And I think that is opposite of what this team wants. No guaranteed money--I'd still sign him and give him a shot to beat out the fourth safety (Dont think he will).

Yeah--same with CB and T. When Scott was a Bengal, I thought he was a decent to good player--I didn't think about it much--but I think they gave him a fairly good contract.

The position that still bothers me is OT. Moton's knee means BC or Nijman play RT. (Or Cade Mays--people don't realize this, but he played some T in college, is 6'5" and has over 34 inch arms. Ok, back to safety. I think we are set until camp reveals more.

I think--and this is wild speculation based on their comments and decisions--that a free safety type may not see the field unless they go dime. At which time, I see how a FS could be very valuable.

I sorta hope we go with Moehrig and Ransom--veteran and rookie. I also think they are somewhat high on Richardson. We re-signed Scott to an minimal, non-guaranteed contract for insurance. We have 3 UDFA safeties on the roster. I think THEY THINK we are set.

This is a very unique person. I pull for him.

He sure is getting a lot of love for a sixth rounder. I see the potential. I love our WR room now....Love it. Love it more than a man should. I am waiting for the focus to turn to Ransom--if you consider value and round, I am more excited about Princely and Ransom that I am any other picks. I also like the TE room. They are going to surprise some folks.

When the Pelicans were temporarily owned by the NBA in 2019, they had a 6% chance of winning the lottery. Remarkably, obviously an act of diving intervention, they won the lottery. This increased the value of the Pelicans.

I see it this way--XL was raw. Raw players when drafted who are forced to start immediately are very raw players in the NFL-- How is he helped? TMac will shift the focus of the defense away from XL. XL will be more experienced. He will have an offseason of jugs work. He is a very good athlete. He can only get better. Wallace? Same thing. He will get better with an improved defensive front and the addition of these heat-seeking head hunters at S. I think about the players we will have on defense in 2025 that we did not have in 2024.
