Pats are gonna hire Vrabel like everyone's been saying lately. I find it interesting that their first two hc hires after Bellichick were two former players from their dynasty Era.

Something I've also noticed is we rarely have drafts where we get more than 2 players that are any good. That's why I like the 2021 class so much and possibly this years class if Legette gets his poo together and brooks stays healthy his last 2 years of his contract. But I think you can say Legette, Sanders, Wallace, Smith Wade, and Coker are all at least solid contributors. That's 5 players vs our usual 2 or 2 players from most drafts. Technically 6 because we traded Barret for Mike Jackson.

Something significant I have noticed analyzing recent draft history is, we have drafted offense with the first two picks of the draft for 3 years in a row!!! Probably a big factor in our defense being so ass lately. We simply have not been investing into the defense high in the draft for multiple years.

Do you agree with this evaluation of the 2024 draft class? My personal grades would be 1) XL (C) 2) Brooks (D-) 3) Trevin Wallace (B) 4) JaTavion Sanders (B) 5) Chau Smith Wade (C+) 6) Jayden Crumedy (INC) 7) Michael Barret (** Technically INC but I say B because he was traded for Mike Jackson who became a solid #2 CB) UDFA) Jalen Coker (A) I think I'd give the whole draft a C+ or B- . Early to judge but we definitely saw some promising things from Coker Sanders, and Legette to a degree. Wallace and Wade were solid enough. Alot of this draft is gonna take some time to really judge because of brooks' injury and legette having major dropsies issues in s1. Favorite player from this class is Coker. Also looking back at some drafts of previous seasons. 2023: 1) Bryce 2) Mingo 3) DJ Johnson 4) Zavala 5) Jammie Robinson With bryces recent resurgence, this draft moved from a solid F to a C imo. Zavala improved this year as well. Mingo and Robinson are already gone. DJ Johnson has been underwhelming considering we traded up for him in R3. 2022: 1) Ickey 3) Matt Corral 4) Brandon Smith 6) Amare Barno 6) Cade Mays 7) Kalon Barnes Ickey definitely rebounded this year but hes still had some questionable lapses in pass pro at times. Only other player here worth a damn was Cade Mays who evolced into a solid center or backup on the oline. Id say C- for this one, definitely not great but at least we got a serviceable LT and depth at OL. 2021: 1) Horn 2) TMJ 3) Brady Christensen 3) Tommy Tremble 4)Chubba 5) Davion Nixon 5) Keith Taylor 6) Diontae Brown 6) Shi Smith 6) Thomas Fletcher 7) Phil Hoskins This may be the best draft we've had in the past 4 years. Horn is a great corner and finally played a healthy season. We got solid players lime Tremble and BC. And the rock star of this draft is Chubba Hubbard who basically became the soul of our team. If TMJ worked out this class woudlve been a slam dunk. But for now I'll give it B+ . Horn and Chubba really elevate this class to be the best I've seen since the 2017 (Cmac and Moton) or 2013 (Star and Short) classes

Trading down from 8 in a draft without premium offensive talent is going to be difficult imo. We traditionally don't move from 8 and stick and pick, ala Horn (8), Brown (7), CMC (8), Kuechly (9)

I'd imagine any of those playoff teams in the late 1st would be very interested. It's not going to be like last year when you had McConkey, Pearsall, Legette, Worthy, AD Mitchell, and K. Coleman lurking around near the end of the round at WR, not alot of great wrs in this class. Last year was an anomaly in how much offense went off the board in R1. And that was after BTJ, Neighbors, Odunze, and Harrison JR had already been picked. This class is just weak at QB and WR where last year was much stronger. This class is more about defenders and RBs vs qbs and wrs

Long gone by the time we get to our pick from the Rams late in R2. You better hope they lose in the wild card round lol

Best comment ive seen from Texas fan so far talking about Ewers: "He took the NIL cash and had some buckeyes drug across his face. Big nuts."

pretty much he was a late round flyer. After than insane game he had against Texas, with that much publicity and almost single handedly beating a team with far superior talent by himself?? pfffft. He's probably going R3 at the latest now. Unless he runs a glacial 40 time at the combine.

Tuimoloau and Sawyer are really solid edge rushers man. Judkins and Henderson are good RBs too. Egbuka and Jeramiah Smith at WR. Steady QB with Will Howard. Ohio State is just loaded with talent everywhere man!! The maybe only X Factor that Notre Dame might have is their QB is really good at running the ball. I think Penn State forced him to throw two picks.

I still think that Cam Skattebo has had his stock rise the most out of the CFP so far.

I think Sawyer was projected as a 2nd rounder, if he has a good combine now he might go in the 1st now. We got no shot at getting him in late R2 lol. He's probably a 4-3 DE anyway.

who is the next Alabama QB?

And then Ewers follows his fumble 6 up with an INT on the next drive. Man he is COOKED. He better go back to school!!

I got the feeling that Alabama fans we're absolutely ready to move on from Milroe and same with Texas fans from Ewers.

If you're Quinn Ewers, you can't be that oblivious in that obvious do or die passing situation against Ohio States edge rushers. You have to at least get the ball off to give someone a chance to catch it !! lol That's also how people are gonna remember Ewers lol I don't know if hes transferring or going to the draft

Sawyers draft stock just SKYROCKETED from that play. That was a beautiful thing to see.

Jack Sawyer just made the play of the whole CFP so far. He caused a fumble when Texas had a chance to tie the game with a TD late in the 4th on 4th down and goal. WOW. CAPTAIN JACK.

Bad high throw by Ewers

Jaylon Walker would fit the 3-4 more. yup. Especially now we know we're keeping Evero and likely keeping the same scheme or something similar since Canales is up there preaching about continuity. We're very likely to miss out on Abdul Carter all the way down at 8, so Walker would be my next pass rusher of choice. Over guys like Mykel Williams and Nick Scourton which look more like 4-3 dudes.

sorry i meant Miami, i said Florida xD Would Arch Manning really come out just after 1 year of starting ?? He might technically be a Junior that year but only 1 year starting is interesting. Although Arch got to play against some cupcakes earlier this year.

Texas defense is SWARMING Ohio State!!

yea his accuracy was off the entire game even early on. Its possible that he just isn't a good QB even though he has the good height /weight. I'm not going to totally write him off because he's going back to school. And I just heard Carson Beck went back and transferred to Florida lol. Then Ewers I think said he's going back to school?? Nussmier went back. The 2026 QB draft class is going to be pretty damn interesting. Then Arch Manning is going to come out in 2027 draft probably. Id be surprised if he came out after only 1 year starting in 2025 season.

Texas ties the game 14 - 14 late in the 3rd quarter!! I'm still upset PSU lost. Dumb ass Drew Allar threw the game away with that INT late in the 4th. They could've literally just let Tyler Warren or one of the running backs run the option until they kicked a field goal to win with time expiring. I'm not a PSU fan. If anything I may have been a Colorado fan the past 2 years lol. The team I want to win now is probably Texas.

Alot of fans won't accept this at all its hard to even get this sort of point out of your mouth without immediately being called a hater and fake fan lol And don't get me started on all the fans who vehemently said you can't compare stroud and Bryce in 2023 because their situations were too different. And now those same fans can not get cj out of their mouth and keep posting that Bryce has better stats than cj for the last half of this year while ignoring cjs rookie year and the Stat comparisons of their whole careers instead of that one time period where Bryce has been doing well lately
