We have to start winning, no excuses. I wouldn't slot us in at 11-6, but that would borderline be amazing considering our record in conjunction with the inconsistency, blowout losses and the way that we played the last month of the season. There was way too much Jekyll and Hyde last season to make me believe that the supposed "stability" isn't built on anything but sand. I'll be extremely happy to be wrong.

And we have a tough schedule, so I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Well, I wouldn't expect Luke Kuechly to be negative. I'll begin to buy the positivity when I see the results of free agency and the draft, but I won't actually buy in until I see steady improvement from a win-loss perspective during the 2026 season. Bryce Young and coaching on both sides of the ball will play a huge part in regards to that bottom line.

I agree. The "problem" is that we'll never know exactly what the formula is. There is undoubtedly a "need" component in the calculus, but I seriously doubt that elite teams are in the business of drafting needs at the expense of drafting generational guys, or even guys they suspect will be good or solid players for years to come. And, as you suggested, "fit" plays a big part of that calculus as well. At this point, there are several positions that we could justify using day one and two picks on. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with. Moreover, the plan is always to use FA to set up the draft, so that one doesn't feel compelled to do something stupid based upon needs.

BPA. BPA. BPA. I don't care what position it is. I know some don't agree, but that's life.

This is probably the best analysis of the situation. Sometimes in life, there is no right or wrong. Sometimes life just be lifing, and if you don't have the vision, maturity, or wherewithal to see the big picture, it doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. In my opinion, instead of being on the attack as fans, we should be glad that they were able to meet on common ground and communicate as brothers and fellow human beings. At the end of the day, the football of it all is not really what's important here.

I am open to a guy that can play on the outside, not just a slot guy, as both Coker and McMillan can be deadly in the slot as well as highly effective on the outside.

He's definitelyore talented at throwing picks, and that's saying something.

I can't see us trading up, and I don't want to see it. I can't see any metrics that would support us trading up without losing too much value, so discipline will be the order of the day.

It's that time of year, dude.

Legette blocks with lots of effort.

Didn't even hear about it until now.

Like Spags. If Evero gets the job, then hopefully we would consider interviewing Brendan Daly.

Not quite. The 6'0" thing was an exaggeration (a lie, basically) by the college. The 204 thing was Bryce's true weight at the NFL Combine, but obviously pounds out on by Bryce for the weigh-in (akin to what boxers do at their weigh-ins the day before a fight). Pavia may have done the same thing with his weight, but height can't be faked at the Combine.
