i'm torn on him. i want to feel good about him, but the drop that has happened for him seems justified. there's a good others that i want before him just because i feel better about what they bring.

i've been trying to mock us at least one IDL/DT and 2 OL in addition to an OC. There's some pretty decent talent at both. those are just two areas we need to be hitting every year.

their legacy of suck and bad luck goes back much longer than ours. we might be the newer kids on that block, but they've been living there for decades.

he's (hate using this word) deceptively fast. if you get someone on his tail, he takes off. he's going to out jump, out muscle, and out run most DBs. and some of the poo rattler was throwing to him was russel wilson caliber "just launch it somewhere" passes that he somehow managed to grab and pull down. he's a real threat to catch the ball and a threat with the ball.

i've got a feeling that teams are a lot higher on leggette than most draftniks are. brett kollman is saying that he could be a late 1st rounder after what he showed in only one year of actual opportunity. he's seen as someone with a poo ton of potential who isn't as rough a project as a lot of people assume. lots of potential, highly coachable, demonstrated a lot of growth quickly. not seen as a one year wonder.

it's a really crazy good class, though. like there's two tiers of WRs...4-5 in first tier (that could be gone in the first dozen picks) and then maybe 10 in the second and all of them could be gone by the middle of the 2nd round. the class is that good and WR is such a premium that teams may not want to wait around for their "appropriate" ranking according to them draftniks. if there's a run at the end of the first round (which is highly likely will be) it could be that if we're wanting to get 2 WRs from this class (which we should) then we probably will need to use 33 and 39 on WRs. it's going to piss a lot of people off who live by draftnik rankings that teams pick up so and so too early (like when we wind up having to take Leggette at 33 because we'll be lucky to have him make it out of the 1st if we want him). But you can't account for runs that happen. Teams see that poo and react. but basically, these guys that we are talking about who are second round picks very well could be late first round picks...so we kind of need to talk about them as such. i don't think it's going to be very balanced draft at all (not that it every completely is). lots of runs at several positions. no one is going to be able to have the luxury of saying "oh we'll target this position in __ round" or that guy in the ___ round". plans going into the draft are going to fall apart quickly.

I stopped watching in October. I don't think I made it even that long tbh.

Agreed. The thing is, much of what he does comes naturally to him. He's criminally underdeveloped and it's not his fault that is the case. Little insight into why he is such a work in progress. The guy is raw, but is growing in leaps and bounds, literally and figuratively. What will be drafted is going to be the launching pad for a huge career...imo anyways.

Definitely over the other Xavier. Not sure I'd take Leggette over AD. AD is a master of DB manipulation. I think I'd Mitchell and Mcconkey over Leggette. I've got Leggette on the same level as Pearsall. Maybe a little higher depending on my mood. No matter who we get, I wouldn't be happy with us just taking one. No way I'd be happy taking Leggette without having another top 15-20 WR with him. You bundle him with at the very least Burton and I'm down. All that said I really like him and think he's going to be really good.

Lol Too much?

That's the archetype. Guys who can get open/get to the ball and catch it.

In my mocks I keep coming back to some 2Wr combo between Mcconkey, Pearsall, and Burton. Javon Baker creeps in there as well as a later round pick even though he shouldn't. But I think, at the moment anyways, those first three give Bryce the most reliable targets.

He's just a relentless bully. I like him.

One of my favorites. Guy just runs angry and he's got a pop in him. Doesn't shy from contact, he instigates it.

He's on the stage he needs to be on.

Is it worth watching if you aren't just desperate for anything that resembles football? I had to watch enough bad football last year.

I've been trying to stay balanced between offense and defense, but would we be ok with this?

Also, if you listen to Clowneys presser he said he was talking to Gilmore about coming down here and Clowney said Gilmore is trying to get them to bring him home....so there's that

Ehhh...silence is just silence. I wouldn't put too much into it one way or the other. I'm sure he wouldn't mind coming back home to possibly finish out his career. I'm sure he's also talking to Clowney, to see what he saw here and some other older guys about what they see with this new staff. Morgan is probably reaching out as well. Biggest thing is the money will have to be enough to justify it. We've got a little left. I'm sure we could scrape enough together. Also, I'm not really seeing much in the way of suitors. I'm sure there are talks with other teams, but I think we're making the biggest push.

So am I. That said I don't think we're going to have an issue keeping Brown. And.....we wouldn't be drafting him in round 1 either.

Yeah, they have the tiniest of windows here. And they're still the jets. Things dont go well for them.

I can't imagine him wanting to take it easy with his family there either. Could mean he's going to ball out to impress them all. Home town means you play with a bit more pride and purpose.

I think one thing I really like about Sweat is he gives us an option if things don't work out with keeping Brown.

Ok, the more I think about this one the more I like it. I like what it adds to the defense. Make that defensive front even more dominant and a good corner who can hang with any WR in this draft. We also get a center prospect with some upside, we get a good versatile RB (there were about 4 good choices there) and we get a reliable receiver, a big play receiver, and a do it all receiver.
