KRs in the draft.

We may have a few capable on the roster but without Ginn, it'd be nice to get a strong replacement. Field position meant a ton last year.

That kid from Ohio St is one I can think of and we met with him.

Anyone know how they line up in the draft?

The problem is, I don't think we do have anyone on the roster than can be a KR/PR. Barner might be able to, but he hasn't shown it yet. Underwood returned kicks, but that was like five or so seasons ago. Returner is one of the positions that I'm afraid we screwed ourselves on. Having Ginn with the ability to start us at the 25, 30, or even the 35 really helped our offense. Having someone who can't do that is going to be awful.

I'd say Josh Huff from Oregon will probably be the best of the bunch, and could be had in the 5th or 6th round.

Oh yeah, I should've thought of Huff as well.

Huff and Philly Brown. I wonder which of the DBs are as well. it's a pretty important hole that's barely been discussed this offseason.

That'd be ironic :lol:

 

 

 

In your opinion, how does he stack up vs Kenjon Barner?

 

 

He'd probably have similar rookie hurdles to cross as Barner did (and I don't think has yet).  But I do think he seems to have more of an NFL-variety RB move-set and overall agility to go along with his burst than Barner. Wayy more early-Sproles like.  Wayy more valuable to a team.   

 

...oh and Mr. Iron Bowl winner Chris Davis is another returner.  We've checked him out at his pro-day as well.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
