I wouldn't be completely mad about this, the dude is a game changer, and would be a value at 28.  I love TD, especially as someone who's had both ACLs repaired myself, but it's hard to say how long he will be able to play at a high level on that knee.

I wonder how many of yall watched Ohio State football regularly? I have to. My GF is an alumni. I don't remember hearing much about him last season.

 

Don't care for the pick if he's the guy (at least in the first round). I think there's a chance he will drop. He's undersized and would only play sparingly next year for us. I'd rather get a guy who can fill a need. Ohio State doesn't play anybody.

We have 2 needs on offense --WR, T

 

We have 5 needs on defense (some are debatable, but you have to look at the depth and forward to 2015 and consider the cap--Johnson $17m, Davis $9m, Hardy ??? m, etc)  CB, S, OLB, DE, DT (Cole and Edwards gone by 2015).

 

Do not be surprised to see our draft feature 4-5 defensive players

 

I have spoken.

Here's what we know about Shazier:

• He's an explosive blitzer

• One of the best (if not, the best) coverage LBs in the draft

• He's a very good tackler, especially in the open field

• Very athletic (ran a 4.37 at his Pro Day)

• Durable

• His Football IQ and Instincts are above average

 

All qualities we may need soon because 1) Much as I love Thomas Davis, he's not getting any younger and 2) I don't think he has another miracle comeback in him if one of his knees goes again.

 

Think 'successor', not 'replacement'.

- David was undersized.

- Kuechly was from Boston College. They didn't play anybody either.

Shazier will be an awesome pick for us if we can somehow work Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana in to our schedule.

only 2??? we need 2 WRs... a LT and a RT. RG is also a huge question mark. and with one old RB and one who hasnt stayed healthy in two seasons, RB is also a question mark. our D  is leaps and bounds in better shape than the O...

I'm not worried about TD's knees anymore. He's proven that he can play at a high level without issues.

My concern is that he is getting older and really expensive cap wise.

Luke will get a new deal soon and you absolutely cannot have two LB's making over $10MM per year.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
