Harper next Please!


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

Why in the fuging world did we sign him for over $2m/year for 5 years? (I thought it was 2 years but just checked and it's supposedly 5 unless that's a mistake) Should've been vet min. for 1 year.

 

Harper's contract was two years, 4.5 million total, not per year.

highly doubt if DG ever considered Harper more than a temporary band-aid.  He's not a mistake, he was the only thing available in our price range.

 

Harper is the kind of smart, veteran safety that could feast off quarterback mistakes behind a high pressure defensive line.  That's why both he and Thomas DeCoud were signed.

 

Unfortunately, we stopped having a high pressure defensive line, and now their lack of athleticism is an issue.

He had a good Dline who got a lot of pressure last year.

And still was the worst safety in the league.

I really don't think we're as bad on the D line as people are thinking. Against good quick release QBs our backfield can't cover that extra second or 2. You can't expect lineman to break through every couple plays and get pressure as fast as a QBs 3 step drop. The pressure isn't there anymore because receivers are open faster this year. I've broken down all the games. That's what I'm seeing. Munnerlyn had good speed and awareness. He lacked height. Mike Mitchell had great closing speed and had great angles to make hard tackles. IMO losing even just those 2 has cost us more than losing Greg Hardy.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
