Heard he might be on the bubble. Worth a look for us if so? Big body 6-5 338, has the tools to be disruptive but hasn't shown the motivation, also shows up over-weight. It looks like his status with the team is contingent on how well Gabe Watson's knee holds up through the pre-season.

No real reliable sources. On the Cards message board they were saying Whiz is tired of him showing up un-motivated and overweight. Not making the transition to 3-4 NT well (could end up being the 3rd NT if they chose to keep 3). Just a thought if he actually doesn't make the 53 make roster.

from the two days ago...

• Nose tackle Bryan Robinson likely locked up the starting job with a strong first-quarter performance that included a sack and a strong pass rush that forced Rivers to hurry a throw.

Given that backup Gabe Watson is expected to make the 53-man roster, could 2007 second-round pick Alan Branch be cut before the opener? The Cardinals have kept Branch in part because he was a high draft choice, but all he’s done in two years is prove he’s not good enough.

We need somebody that can play. Sounds like Whiz thinks he's lazy. A big fat guy that's lazy will be just as effective as Nick Hayden IMO. At least with a guy like Hayden there might be a chance to run down a play. A big lazy fat guy? Not so much. I know because I to, am a BLFG.

I was chosen by the huddle executive branch then ratified, by a 2/3 majority.

but seriously, I am just sick of people saying things with no proof that they just didnt pull it out of their asses.

I wouldn't just pull something out of my ass; I've read some speculation and wanted to post a thread if he's worth a look. Thanks to Razor for posting an actual link.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      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
