I'm a little foggy from draft coverage last year, so I'm hoping that someone here can refresh my memory. Which prospect was everyone saying we would draft in the first round last year? I know the guys from the Observer were constantly talking about Benjamin, but I can't remember what the 'experts' were saying.

2013 the main consensus pick was "they're picking a DT".  Sheldon Richardson and Shariff Floyd were popular choices in mocks. In 2014 it was "they're picking a WR" with Brandin Cooks, Marquis Lee, and Benjamin the mock draft choices.  This year it's "they're picking an OT", with DJ Humphries the overwhelming favorite in the mocks.

Man I'm glad we didn't pick Floyd.  I knew he wasn't going to be in the same league as Richardson or Star.  I was always praying for Star but would have been happy with Richardson.  Last year Moses was a popular one, but WR was the consensus position we'd address.

Me too.  I think that we would've nabbed Richardson though.  He was getting more buzz and was obviously up to the task.

 

 

On an off note, that sig brings back some memories.  It seems so long ago now.  I wish that our team had just a little more smidgen of 89's attitude. Kelvin Benjamin has a little stag in him though.

13: Richardson, Eifert, the huddle loved Tavon Austin, a lot liked C. Patterson, including me. Everyone loved Star but most didn't think he'd be there.

14: Lee throughout, Benjamin early, I wanted Verrett, Morgan Moses. Shazier got some love,

You wanted Moses?

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
