I have seen a couple of mocks having us pick him up and wanted your thoughts on him. He showed he can run, (4.42 40) is good at jaming and run support but sometimes is late to react and tries to predict the QB and that gets him in trouble some times. from what I heard could be really good if he is in the right system. Anyone who watches college or likes to look at draft talent have opinion they'd like to share?

Not my favorite, but he fits the modern NFL CB prototype which Gettleman seems to love so I can definitely see it happening. Needs a fair bit of coaching.

What are your concerns? Honestly, I'm just interested in your opinion.

Based on the breakdowns I watched I'm not interested in him at all.  He is scared shitless of tackling.  He literally steps to the side of ball carriers and tries to arm tackle from the side.  His coverage skills are ok, but is one of the softest CBs I've ever seen when it comes to trying to tackle.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
