Moving up to draft a kicker in the second round.  That was a humdinger!

Indeed.

That could become infamous, like the Jags drafting their punter (the guy they just released so they could sign Nortman) in the 3rd ahead of a bunch of guys like Russell Wilson.

It's going to become a meme.  "Yeah, strange pick, bad draft, but at least we didn't trade up in the 2nd to pick a kicker"

I hope someone will keep a record of all the studs that emerge that Tampa could have picked instead!

As we've learned from our picks, who cares about where players go? Just because drafttalkguyz.com says that a player shouldn't go in the top whatever doesn't mean that that player shouldn't. Teams are so complex, no one on the outside has any idea on what each team is doing.

the browns drafting 5 WR's

Don't know that they had much choice. Their top 2 WRs were Andrews Hawkins who is 5'7" and 30 years old and Brian Hartline who honestly just sucks. When you've got 14 picks and no one at the position you can afford to throw a wide net hoping a few of them stick. It's pretty similar to what we did at CB.

I've got several-

1st- Germain Ifedi OT- Hard to believe the Hawks took him ahead of Spriggs. He's a project.
2nd- Christian Hackenberg QB- I'd bet big money he'll be a big bust. Certainly not worth a 2nd round pick.
4th- Willie Beavers OT - Sucked in his senior year and at the Senior Bowl.

      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.
