Of those, Solomon Thomas all the way followed by Howard/Adams, then Fournette, and then the rest.

No real method to my selections other than what I think would help the most this year while also making sense going forward.

Barnett gives us the best pure pass rusher in the draft and nonstop motor at a premium position.

Fournette gives a freakish talent and shake in boots fear to the other 31.

Ecstatic with either.

Mild to extreme disappointment with anyone else.

You'd be disappointed with Thomas or Adams? Hell, behind Fournette, those would be the next two names I'd want. I'd be ecstatic with Fournette. I'd be very happy with Thomas or Adams. I'd be okay with Howard, Barnette, or McCaffrey.

We have like the same brain currently.

If they are all on the board? Adams is now my #2 guy overall, so if all are on the board, we have to draft him.

If he's off, and Thomas and Fournette are there, then we have to go with Thomas, as he is now my #3.

I've always been a Fournette guy, but if I am sticking with my board, and Adams and Thomas are there, then they are both now rated higher than Leonard. RB is deep. DE isn't, and Adams is in a class of his own at Safety, and elite.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
