I clustered these by position for better understanding.  Thank me  when you get the time.

Here is my theory.  Private workouts show the most interest--or curiosity.  I could not help but notice how closely we are looking at CB--4 private workouts.  Looking at these numbers, you could argue the following (by the way, the projected rounds drafted are estimates based on the sites I read--you may have different opinions)-

1. We ARE drafting a CB early.

2. We ARE drafting a S early.

3. We want to draft a WR early, but we may be hoping someone drops to the third--or if a S is not there in the second...

4.RB will be chosen in the third round, but maybe we trade up on day 3.

5. We probably should be more concerned about TE than this indicates.

6.  Anybody get the feeling that we are drafting Tony Adams in the 5th round to be the next C?

7.  If there is a surprise pick/position, I say it is DE--Chad Thomas.

Offensive Line (4, 2 private workouts)

  • Tony Adams, C, N.C. State (WOR) probably drafted between rounds 5-7

Great site.

Initial thoughts: 

WR - early, maybe round 1

RB - second round

Guard - middle to later part of the draft

CB - rounds 1or 2

DE - one of our thirds

Damn that’s an awesome site. I was just looking a Walter. This guy does a great job!  And my super sleeper is on there.  I will post about that on another thread.

Much better---Now, after studying this for a few tense minutes, here is what I take away from this:

We are looking at later round QBs---White from  W Ky is the target--5th round maybe.  No Tony Pike.

I was interested to see Brandon Parker (NC A&T) was in for a local visit.  I really like him and think he will develop into a starting LT.  He has a fifth round grade right now.

I didn’t even realize it but we grabbed Dorian Johnson G Pitt. He was a 4th rounder last year with 2/3 round grades before the draft. Not sure why he got released by Arizona but not a bad chance to take. Doesn’t have anything to do with this thread but I noticed him on the roster while checking out the visits. 

Yes he passed under the radar as a pickup and nobody mentioned him in the LG conversation. His knock is a heart condition. We are his third NFL team and despite his drafting he didn’t make the AZ 53 in his rookie season. It would be an amazing pickup if we can get anything out of him.

I think Street can be ruled out- even as UFA-he will be out for most of the season. Too bad I hope we give him a chance in camp next year.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
