Some of you guys are acting like we used a high first rounder on him.

It's the fifth. Don't jump off the edge.

Well we drafted an unathletic safety tweener already, TE with 35 career catches, and now a DE barely big enough to be a LB

some of us are very let down with our picks as a whole

I remember reading a lot of stuff about him that for him to properly work in a 4-3, he would need to add 15-20 pounds so he can keep the edge.  He's working to take the spot that CJ/Peppers was, this kid will be a replacement for Mario Addison.  Measurables fit for both, but weight in muscle is needed for both guys.  Just my opinion though.

he may need to add muscle but at 6'6" 265 he is right in the wheel house...

These guys can develop, it just takes time. Some of the most productive pass rushers recently like Wake and Mathis started out tiny. Essentially redshirt him, get him on a weight program and ease him into the rotation. If he pans out awesome we found our next Addison. If not then fug it, that's to be expected with these crapshoots in the mid to late rounds. His get off is fantastic. Worth the risk

I'm not, just saying our handling of the picks signifies indecision and a lack of direction.  We clearly had a pass rusher as a need, otherwise we wouldn't have felt compelled to trade up for one.  So if it was a need, why not get a guy who is actually semi-built to do it instead of drafting corners who test out at the 2nd percentile to play safety?

Well... he's gotta be better than Kony Ealy.

From his nfl.com scouting profile:

Slender, productive pass rush specialist who features an outstanding upfield burst, but an alarming lack of anchor. 

...

An "alarming lack of anchor" gives me the impression that adding muscle isn't gonna help much.

We just picked another Daeshon Hall, both are great pass rushers, but undersized.  FWIW, I'm ok with this pick, but how Hall looks this season will 100% tell us whether or not we have the training staff to get him bulked up properly without losing his speed.

Also, just saying, I'm very big on Daeshon Hall, I think he's gonna be a huge surprise to a lot of people this year with him having a full season to bulk up.

Hall is ideal size

      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.
