He ain't betting nothing. His whole story has change since he did the source thing in the other thread. He said his source didn't know who we would be going after. Now all of a sudden he knows it would be Little. To now saying Dillard would be the pick. Everyone knows we are not picking damn Little at 16. I think we are taking a DE, DL or S first pick

In my thread I state multiple times he thinks we are going to take offensive line, and felt it would be Dillard, but w/e believe what you want.

I mean, it was a guess lol, not what I would do.

Did you expect that guy to actually read the first whole sentence in the OP...rofl.

Some people on here you just gotta know not to respond to.

That's the thing, nobody can know for certain where a player will go.  The best you can do is estimate the range of his value and reason out teams that may have interest.  With that you can make connections and projections.

So, I don't get why anyone bitches when a player doesn't get picked by the specific team in the exact slot he was mocked to...it's just impossible to know before hand.  And that doesn't even take into account the hidden info we fans and even high profile evaluators at places such as NFL.com don't have access to.  For instance, there are often medical or other red flags that may cause a player to drop out of his value range, or he may have interviewed poorly and left a sour taste in the mouth of the team...neither of which anyone outside of the team building will know about.

Personally, I just like mocks to give me an idea where a players range lies (even though it's based on limited info), and appreciate those who make them.

Things I have been told/reading in between the lines, here is what I have come up with my best GUESS

16: 
Greg Little, T, OLE Miss or Andre Dillard, T, WASST
(Other options: Cody Ford, Brian Burns, Garret Bradbury, Clemson DT)
Make no mistake, if Andre Dillard is here, he will be the pick, it seems less and less likely that it will happen that way. Little has all the talent of a of a Laremy Tunsil, just truly needs to work on technique to be a high level starter on the left side. This draft has a clear emphasis on not letting an injury on the oline derail our season, and if a high level tackle is here (Dillard, Little, Ford), we will pursue them. (Obviously, I don't think Sweat will be here)
 

 

47: 
Christian Miller, OLB, ALA 
(Other options: Nasir Adderly, Darnell Savage, Bobby Evans, Zach Allen, Dalton Risner)
If we don't get o-line in the first, I would expect Bobby Evans here. Miller fits the mold we need off the edge, and has a very high ceiling for a pass rusher. I don't buy the noise of a QB here. 

77: 
Will Grier, QB, WV
(Other options: Tytus Howard, Deebo Samuel)
It's clear we want to upgrade the backup QB position and make him sort of an insurance policy for Cam Newton's shoulder. Tyree Jackson or Clayton Thorton make sense in later round if we don't get Grier here. 

100: 
Miles Sanders, RB, PENN
Versatile RB that fits in the sort of bigger receiving back we are looking for. }

115: 
Phil Haynes, G, WF 
Excellent run blocking guard that swallows defenders whole. Solidify the offensive line even more. 

154: 
Blace Brown, CB, TROY 
Awesome zone corner that was slowed down due to injury, fits our scheme really well. 

187: 
CJ Conrad, TE, KEN
Have a need to fill at tight end with Olsen getting older, Conrad provides a developmental option who brings an edge in run blocking. 


 

Well done Verge. Later rounds are a crap shoot.  Can’t wait for next year.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
