There's someone who REALLY smells like the pick to me...

(Edit/Disclaimer: This has NOTHING to do with the school he's coming from, the state of South Carolina, or being anti-Clemson.  Nothing. I don't care about your alma maters or whatever the issue is)

You smell what I'm smelling? 

A fine Tuesday mid-day breeze

On a rooftop in the American midwest 

As you gaze upon the skyline, a most glorious sense of awesome

A man emerges, who should most definitely blossom...

There is a certain player that if you take a step back and take a big whiff, smells like the guy I can totally see us gravitating towards at #7.  And honestly, I think this gentleman maybe one we could all get on board with:

JAVON KINLAW

South Carolina Defensive Tackle 6'5 315 lbs

Behemoth of a man but an athletic, powerful force. 

Quote

"If God was going to make a defensive lineman, it's this guy," McShay said back in early February after watching Kinlaw practice at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. "It took 48 hours for him to just show every NFL GM, every NFL head coach, 'I'm the guy.' Someone was smart enough, probably his agent, to say, 'You did a good enough job, bud. You can leave the Senior Bowl.' He was done in 48 hours and he made probably 12 to 15 million dollars."

Now he got his knees a bit worn at the Senior Bowl and he's being extra careful with not participating in combine drills (smart in my opinion):

I think Young, Derrick Brown, & Okudah seem primed to go high but man, I'd choose this guy over Herbert, Simmons, some of these OTs.  Maybe even Brown depending on how you look at building a D-line.  Adding him to a DL could be lethal and if you look at the 49ers recent model, could make sense in building this team from the lines out.  There's plenty of 2-4th round offensive lineman in this draft but the top-2 in this DT class are special in my view. 

Maybe it's because of being a Tuesday, but Kinlaw smells like the guy.  Smells as good as Rihanna.

Kinlaw is good but I'd have a hard time buying that as the best choice.

I'd take him in the event these five are gone in the top-6:

1. Burrow CIN

2. Young WAS

3. Tua MIA (trade)

4. Brown NYG 

5. Okudah DET (trade)

6. ?? LAC

I  think the question is if you prefer him over the Tackles, Simmons, and the top WRs.  I can also see the Brown v. Kinlaw convo having some merit.

He is a little different than Brown but it is a flavor call.  Kinlaw has amazing traits and moves a little better than Brown.  Brown is just silly strong and bullies OL.  Both are really good.  Love how Kinlaw played his best games against elite comp.

Okudah only interests me if they let JB walk. If they keep him drafting Okudah would be a waste IMO.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
