CMC....I think we have forgotten just how good this guy is

I think if the question were who is our best player, he'd be the most common answer (and it'd be correct).

Favorite player is a little different though. Each person can have a separate rationale.

I was implying you'd left him out of your list of lunch-pail guys.

He just didn't pop in my head.

While it may be unpopular maybe a part of me feels like the others never quit on us the organization quit on them often after their bodies failed them.

Luke was a different story. He has all the right in the world to retire but me personally I would trade 15 years off my life to have played 1 snap in the NFL. While I don't logically have an issue with his decision maybe I have an emotional one?

Idk. I endorsed the decision from the moment it was announced and it didn't surprise me, either.

What did he have to prove? Pro Football Reference already ranks him ahead of guys like Urlacher as a Hall of Fame linebacker. What was he gonna do, sacrifice his body for two more middling-to-bad seasons for two more All-Pro nods to add to a career already more than enough for the Hall of Fame?

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
