Brady is in Alabama, meanwhile Rhule and Fitterer are in Ohio. Pretty clear which one we're prioritizing.

Given Rhule has already seen Mac Jones quite a bit, in this particular case, I wouldn't read TOO much into it.

He could easily be there in the third. He’d be a huge reach at our 2nd pick after looking terrible at the Senior Bowl, nothing close to an NFL starter. I’d say there’s a higher chance than he never becomes a backup than becomes a real NFL starter. I’m not talking about a Will Grier throw him to the wolves even though we know he’s not good start.

Pretty sure he was the MVP of the Senior Bowl. A team will reach for him. I don’t think he makes it past the 2nd...

That game featured the worst QBs they ever had. Sorry, but getting an MVP for a 52% completion percentage means there was just no one else. The other 4 QBs are day 3 or undrafted guys and looked the part. There was 1 RB at 60 yards all others had 15 or below and one WR at 90 with all others at 52 or below.

It really wasn’t a good offensive game at all. Mond didn’t look good, he just threw the ball the most. Maybe someone takes him in the 2nd (it only takes 1) but I think he’s got a great shot at making the 3rd. If we took him at 39, it would be a terrible pick. Maybe it works out but it would be a huge reach with a huge chance of failure.

I don’t want us to draft him at 39. I’m just saying I think another team will overdraft him ahead of our 3rd pick. He looked decent in the Senior Bowl, started off rusty but got in rhythm and made some nice throws with 2 TDs and 0 INTs in a game where the line wasn’t blocking well.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
