Not to mention the NFL bloodlines. He’s been groomed for this moment. Now he needs to build on his potential and I don’t think we would’ve taken him that high if we didn’t think he could.

I concur 1000%.  He also has what you can’t coach, that drive/confidence/swagger, wants to compete.

I wanted Sewel like most of you .  He was off the board so we took some rated the #1 CB. Last year I never heard of Chinn but look how that worked out .  Lets wait and see how this draft works out before calling for their heads .  If Horn turns out like Chinn did you will say they did a great job , if not then call for their heads .

I was super pissed at Detroit last night.  Ask the wife and dogs.  That being said, if you look at our divisional opponents with offensive weapons we had a big need and it got filled.  Fitts...Sewell...trade/BPA.  I'm surprised we couldn't make a trade with someone to allow them to get their QB (Fields) or some other target.  I just hope that Fitterer wasn't eating or likes pancakes.

they said they fielded plenty of calls, but didn't get an offer that took them away from Horn.

Gotcha.  Goes toward the decision to prioritize stud CB in NFC South.  Can't knock the logic.  Just stinks that we see trades flipping on close picks and we couldn't do the same and still get Horn.

Broncos would have taken Surtain still at 9 and Cowboys absolutely loved Horn and would have taken him at 10 so it was basically pick Horn if you wanted him,  or trade back and I'm glad we picked Horn.  

Don't think our fans realize just how great our defense is shaping up to be.

and if you look at our 3rd down stop issues last year, they should understand why Horn is needed.

Looking at one round of a draft is always a fool's errand.  Our problem in the past is we too often did well in the one round everybody focuses on, and did awful to mediocre after that.

CB was definitely a huge need, but not our biggest need.  The thing about the CB position (and I would say the same about OT, especially LT) is there is usually a solid line between a very small group who can come in and do a credible job as a starter on day one, and guys that will start but noticeably take their lumps.  I guess the best way to describe it is the difference in the size of the lumps they will take.

Slater, Horn, Surtain will all be starters on day one, barring an injury. 

What this pick showed is the staff was not high enough on Fields to make him the #8 pick.  I've said for weeks, fans tend to look at a situation like the "Big Four" QBs and assume every team who has any need for a QB wants one of them.  The problem is, there is probably no team probably wants any of the four, especially in the first round.  They may like one, two, or three of them but it is very unlikely anybody said they would take any of them.  We liked somewhere between 0 and 3 of them, most likely 2 from what I hear.

Now let's let the rest of the draft play out before we drink the Drano punch.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
