Fake reason, you need two to tango.

Real reason, the front office is scared. They did their homework on one or two prospects where they were 100% comfortable with taking them. One of them was gone, and Horn was sitting there. It's why the pick took so long. There were people in the room very much advocating for two other players, but because both the coach and GM feel the need to play it safe they opted with the guy they were sure on.

Not really a great scene.

Horn nor Surtain would have lasted if we traded down.

The staff must feel good about LT prospects in the 2nd.

After initial WTF, I am feeling better about the pick.

I think we will pick 3 OL the rest of the way.

I would like Radunz, BYU LT, Little in the 2nd.

Then a LG in the 3rd.

Looking at how the board has fallen, it's clear they didn't see any trade back option that still netted them a guy they wanted in the first.

Take the best defensive player in the draft in that situation.

I am usually against CBs in the 1st but we already have good young DE, DT and LB/S.

Can't see us being comfortable trading back to 20 when we only have 1st round grades on 15 players. Also, getting future 1sts is great and all but if you're foregoing an elite prospect for a 2nd tier one by dropping that far, kind of dampers your prospects this year which may not be optimal when you traded away your 2nd round pick in 2022. Would hate for that to be a high 2nd rounder. Gotta put yourself in a position to be semi-competitive this year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
