Here’s the entire game. It’s so easy to find stuff on Christensen thanks to Wilson. You can find almost all of Wilson’s throws the past couple seasons if you look hard enough. 

LOL the pre-game 'Cougar walk'.

If he turns out to be good Fit will go down in history as the best GM of all time.  I think once Darrisaw went In the First round all the sure things went off the board for LT. At that point the value was with Brady in the 3rd.  I think he has as good of a chance as Jenkins, Eichenburg, leatherwood, and Mayfield of actually succeeding.  
 

I am really pulling for the kid.  
 

If not he will be a good guard which also isn’t bad value in the 3rd.

My favorite pick (and I only liked 2) I believe average is his floor.

BYU oline program is top notch. But they also aren’t playing too competition. Double edged sword, harder to envision what the ceiling is, but you can bet it hasn’t been reached yet like some players out of top schools.

Now I’m curious as to the other pick you liked. 
 

Personally, I think we just pulled off one of our better drafts.

Remember, this dude was the only player we traded UP for...as opposed to the 1847 tradedowns. The FO must think pretty highly of him.

They traded up because he was they're last shot at a decent Tackle prospect. All the Top Tackles were gone, the pretty good guys were also gone. Jaylen Mayfield went a couple of picks ahead and Fit started calling I bet. I am pretty sure if Christensen would have went where Mayfield did, Fit would've grabbed the phone and drafted Mayfield (trading up), because after them there was nothing for tackles.

That Said- I like the kid and hope he performs as well as we are all hoping.

My thoughts on Brady

Strengths

- athletic AF

- good feet

- good IQ

Weaknesses

- needs to improve his hands use (specifically, chopping DE's hands/arms)

- needs to anchor faster (he regularly gets pushed back)

- needs to get meaner (doesn't look for work or always try to burry dudes)

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
