⁵Good debut for what it was. I dont know how much of the returns are concrete. I do think Marshall would translate no matter the class of competition. 

Phil Hoskins was pretty good also.

Chubba has some explosion to his step.

That said, it was an impressive draft class premiere. 

Only gripes this game was the from the left side of the oline, run defense and mlb. Fisher did some work today too, I just wish he was a little faster. 

If Fisher makes the roster we're in trouble. He's not an NFL level athlete, unfortunately. 

The game isn't played in a phone booth anymore - he can't make up for his inability to go sideline-to-sideline with instincts / toughness / football IQ. NFL OCs would absolutely abuse him if he saw any action.

I really think Christensen has a chance to be a solid starter, just not sure what position yet.

He looked way better at RT than LG, doesn't have the lower body power to handle DT bull rushes. They should give him some LT reps even tho "His arms are 3/4" too short" or whatever. It was his only position in College and we have nothing else there besides moving our primary RT over there. Depends on which way CMC likes to run the ball because if I'm him I'm running behind Moton over Brady every time

Horn, TM Jr, cbubba, Tremble and Nix will all be starters, or at least rotational players. 

And Christianson, deonte brown and Keith Taylor will probably ly be starters within 2 more years. Shi Smith will also be a good backup or special teams player.

I can't remember us ever having a better draft... but to keep things in perspective, this was a bad team that had lost a lot of starters and is rebuilding too, so we had tots of holes to fill.

2001 - Morgan, Jenkins, Smith.

Three All-Pros.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
