A safety has not been taken in top 5 since Sean Taylor.   Taylor was a unicorn.  A rare athlete and football player.  But there is a player in upcoming draft comparable.  

Kyle Hamilton is that guy.  6'4" 220lbs of lightning.  I know positional value etc.  Really though can you imagine a secondary with a resigned Gilmore, a healthy Horn, Chinn and Hamilton prowling the center? 

Just saying.  Believe it or not this could be a option if... We can find a guard and or center in FA.   I prefer to either trade down and load up on BPA at positions of need,     ( MLB, FS, OL and of course QB) or take either Ikem, Cross or Linderbaum and save QB till next year.  Kyle Hamilton is a dark horse for that pick though.  Someone no one is talking bout as a option so...

It wouldn't shock me. Even though I've been pounding the FA drum for years, Amy pick we make in the 1st that isn't a QB or OL is a fuging idiotic pick.

QB class is terrible.

6 is too high for a QB.

QB won't help in year one.

BC is developing nicely at LT.

Too early for an IOL.

You don't pass on an elite talent in the top-10 to chase need.

I can hear all of the excuses now. 

I totally expect a pick none of us are expecting.  This place will implode. 

Maybe a safety isn't bad, it could be a corner.

Trade back

A big hitting safety, with todays rules, don't have the impact they used to in my opinion.

True.  If he was only a big hitting safety.  For his size he is a playmaker on the ball.  Him and Chinn would a fearsome duo.

Sorry, but Brady is not a long term answer at LT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably not, most are not.  But you have seen a few games and he was decent--while it takes rookies a while to develop.  Pretty premature assessment, if you ask me.

We tend to throw away players if they do not make that big splash.  A third rounder who has been practicing at G is moved to LT and does fairly well.  You are ready to move on after what, three/four games? 

Our glaring weakness is the IOL. Do you think BC is a G?  If so, what is that decision based on? 

Not challenging your opinion (even though this was not stated as such), but I want to know what you have heard/see that impacts your opinions.  In my mind, there is reason to be cautiously optimistic about BC at T.

He was a 3rd rounder for a reason. He probably is a G. There are 3 top LT in the draft, though I think one is really a RT. They are top 10 for a reason. When you see how he graded out in his starts, it was mediocre at best. Go get an immediate starter and difference maker

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
