Just watched it and my takeaways are as follow….

Fitt said we’re not going to force something just to force it…if we’re gonna take him at face value that means the oline no matter what and taking Pickett just because he’s more pro ready even though a Willis or Howell may have a lot more upside *might* not be the lock every one says it is. 

Campen wanted to see more of Brady at LT (who didn’t not named rhule) and Brady has a legit shot at being the LT. I’m not positive we’re absolutely locked in on a LT tbh. Also that they’re very open to trading back. If I’m a better man (and my God am I) I think the most likely scenario is drafting Willis or trading back.

Lastly it seems like Tepper might really be letting every one know that if we don’t win this year heads are gonna roll. You can kinda tell Fitt feels the stress the fans/Tepper are putting on them. All in all a solid straight to the point interview.

Oh yeah and it seems like they believe the QB  is holding Ian Thomas back if you read between the lines. And Mcadoo identified him as some one he really liked so I’m actually ok with it now. He was a crap head coach but really was a good o coordinator. It seems like Thomas and Luvu got paid also because they’re good locker room guys and we really might need them to keep the team together if this season goes how most think.

They signed Thomas to that big deal because he was clocked by GPS going down field at 20 mph. Fittermagic!

I'd call that wishful thinking, especially as long as Matt Rhule is still in charge and needs to save his ass.

I think he was using an example of what they think he can be but yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if it proves to be the terrible signing it appears to be.

Idk I just disagree on this one. If every one in the room minus Rhule thinks Willis will be elite and Pickett will top out at Kirk cousins I get the feeling he’ll get over ruled by Tepper. I know every thing is all doom and gloom for most but it’s just how I read it. Reasonable minds can disagree!

If they signed him to that big of a contract because he's a good locker room guy this team is actively trying to lose.

If he didn't overrule them for Justin Fields, what makes you think he'll overrule them for somebody who's nowhere near as good as Justin Fields?

From what Fitterer said, it sounds like the reason they signed him is because McAdoo thinks he can be good.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
