The more I see about him the more I love the pick, and it’s not just homerism.  If your offensive linemen are tough, smart, and love the game, they’ll usually be great.  He has all of those traits plus awesome athleticism.  Pretty sure offensive linemen have the highest overall Wonderlic scores on average.  Not that it means a ton, but at least they’re not stupid, and Ickey is about as smart an OT that’s been drafted in a while.  
 

The way he’s been described makes me think of a Norwell-type who is better, and plays tackle.  We lost the White Buffalo, but hopefully we just got our Black Bison

😂 I haven't been shy about it, Scot.  I know you have always loved the big ugliest, and I always appreciated them, I just never liked the idea of using our first rounder on them. I knew it was sometimes necessary, but especially in the infancy years of the huddle, I just preferred to either sign guys or find late round gems and use the first rounders for the big splash/playmaker/sexy picks.  I wanted production that was quantitative.  

But boy oh boy...  let me tell you how much my mind has changed since those days😂.  Seeing a generational talent get destroyed and effectively have his career/peak shortened definitely hastened my shifting perspective.  We needed a franchise tackle, and if that takes the first pick, you go get them...  and we did.  Couldn't be happier.

I never dreamed he would be available to pick. Out of all top 3 tackles, I assumed he would be gone no matter what by 6, so last night was a slam dunk. It’s going to be so fugging satisfying to not cringe every game at our line. We have a certified stud who has potential through the roof. We are going from the worst starting LT in the league to one of the best

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
