I just hope rhule doesn't fk it up.

Best thing he can do is just sit back and keep his mouth shut and let the rest of the coaches coach. 

Of course i'll say Snow should do the same. Just stay quiet and out of the way.

I didn't come in expecting that we'd be able to do much, but considering what we've done, I'm pleased. To be honest, we could've called it a day last night and I'd have been smiling. I didn't think we'd get Ickey, and I thought we'd have to trade someone (mainly CMC) to put us in position to get Corral on day 2. I wanted Fitt and company to do the right thing and have some discipline even though it was frustrating--tough--to be sitting on our hands and waiting. As far as today, I said it last night, it's all about upside. That includes not only the draftees, but the UDFAs. 

Fitterer is a draft wizard. He knows what he's doing. Accept it and embrace it.

I loved this draft.  If you told me before the draft that we would get Ikem and Corral without giving away a player or sacrificing next years 1st or 2nd, I would have not believed you.  Ikem alone is worth this draft.

I also like the setup in a make-or-break year for Rhule.  The QB was a 3rd rounder, so taking one high next year won't be some huge issue with moving on/keeping as a backup if we eye Stroud/Young/Levis/McCall...whoeever

The line has finally been addressed, and early.  And this is not an Otah situation.  

Our 4th rounder is a pretty big boom-bust, the rest strong developmental types.

Unsure if Darnold or another vet will take the field first but we'll be seeing Corral this year and hey, maybe we found ourselves a mid-round steal.  Never know.

Scott’s the best draft day GM I’ve seen

College scouting is his thing.

I've said before that between his experience with college scouting and Dan Morgan's background and pro personnel, we could be set up pretty good.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
