I listened to the TCU kid... said he looked up to Devante Adams... sounded pretty calm and humble. Seemed like he'd be a good teammate.

I caught bits of snippets from each and Addison I think it was said one of the guys he tried to model his game after was Steve Smith.

I put this in one of the other threads, but it's more appropriate here...

DBs I'm watching today when able: Brian Branch, Christian Gonzalez, Joey Porter Jr, Devon Witherspoon, Tre'Vious Hodges-Tomlinson, Garrett Williams, Riley Moss, Darrell Lutter Jr, Jaylon Jones, Kyu Blu Kelly, Ji'Ayir Brown, Sydney Brown, and Trey Dean III Dean III did well at the Senior Bowl iirc (or was it the Shrine Bowl?). Very interested to see if he builds off of that performance.

BRYCE YOUNGQB, COLLEGE PLAYER
 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Bryce Young's size "doesn't matter enough, from the people I've spoken with, to knock him out of the No. 1 spot."

The size debates on Young have been part of the backdrop of draft conversation for some time, though this coming out before Young officially weighs in at the combine is an interesting matter of timing. Most outside evaluators have Young ranked in the top 10 of the draft class -- he's third for Mel Kiper, third for Daniel Jeremiah, and third for Dane Brugler. The quarterback premium takes care of the rest. It does appear that this sets the scene for the first draft debate to be "Who will trade up for Young?"

We've got to find a way to draft Nolan Smith. 

You're gonna have to sign Derek Carr and draft him at #9. Hell, I don't think it's out of the question he goes before #9. He was already considered a potential 1st round pick and then he went out there and performed like a literal superhero at the Combine. He's going high.

    • Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.
    • It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?  
    • I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
