Draft Connections

Funny thing I noticed looking at trade up scenarios: We have front office connections with almost all of the top six teams in the draft right now.

At #1, Bears Co-Director of Player Personnel Jeff King not only played tight end here under John Fox but was also a teammate of new VP of Player Personnel Adrian Wilson in Arizona.

Speaking of Wilson, he's obviously well connected to the Cardinals who sit at #3. Some calls could certainly be made there.

At #4 is the Colts, who despite his departure are said to still have a good relationship with Head Coach Frank Reich.

Coming in at #6 you have the Rams, from whom we just obtained our new OC and DB Coach as well as our DC (thru Denver).

And of course, there's the Seahawks at #5 who have a close connection to both our GM and our Assistant GM.

The question, of course, becomes which connection we'll call on...

...but hey, at least we have options 😁

So if the Panthers do trade with the bears: who will we target in your opinion Mr Scot? Young or Stroud

Don't know other than probably not Anthony Richardson given what Joe Person said.

They're said to like Will Levis a lot.

Shouldn’t Levis be available at 1R3?  Who likes Levis better than Stroud and Young except apparently the Panthers?

Possibly.

Reich raved about Bryce Young in his presser, but of course you've got the size concerns.

      This is the new thing lol. It’s all open to interpretation and it’s your fault for your interpretation. The guy saying “stop teasing” was really very upset with Bryce Young being injured, not excited. Ignore his other posts that seem to indicate the opposite. And don’t you know “Exciting not to see Bryce!” was in no way happy with Bryce Young getting injured. Again, don’t bother looking at the rest of the posts for further context. And definitely nobody was making fun of him by saying he was injured by the water boy bumping into him, or it was a gentleman’s benching, or his feelings got hurt. And the comments about him getting tackled by a finger graze or getting taken down by a stiff fart were not hyperbolic over reactions to the play that just happened, it was just general conversation completely unrelated to that play. And of course none of their views are tainted by a desire to see Bryce Young fail, they all want the best for him and the team, that’s how you know for sure that you are totally taking all the posts the wrong way. Really can’t believe you would make up all these lies. gaslighting /ˈɡasˌlīdiNG/ noun noun: gaslighting the practice of psychologically manipulatingsomeone into questioning their own sanity, memory, or powers of reasoning.

      TE group

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean we had more of a defensive need in the 2025 draft than we may in the 2026 draft(so far). But we took a TE. We did it in the 5th round. Also he has overwhelmingly been our best TE to date. He and the FA pickup. I think you just have an extremely skewed view of TE's in the NFL. I would implore you to take a look at some draft history, depth charts and career progressions of a lot of those players. You are going to see ample examples of lower round guys being drafted and then immediately starting at TE. The reason it isn't rare is that there aren't many TE's taken in the 1st at all.  It's the same with other positions. You think that it's impossible to find a C outside the 1st? Well....most of them aren't 1st rounders because they rarely get taken there. How about OG? The NFL is mostly non-1st round OG's and the elite tier is almost all not former 1st round OG's. How about RB's? Pretty similar right? That's not just numbers, it's positional value historically. High value positions litter the first round. It's always been that way.
