Probably not the guys they're mentioning. I'd be looking at the non-1st round Clemson prospects. Two guys who come to mind are EDGE K.J. Henry and TE Davis Allen.

I mean, Clemson is one of the top college football programs in the nation and they're virtually in our backyard. It'd be negligent not to have a strong presence there.

KJ Henry would fit like a glove in our 3-4 as a DE/Edge hybrid. As a Clemson alum I've been waiting for the day when we finally take one. I thought Isaiah Simmons was the guy but in hindsight I can't be mad at taking Brown over him.

I don't think there's a WR1 available currently....maybe...maybe Jerry Jeudy. I think he can be had for our #39.

I'm kicking tires on Elijah Moore with the Jets and also Sutton in Denver for less than Jeudy would cost. 

 

Yea, I was thinking about Moore too. Would be in on him if available. Seems like they are about to be 10 deep at WR.

The Chiefs just won a SB with both of their starting wideouts currently free agents.  
 

Scheme matters.  Get some good route runners and a stud TE.  Then draft another and allow TMJ to continue to develop.  I have a feeling he will be a 1,000 yard receiver next year

Moore posted a kind of an enigmatic tweet about being thankful for a things he didn't get.

With the news that Aaron Rodgers is directing the Jets to try and sign some of his old offensive teammates, there's speculation the Jets might be willing to part with some of their current guys.

I think this veteran QB mentor thing is getting way overblown considering our HC and QBs coach were both NFL QBs.

Well, the back-up QB, regardless of whom your HC is (because they are more like CEO's, not position coaches), is very important. It's important for on the field purposes during the game, it's important to help break down film outside of work hours. They also help snip film for film study.

So no, it's not overblown. Not in the least. If we are rolling with Stroud and Corral, we are going to be missing a huge element of what makes that job what it is. It's why guys like Colin Kaeper-get punched in the face didn't get a shot at jobs, he didn't want to be the back-up. It's why Russell Wilson would retire. It's why guys like Case Keenum, Colt McCoy, Tyrod Taylor, Heinicke, and Bridgewater will have jobs until they don't want them anymore. They are an extension of the coaching staff to the starter.

It is very important, especially for a rookie QB. It's even important for a guy like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, even when Tom Brady had a former NFL QB as an OC. It's why we retained a guy like Derek Anderson for so long despite having a Shula as the OC and Cam being an MVP QB by that point.

So don't undersell the value of this here just to pacify your feelings; or rather try to use irrational logic to suit your confirmation bias.

Yeah, as if we don't have other holes to fill. I'm keeping 39 and drafting Mims. Then I'm taking Will Mallory in the 5th. Jerrod Clark (ideal NT at 6'4 330 who originally went to college as a TE) or Nick Hampton (Elite Pass Rusher measurables) in the 4th.

We want talent to develop on Rookie contracts. That's what enables you to go out and get those missing pieces to make a Super Bowl run. It's why the Chiefs were able to make a Super Bowl run despite Mahomes contract. They played 9 rookies in 2022-23. NINE. It's why they can get guys to support Mahomes and that offense.

So keep the draft picks, trust your evaluations, and develop guys.

They better view G Wilson as the key franchise piece for their own good.

Moore though..he has so much road ahead in his career.  He would be a very interesting get for a team.

Davis, not as much.

Maybe we get DJ Chark news today.  

Fine. Sign DJ Chark and D'onta Foreman, draft Denzel Mims and Will Mallory and I'm happier on offense. At that point you have three solid receivers, an offensive line that should improve, and a power back that will require linebacker support close to the line to bring down, and a good receiving tight end.

Remind me. Did Moore say or do something stupid previously?

I have a vague memory of him making an ass of himself over something but I could be wrong.

I think he got ticked off about how they were using him and the coaches told him to skip practice.  He subsequently asked for a trade if I recall correctly.  Though nothing was completely prior to the deadline.  Funny thing was the Packers were a rumored package to boost Rodgers corps lol.

*edit: There was something weird about it---and here it is--it was strange bc it was after their good start:

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
