Shortly after that year's draft, Lynch told Albert Breer about how he and Shanahan had made an agreement between them to not make a final choice up to a certain time.

When the day came, Shanahan went up to Lynch and said something along the lines of "So are you ready to draft Trey?" Lynch's response was "Are you f--king with me?" because he'd come to the same conclusion.

Let's just say I believe Albert Breer both has better contacts and is far less full of bullsh-t than you so yeah, I believe him 😄

Cool if you actually believe that

It's called reading. You should try it 😄

Teams are pretty much always very loose with information after the draft. And hell, why shouldn't they be? It's done. Smokescreens and all the other bullsh-t don't matter after the picks have been made.

I think this bit is a little misleading. They’re trying to avoid group think and letting each guy do his own thought process before they share their thoughts. I think it’s smart.

I agree.  It sounds as if Reich is making the choice, but he is actually saying, "I am making the choice, but I will not know his preference until 10 days (roughly) before the draft.  I would add that I am sure they will report that they were on the same page.

I agree, this is a very good approach.

I’m sure Reich will listen to input from the rest of the team. He hired people he respects for a reason. If he’s close between Stroud and Young, someone else might be able to add something he didn’t think of, and that might sway his opinion. At least that is how a good leader should do it, and I think he is one.

More than one source has said that Jim Caldwell is going to have a big voice in these decisions.

If thats true then you have to factor in him going to the SB with pocket passer manning and going to the playoffs with pocket passer Stafford.  As a coordinator he worked with Flaco and won the SB.

 

I think its fair to say he has a type.

The two players reported to be our top choices both fit that type.

Young is most certainly not in the mold of the pocket passers of Stroud, Manning, Stafford or Flacco. 

A passer isn't defined by his mobility... or the lack of it.

The ability to read, process, make the right decision and throw an accurate pass are what define them.

Pocket mobility is a good thing. Being a threat to run is also nice but not necessary.

      Monday practice tweets

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
