Joe Person: Fitterer will wait to ask Frank Reich who the pick will be 1/2 weeks before draft day

Reich alone got the Colts to trade a first round pick and then some for Wentz.

I really hope to god he considers others ‘bias’ opinions.

But whatever happens it better be the right pick or Tep needs to empty house, and then hire help, period.

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.

John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan did the same thing when they were deciding between Trey Lance and Mac Jones.

They didn't name their actual preference until a day or two before the draft. Both chose Lance.

Why don’t they just do it like the huddle and spend endless hours of explaining why their opinion is correct and anyone who disagrees is a moron. 

They had a guy who did it that way not too long ago.

They fired him after Week 5 last season.

I think this is very misleading in how they're saying it.

They're very much openly talking to each other about the things they see in the QB's, what they think is good, bad, can be improved upon and how, what could be issues with them, etc.

They need to have those discussions to properly evaluate them, as one person might see something that someone else doesn't, or someone has an idea how to fix something that someone else could not see.  And in those discussions, I'm sure it's quite clear to each of them who the other coaches prefer in their evaluations.

Saying they won't have them put out a single name until then is one thing, but they all know who they each like.

I'm really enjoying this offseason.  There's another month of this hysteria to go. I'm not some of you will survive. 

You think the hysteria stops after the draft?

Wait till the post draft reactions from the people who wanted a guy they didn't pick 😣

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
