He ran a 4.7. Jason Witten ran a 4.65.  Todd Heap ran a 4.68. Those are the comps for me. Guys that don't wow you on tape with any individual play. They're average athletes with no real highlights they just block well, get open, and catch balls. Over and over and over again.

 

Yeah it's tough to scout. I like him over the Kuntz style awkward tall guys that can only catch and suck at blocking, but I dunno if he'd be head and shoulders above Hurst or Tremble

Very possible. The draft is always a crap shoot. Steals and busts every draft and every draft would look a lot different if it could be done in retrospect.

Not knocking your opinion, plenty have him one, once you dig in you can see he is slow and a bit unathletic. Tall order for the NFL. Best of luck to him. Not sure if he can separate from linebackers. My thoughts, Hopefully wrong.

Gotta trade up for Mayer or Washington at this point. Otherwise why did we draft Young?

 

Thielen/Chark is just not enough for a rookie QB. Guys like Herbert/Burrow have 2 #1 WR's for goodness sake.

I disagree. No trade up is needed. TE is deep. There are also WRs we can get later also. I doubt Washington will be gone (hell, he may last to three). We also picked up Hurst and have TMJ. Let the draft come to you, unless Mayer is somehow available tomorrow.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
