There are some decent FAs available still like Ngakoue, Clowny, Floyd, and Clark. I wonder if we sign one after the draft.

It's why I'm glad we went offense. We have some key young guys to build around on D. We traded away both of the young offensive skill position players we had to build around. Build around your QB. There are good stopgap defenders available.

you know what I've noticed about the draft? I almost made a thread about this.

doesn't it seem like over the last couple years since the pandemic draft that the first round features tons of fans in the front rows that look like they aren't real fans, just paid actors or models that dress up in teams gear and get paid to stand there and cheer? There was a seahawks fan, blonde bombshell, fake lips, all dolled up, literally only wearing a fresh Seahawks draft cap. Standing by herself, nobody else with her, and she was just dancing and clapping the whole time. Ain't no way she is a diehard Seahawks fan that paid BANK to sit front row like that.

they mix in some super fans too, but then you also see all these fake "superfans" dressed from head to toe in gear with like NFL draft custom props and outfits. there aint no fuggin way. it's all fake af. the real fans are all the way in the back. And watch, none of them will be there for the next day.

maybe I'm crazy, idk. 

Oh I can guarantee they have "seat fillers" for lack of a better term.

Which one are you looking at? Mock draft database has him as 12th WR/79 overall on their consensus big board.

Espn had him 5th wr and 37th overall 

Fox had him 70th overall and 6th wr

Draft profile had him as a 2nd round pick

Athlon had him as a 2nd/3rd pick

Walter as a 2nd/3rd round pick

 

There's another one or two that had him the 30-40 range I'm trying to find. 

 

Few outliers like cbs and mock draft database. 

That's media wise and most were way off this year. A few did really well compared to everyone else but they have or had actual scouts help them with their boards. 

 

Scouting wise, maybe 15 players with first round GRADES. Tons with 2/3 grades and this class is varied and more volatile from team to team then most recent drafts.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
