Which team ‘won’ round 1 and which team ‘bombed’

true. but he'll be walking into a situation where these guys are also going to be looking for another contract soon. small consolation, but i'm not a believer in ridder except that i don't mind him being the falcons QB for a while. i do feel like, though, if Young takes off like it's believed he will, i won't be worried by any other teams in the NFCS.

 

We are ahead of the curve in the division. We went out and got a high end QB prospect. In another year, Atlanta, Tampa and New Orleans might all be kicking themselves for not doing more to get a good one on a rookie contract sooner. I understand the Falcons giving Ridder a chance. I don’t understand what Tampa is doing. The Saints got Carr but I am anti-retreads.

I would have been totally fine with trading back, getting more picks and taking Hooker.  I think he's going to be as good as any of the other 4.

I like Bryce Young. I admire the willingness of the team to move up and get us out of our QB purgatory. The front office picked him so we have to roll with him.

That said, my thoughts about Hooker are similar to yours. He played against some of the best competition week in and week out in the SEC (TN even beat Bryce and BAMA when they played this past season). Carolina could have probably nabbed him at #39 without giving up DJ, a 2nd and 3rd this year, a #1 in 2024, and a #2 in 2025.

Anyway, the die has been cast. All we can do now is see how things pan out in 2023.

i feel the same way about all of them. Carr is an ok QB. he's solid. but he'll never be feared. falcons are going to have to play catchup once they realize that ridder won't get them anywhere. the bucs lucked out and had brady, which is the only way in which they have managed to be at all relevant in 20 years. they won't get another brady. 

i feel that we are going to own the NFCS for at least a couple years.

Tampa is going for a QB prospect next year instead of taking the 4th QB this year. I don’t blame them.

Count me in as not being quite as high on what the Texans did. Stroud was a great pick but they gave up a lot for Anderson, and I say this as someone who had Anderson as the draft's #1 player. But they gave up their first next year which could easily wind up being a top five pick.

it was a horrible knee jerk move. i'd be furious if we did something like that for a DE

I mean, edge rusher is a position of supreme value. Especially someone like Anderson that should be a perennial double digit sack guy, it just doesn't make sense for a Texans team still littered with holes. If that was the final piece maybeeeee, but it's not

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
