There are dudes in the 3rd round of this draft that don’t need 3-4 years to blossom.  You talking about blossoming at near 30 given his age. 

we just drafted a rookie QB #1 overall.  We aren’t a win immediately team.  We got to develop our QB. 

should of just drafted that 6’7 UGA TE instead and focused on Bryce Young’s development. 

I’m saying get 3-4 years out of him as a fringe role player is a success. If this guy is a Mario Addison level player then that’s a major win. 
 

Our defensive line needs bodies. I think we are going to have some growing pains on that side of the ball. Guys who faired well with Wilks 4-3 might have a hard time in the 3-4. I think they are anticipating struggles against the run and think this guy can plug some holes situationally and rush the passer. He’s a hell of an athlete. I don’t mind the pick at all. Burns needs help.

The reason I don't take thr Darnell Washington ppl seriously is because they would've taken him 40 picks ago no question when a simple search reveals he had red flags abt  his knees.

And then he still got drafted behind a guy literally missing an ACL because he's a raw prospect as a receiver.

Wow...so many armchair scouts that watch a few YT vids and play around on their Playskool First Draft Simulator and have more insight than paid scouts/coaches.

We needed an EDGE and people were begging for one at 39, so we get one at 80. This dude is a physical specimen and is a great compliment to Burns. 

Yes, he's 25 and doesn't have mind blowing stats, but can we at least trust the selection of this insanely well put together coaching staff that everyone was soooo enamored with. 

Maybe they know what they're doing? This isn't Madden.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
