as a Miami hurricanes and Carolina Panthers fan, not thrilled with this pick

 

granted he's been at Oregon for a few years, but was highly rated recruit and was soft his freshman year, couldn't see the field then transferred to Oregon, couldn't see the field at DE at Oregon either so played TE for a while then moved back to LB/DE 

 

could be great I guess because of his athleticism but when it comes to making the NFL, especially as a third round pick ,the production in college is nowhere near where it needs to be not to mention the off the field stuff

sorry you are right.... GMs always get first round talent with first round grades, no teams ever do boneheaded things and miss on players

 

 

"The most impressive performance from a former Tiger, surprising no one, came from Trenton Simpson. The Charlotte native put up 25 reps at 225 pounds on the bench, measured in at a strong 6-foot-2 235 pounds, but his best moment came in the 40.

 

Simpson wowed the crowd with a 4.43 40-yard dash, with a 1.55 10-yard split. His time trailed only Auburn’ Owen Pappoe’s 4.39.

The stellar showing at the combine earned Trenton Simpson a 6.24 prospect grade per NFL.com (8.0 represents a “perfect prospect”). The 6.24 grade places Simpson as the second-best linebacker prospect in this class, behind just Arkansas’ Drew Sanders"

I am not a Clemson homer, but the numbers do not lie. This young man is going to shine in the NFL and being around the $100 million dollar man in Roquan Smith will help him take it to the next level.

This team needed strong LB play and we just drafted a guy who played 3 different positions in 6 years who was likely headed to being undrafted

 

 

What nonsense is this? I’m not disputing that. I’m saying you incorrectly said “he has a first round grade” which is wrong. Because if he had a first round grade he wouldn’t be available at pick 80 lmao.

People miss all the time. But nobody has a first round grade on their he side or he would be gone by now. Use some logic.

Norwood was 6'0 and ran a 4.7

Lol that tweener era was the worst. We brought over that asshat from Indy who wanted to build a whole defense of undersized guys because Dwight Freeney or some dumb poo. Set us back years. Probably part of the reason we overcorrected to draft all the fat asses Gettleman.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
