MNF against the Saints in week 2?

That would be surprising for the league to do, no interesting storylines between two teams that don't have much of a national following, have a hard time believing that one.

most likely to give Bryce young a primetime game to show what he got as the number one overall pick

That's fair, but if that's the case, there are so many better matchups they could have done that would help draw in more viewers.  As on the surface, even with the #1 pick in the game, Panthers-Saints Week 2 seems about as uninspiring of a national interest in a matchup as possible.

Texans would have the picks 1-2 storyline, Colts would have Reich against his old team and maybe AR-Bryce, Bears would be DJ and the team that traded the #1 pick, Jags would be the two most recent #1 pick QBs, Dolphins would have two former Alabama QB's against each other, and Cowboys are the Cowboys, hell, either Bucs game would bring in the Baker storyline too.

All would be way more interesting matchups for MNF if they were looking to get Bryce that spotlight.

That part makes sense to do with the latest #1 pick, it's them doing it in Week 2 against the Saints that seems odd to me, that early in the season, the only storyline is that we're division rivals.

They will probably make the Colts game later in the season for better chances that AR is the starter by then and had more time to develop since he needs the most development out of the top 3 QBs.

Good IMO. Young should be good to go and they will be able to minimally prepare to face him in our offense.

 

That's another way of looking at it I guess

I'm still afraid of Bijan running for 300 yards in his debut against a newly formed 3-4 defense in their literal first game played together.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
