He's a project. I don't prefer drafting projects in the 3rd, especially trading up for em. But we'll see. 
 

TE wasn't a need with Hurst, Thomas and Tommy. 
 

Edge was (still is). Panic move, but it is what it is and we'll just have to see if he starts clicking in year 2. This year will be a bench year for him. Maybe even a mystery injury trip to the IR, as the two undrafted edges seem to be making more initial noise.

Is Johnson also not a project? He’s got some fire in him, but the dude fought with fans, so it just makes me wonder about his mental game. It’s all a gamble anyway, but Washington could have been an offensive threat and an extra blocker for Bryce.

Hard to say this early in camp, during a year when we drafted a #1 overall QB who eats up most of the articles/oberservation from camp. I feel in depth coverage of all positions is overshadowed by Bryce right now, but even so, camp hype is just camp hype anyway. 
 

Ends/edge tend to need time to develop too, which means the primary issue with him (age) is magnified. 
 

He certainly has the tools/body, and what I hope to see is him, by the end of the season, show he can hold the edge, and flash some pass rush.

 

Im not worried about him, but I understand why people are.

That's who I was referring to.

Hated the pick. I hope he proves me wrong.

But I'm always going to be all the way out on 24 year old rookies who are still being drafted as raw prospects because they bounced from position to position in college with their program desperately finding a spot where maybe the athletic traits would click.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
