thats every college player..Raw talent and potential.Just need to coach them up.

true, but there are players that are more potential/raw talent and others that are more refined. drew carter for instance, had great speed and potential, but his ball catching skills were suspect. then you have players that come out and surprise people with their immediate impact, such as the rookie receiver last year for Denver, desean jackson, and the eagle's rookie this year. true they are generally higher picks, but that is the kind of impact we need at receiver next year. someone who is more refined ability than raw potential.

Excuse me, but who you propose we draft? If you dont know, we dont have a first rounder. So all that Benn crap goes out the window. Chance this kid might fall to us in the 2nd round. You got it confused kid. If Thomas have a good combine, its a good chance somebody might get him before us. He's also a great blocker cause of his size

Arrelious Benn is not a sure-fire 1st round pick yet.. we very well could get him in the 2nd round. Thomas has great measurables.. I haven't looked at his route running or hands yet.. I would guess his route running is poor though.

    • 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
