The issue I have with our pick at 33 is there is going to be a projected first round pick that fall out of the first round.  The question will be WHY?  

While I agree we need to get O-line help I am not sold that what we have on the roster is trash.  I continue to believe it had to do with the scheme that Reich wanted and what we were built for.  Hopefully our new head coach goes back to a more traditional style of blocking that our players are better at. 

We have been jinxed for nearly 20 years on 2nd round WRs.  After Moose I don't think we have ever hit on a 2nd round WR.   My hope is a WR that is NFL ready as far as route running and concept understanding. 

I agree on MLB.  I think we got to have a defensive general.  Obvious a Kuechly clone would be nice.

I hope that Morgan isn't just talking and lands us some players that can improve this team.

Dan Morgan's only interview question to draft prospects:  "On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a Dawg are you?" 

That's what's going to be different from last year lol 

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in some of his interviews.  I think Morgan will do well to bring that dawg out in his interviews.

Morgan seems like a no nonsense dude. He is a former player and will know if you're just BS-ing your way through or not motivated to be a great player. He's not looking for dudes whose dream is to play in the NFL, but for dudes what want to be in the hall of fame!

Not just a former player but a great one.  He knows what it takes and as you said.  He'll be able to sort out BS from fact.

Idunno, Curtis Samuel was pretty good by his 3rd year, esp the 4th. He might be the only one though. Lafell was decent. Funchess was tolerated by year 3. All more effective than TMJ. 

Yea u might be right lol.. hopefully Mingo pans out.

Weak class for TEs.  And no, we are not getting Bowers.

Sure is.  I don't think we can do better than what we have---we improve with Hurst getting better and maybe prospering in a new system.   Tremble was showing signs of becoming a solid #2.  Ricci from IR could help as well.

I want to make the #33 pick even more complicated than this....

After round 1, lotta teams try to trade up and the phones will ring between day 1 and day 2.  Since we have mulitple needs, I wpuld not be too surprised to see us trade down to about #40 and add a third rounder.  Heard it here first!   The WR group is really good, and if a no brainer first rounder does not drop to #33, I would consider a trade back--not too far---8-10 spots.

Yep it’s what happened last year. Hopefully a top QB falls again like Levis because teams will overpay for a premium position.

Probably because of overly relying on the combine vs game analysis

Would it be a good idea to look at QB's as well? Deep class so talent will be available in later rounds. Be kind of stupid not to draft a QB, just in case Young really does end up being a bust. Would be nice to have a QB on the roster for a year or so to get some experience.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
