This confirms what I was thinking.  I tried to ignore it, but he was not good--I blamed the reserve guards on each side of him. 

He led the NFL centers in the sacks allowed category.  Our guards were just as bad.  He lacks the ability to slide, I saw him late to pick up stunts and LBs.   I saw him getting bull rushed.  He is a good person and wanted to raise his family here-

He will be gone in the 20s I think.  Probably early 20s.

Powers-Johnson would be great at 33 but a lot of mocks are showing him gone in the 20's.  Zach Fazier from WV is shown in some mocks to still be there at #96 and that would be a really good pickup if the Panthers go WR at 33 which will probably happen.

Zach Frazier at the top of round 3 would be nice.  Plug and play at 60 something, you still get a starter at 33.

McConkey + Frazier would be nice.

I like SVP at UGA but Frazier works too. McConkey is great because he has a high floor.

I'm open to drafting a guard or center at 33. Interior OL is our biggest issue on the entire team.

As much as you want to draft a shiny, glittery WR, the teams that successfully build dynasties use the following rule (and this is not my opinion, I heard somebody say it who knew what they were talking about--forgot who):  Build from the inside out, front to back.   That formula says the OL--and the IOL are the starting points. 

You plug up that middle of the LOS and I promise you, Bryce gets better, the RBs get better, and the WRs get open.  Why? 

The facial pressure on a 5-10 QB takes him off his mark and the second that WRs are open before the DB adjusts closes.

you cannot win if your OL is giving up the A gaps.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon a lapse in concentration than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year after an offseason of hitting the juggs machine (unfortunately not sure that happened though).
