I just still cant believe we took this guy over Stroud, I quite literally will never get over it.

Houston would have taken Young over Stroud. He was  consensus No. 1. Hindsight is 20/20.  Not sure why you are baffled.

This is one of my biggest issues, even MORE than his height/weight.

For a #1 overall pick, young had some of the worse footwork in history. It was like he's never even done drills once. Even old frank seen how bad and thought "no point in working on this, take too long to fix..."

I honestly don't think Frank wanted to develop a rookie. He would have much preferred a vet if given the choice. Whatever the plan was when he was hired went up in smoke the second Fitterer traded up for the first pick.  I will never be convinced otherwise unless it comes from Frank's own mouth.

Trading up for a guy that has to completely rework his footwork from the ground up in year 2 is baffling. And it only works in theory, he does what he does so he can just be able to see what's going on. Time stamped, someone from Alabama actually told this dude that Bryce called up to the OC during a Georgia game and told him he couldn't see anything lol.

Maybe, but they were clearly very comfortable with taking Stroud. If there was a gap, it was negligible in their eyes. And it still doesn't excuse the ignoring of the giant points of concern.

It was reported by some of the beat reporters he wanted David Carr. Not a small amount either...

Plus it was proven recently that frank, Thomas brown, and campy were not on the same page/thinking. It's a big mess when your OL doesn't know how far the QB is off the ball during the week. Brown wanted to try different plays and frank wanted to stick to their Frankenstein playbook made during the off-season. 

It wouldn't surprise me if fittererererer told frank after a few weeks "guess what, we are trading for the #1 pick" before Frank agreed with it. FItterererer had David tepper putting massive amount of pressure to find a "franchise" QB and after failing to land Watson, stafford and the darnold fumble.......the only remaining way was to trade into the top 1-3. That maybe the biggest fail of them all.....

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Sure, he's said that, but what it really means is that he's just going to insist on being a two way player and the Jags want him as such. But he won't be a starter who plays every snap on both sides in Week 1, if at all during his rookie year.  This is the NFL, no rookie, no matter how good they might be, is going to be able to go through their first mini and training camps while splitting time on both sides of the ball and be ready to be a week 1 starter and go full time both sides. And if a team does that, then they're dumb. I think their plan is to start him mainly on offense to give Lawrence another weapon, and I'm guessing it means he'll be a rotational CB early in the season, maybe he comes in when they go to nickel, even if he then plays the outside and someone else shifts inside.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By theinstrumental · Posted

      YAC isn't the only way to be a threat. Thielen's ADOT was 11 yards last year. He's stressing a defense beyond its first level. Renfrow's 2023 ADOT was 5.6 yards. He's settling into a soft spot under a zone and the defense bets that they can rally and tackle before he gets to the marker. That kind of popgun slot receiver play is fine, but we should hope to be able to find that ability in someone who can also bring another skill, whether that's a vertical threat, or some jet sweep/screen game YAC  ability, or even just being very large and blocking well. Every time we trot Renfrow out there, we limit what the defense has to worry about.
