Where are these Debbie Downers coming from?  Are they Cicadas?  You get the best RB in the draft vs. the 10th best CB. I wanted the LB.  However, a RB that can catch better that Chuba, block better than Chuba, and run better than Chuba--behind our new guards---I see it.

 

Let’s be honest, at 39, we had our pick of CBs starting with the 3rd ranked DeJean. We also had the 2nd and 3rd ranked Cs available too.

The 2nd best RB was available at 65. You don’t have to be a Debbie Downer to think that a RB who ended his season with an ACL tear might have not been the best choice. I was fine with the trade down to get the 2025 2nd but a RB in round 2 is not who I would have wanted.

Committee.  Plus before his injury he was putting up better numbers than Bijan. Just saying. The Falcons took Bijan early and we got Brooks a round later. 

All good but until they go through the process it's irrelevant, if course they will start one of them but even that doesn't mean he's #1, that'll all depend on the game plans and how best to Ayan the defense.

I like that he doesn’t have a lot of wear and tear on his body yet since he was behind Johnson and Robinson his first couple seasons. I don’t like that he’s coming off an ACL injury, obviously. Seems like we’re really prepping to install and develop in 2024 and compete in 2025.

After a late night gym workout I'm willing to give this pick a chance. For all we know this dude might be a game changer at RB and another legit weapon for this offense. If he's the best RB I will take the experts word.

 

 

Amazing how a quick workout can change your whole vibe. I left angry at the pick lol. Now I'm cool.

 

The gym does wonders people stay healthy!

He looks like our new feature back than can run through you or around you, has hands, and is a home run threat. His ACL let us steal him where we did honestly.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
