Its a 6 winish season, hes not going to be 100% for a while, should have just got a center or pass rusher or whatever and drafted a rb next year

We gave up our 2nd rounder and 2 5th round picks to the Colts to draft a RB coming off November ACL surgery. I like Brooks he has some Jamaal Charles to his game but this was very risky pick.

We do have a 2nd next year left over from all that.

If this guy is legit I don’t mind him missing the first few games. It is a long season. 

I wanted a top C too but just didn’t think it was a thing they were going to do so I guess I am not that frustrated over it. Edge rusher would’ve been nice but what was there I don’t remember.

Kid is only 20 years old. Without the ACL, he’s probably a first rounder. If he’s goes back to school another year, that’s probably the case as well.

Instead, he came out this year while  the competition at the position was weak and he ended up being the first RB anyway. Even if he didn’t play at all this year, that’s essentially swapping the mid-second we used on him for the future first he would have been. 

Put in that context, give him all the time he needs. This year should be about developing him into a complete nfl-level back.

I liked Brooks but I actually liked Trey Benson more and he's healthy and went in the third.  I'm sure it won't matter in the long term though Brooks will be fine.  Doesn't feel great when your first rounder tweaks their hammy the first week and your 2nd rounder isn't as far along in their recovery as they had hoped.   Things could have definitely went better for mini camp.

The fact is they should never have drafted Brooks. It was a luxury pick and deserves every bit of the crap fans are giving it. Not a surprise and not a good pick for the team. Injured project RB is still injured so big shock about a guy who wasn't ready to play much if healthy anyways, he needs work at this level. Just wait until the OG at center goes down again. Then we can talk about all the centers or OGs (since apparently that's an easy switch to make) we could have had playing at that point. 'But a rookie is too risky at center for Bryce but an injured project RB in the 2nd makes so much sense for the future.' An investment in the future? How about an investment in this season between the millions they spent on OGs with the current hole in between them.

Wait, so this is all about Canales saying Brooks has a "little bit a ways to go" they will "progresss them in to camp"?

No poo....he had an ACL injury 7 months and 1 day ago. Revovery is typically 9 to 12 months so this is obvious.

That's a bit different narrative they were pushing after the draft.  That he would be ready for training camp

We drafted him knowing he's not going to play right away. This was a pick for the future. We still have Chuba  and Sanders for this year anyway, so him playing isn't critical. I suspect we won't see him play till mid-season.

No coach has lasted longer than 3 seasons under Tepper.  I guess Dave and Dan are stocking the cupboard for their future replacements?

      What we had then, what we have now...

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
