New draft crush....

That dude is a damn beast!

 

Not sure if he's realistic given our needs.

It just depends on the evaluations. I think he is a 1st round caliber guy but he isn't in most 1st round mocks. We will see what happens. If he makes it to us in the 2nd, I would sprint to the stage with that pick.

Tyler Warren is my new found draft crush. We don’t reach for him at 6 in the draft, but could there be a scenario where we trade back and acquire draft capital and land within the range he’s at…

I thought that was who this was going to be about.

 

He impressed me against SMU and then really stood out again against Boise. Can really block it seems and his size and hands is a real weapon receiving. 
 

Definitely not our biggest need, but kinda reminds me of the Bowers thing last year, if you get a chance to get a weapon like that. Plus if we traded back and could add a 2nd round pick.

I don't really see why people are still high on Carter, TBH. 

I mean he is the #1 prospect on the ESPN board.  Kiper and Fields both have him at #2.  Not hard to see why he is getting attention.  I just want them to vet his desire level once he gets paid but other than that he is an incredible athlete.

Kiper had Clausen ranked as the fourth best prospect in the entire 2010 NFL Draft even though most other draft pundits had the QB projected to go in the second round (Clausen was subsequently selected 48th overall by the Carolina Panthers). At the time, people accused Kiper of being biased since he and Clausen shared the same agent, Gary Wichard.

But Kiper only dug in his heels further, making this infamous proclamation on ESPN:


“If Jimmy Clausen is not a successful quarterback in the NFL, I’m done. That’s it. I’m out.”

Walker as a second round pick would be great. But only if we stay as 3-4. 

He would unlock brown as the UT and let teams have to decide to double in the middle of we go 4-3. Brown give us options to take a guy like walker. 

 

Then again I prefer grant to all. Think that size, power, quick twitch is top notch. He's not a flashy tactician and that's the real rub.

Watching the PSU vs Boise game, I came away wanting us to select Kaytron Allen at RB on day 3 of the draft. With Brooks’s injuries piling up, Allen looked like a solid add for our backfield, and he’s projected as a late round pick/UDFA where I looked.

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