The 84th time is the charm.

I will say I am less skeptical of Taylor than I am about XL.

They should be looking for crisp route runners that can get YAC or at least just crisp route runners. That's what Young needs, not big athletes that aren't really good at their job.

Well the range that Taylor is likely in is where you can make some gambles on guys like him(3rd/4th round). That is what I viewed XL as and so far he has been.

If we can't get McMillian early, WR needs to be a FA thing. Some big splash signing like Higgins or big trade for Wilson. Outside that, this draft does look like one I would expend the 8th pick or even our 2nd rounder on a WR. I know there will be guys that pop in the 2nd and 3rd but it's a crapshoot in this class, IMO

I don't know if they need a big splash, but they do need at least NFL average besides AT.

I meant to say WOULDN'T expend the 8th or 2nd.

I am fine getting an elite guy at WR like Higgins or Wilson. That is something we are not going to be able to draft because we don't have anyone in the building that knows how to evaluate WR talent.

Maybe they need to talk to college coaches and ask if guys they're interested in can run routes. Get the college guys drunk so they tell the truth or something.😁

That, or just go with production until they find someone that can evaluate WR talent.

WR's seem like a relatively simple evaluation. We just fug it up constantly.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
