OK I slept on it, the sky isn't falling...

Clausen was a smart pick, value wise. we needed depth at the QB position, and there was the second best QB prospect sitting in our lap waiting to be drafted. There's no gaurantee that Moore won't suck, even if we all hope our hardest. good insurance plan in clausen. I still hate him though.

LaFell was a good pick. has the potential to be Moose 2.0. big strong kid who is a great blocker, what we were looking for. i understand why we drafted him, even though i wanted future pro bowler taylor price.

but the edwards pick was stupid, in my honest opinion. we gave up too much to draft a 5th round talent in the late 3rd round by giving up a possible early second round pick. those numbers don't make sense. we could have waited till today and traded up to get him. maybe trade next years third to get into the early 4th, that's not much of a stretch. I hope he does well but i never see him living up to the value we traded away to get him.

Edwards is a beast on the field. Many don't like what we gave up and feel that the Patriots raped us since we wanted him.

I look forward to seeing what he can do on special teams as a return man and see the upside in his potential. He might not have the experience but he certainly has the athletic ability and intangibles to be a gamechanger if he gets on the field.

I didn't particularly want Clausen but see the value in where he fell and he is a good fit for our type of offense.

It looks like we might have a second coming of Moose. I am uncertain but certainly more invigorated now than I was before.

Now let's see what they do on defense....I am in a B minded range.

I feel the same way. I was pretty upset last night, but today I feel a little better. The LaFell pick was the one that I disliked the most.

But if he can work out like he did in college, then maybe he can help the team. Let's just hope we find a contributor with our fourth round pick.

I think he'll need opening day of the season to change his mind about Edwards. Of course, on opening day, our minds may change a lot on any draft choice.

I mean, I really didn't think much of Captain Munnerlyn until I saw him play. Now, I'm really glad we have him. Of course, I thought Shelton was a good draft pick once upon a time, too. We know how that panned out.

I understand he's a beast on the field... as a QB... We have no idea what he can do at Receiver because he's never played it before. for all we know he's Keary Colbert 2.0 and can't catch anything thrown at him.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
