I think you need to prepare yourself for when he doesn't get selected to Carolina.  

Oh I've long been prepared for it as I know the odds of any team drafting one specific player is very low.

And a small part of me wants him to be drafted before us anyways, just as that would be easier to swallow than us possibly passing on him.  

But both of those things aside, prepare yourself to be wrong on him, as that one I'm certain you will be.

Honestly if he goes somewhere else and balls out I won't care

I don't envision a scenario where we take Tet at #8 and we improve the team as a whole.  We need to maneuver our draft to build the D-line and LB room.

Pull off some Free agency magic and then I'd consider Tet at #8.

I see more value trading back to the teens and picking up an additional 2nd.

I could see it very easily happening. Defensive line is a strength of this draft class with I think I saw 24 or so draftable prospects which points to a lot of depth at our biggest need. If you can get an elite player who ranks ahead of the defenders available or have equal grades why not get the guy at the weaker position in the draft and get some of the guys not to far off in the next round jack Sawyer those type prospects on day 2.

I thought it wasn't all about the stats? 

It's definitely not all about stats.. there is always some projecting and you draft for traits.. walker is a unique situation tho because he's a tweener.. he's a inside outside linebacker where he wasn't a full time pass rusher or a full time inside linebacker. When taking a guy like that I would like to see some evidence of what I'm getting.. are you a like kuchely type player or are you Parsons?

I just need to see his athletic testing to get more comfortable with him. He runs some freakish 4.3 or 4.4 and I will become his biggest fan.

Good points--and if he can play both, great.  I am liking a few edges who are at 280 and can move inside to a 5T for the same reason...but you need to make sure the scheme does not take a player away from his primary skill set--your point.  I think walker is an Edge right now.

His highlight reel shows he is a do it all type player.  Just a talented guy that can play all over ie Parsons.  I think he is an immediate 3 down player that is still young and will only get better.  He is making some insane plays agains the best players in the country.   If a team passes on him because they dont know how to use them then they are morons because this kid has it all.

You see him shredding centers, left and right tackles and playing in space and making big time plays in the process.  Carter may be leaps and bounds better as a pass rusher but not in the overall game imo

I think our pursuit of DK in the trade signals more urgency for finding a #1 WR instead of by committee.  I'm thinking the likelihood of drafting McMillan just increased significantly.

That and us being quoted as going hard for defense  in free agency. I'd also add I think Warren makes as much sense as Tet. Warren gives you a receiver, blocker and he even runs out the backfield at 6'6 265.... a weapon I would love if we do address defense heavy  in free agency.

Nothing wrong with being a man of your convictions ha. I don’t watch college football but a couple of your posts made me check out about 10 mins of highlights and read an interview, 4.5 40 at /quick for his size with the route running and hands/catch radius…he’s a badass IMO. if rumors are correct and we’re going big FA on the D then go ahead and get Bryce a dude.

Cheers let’s go baby!

He's a slower, skinnier Kelvin Benjamin 2.0. Can't separate in college and sure as hell won't in the nfl. But go ahead a draft him as your #1 wr and see how that works out. 

The two of them couldn’t be any more different of players, literally the only thing about them that is remotely similar is that they are tall, that’s it

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
