Wonder what the character concerns are? Must be major for teams to drop him all together

Well, if you read the quote the one guy does say they are very strict at his franchise.

Something to keep an eye on, though. If he is your guy, he might drop and be available in a trade down.

The Draft Network has positional standout articles, as well. 

 

Overall, I really want to get more top 60 or 90 picks. This class seems VERY deep, although possibly lacking many elite guys.

This would be a great class to get a TE, DT/NT, DE/EDGE, RB, LB, CB, etc. Lots of options available for us.

Very heavily leaning towards trading down to get more 2nd and 3rd round picks.

And this is why I utterly despise the combine

I don't understand changing your opinions on players based on them performing non football drills without pads and that being the differentiator in your opinion of a player over 3-4 years of game tape on them.

Like I've said before, the combine made more sense a few decades ago when there weren't a hundred HD cameras at every college game, so you get multiple angles of every snap of every player, over the course of their full career.  It allowed you to compare players with each other when you didn't have access to all of that dedicated tape on each player.  

The only thing the combine is good for these days is the interviews and letting teams interview hundreds of players in person without needing to fly around the country for weeks on end.  The actual on field drills are nothing more than TV fodder for fans to watch and networks to sell commercial time to make money.

The combine athletic testing removes weird variables and offers an extra data point if you're trying to weigh conflicting indicators.

Case in point: Shemar Stewart had 39 pressures. Good! He converted only 1.5 into sacks. Bad! Why might that have happened? Does he lack burst to close on the QB? Enter the combine, which answers: he does not. 

Now, everyone knew that he was a good athlete. But "he's definitely going to be the best athlete every time he steps on the field" is new info and I don't see why it wouldn't change your opinion of him at all.

Also, man, it was dumb taking a torn ACL RB in the 2nd last year with the RB depth in this deep draft class this year. Really dumb. Could have had a stud CB or C instead and grabbed a complimentary RB on day 3 who can actually play in 2025.

We should take a RB this year. Thia class is bananas.

    • I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  
    • We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.     
    • Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
