Good to see some live action today.

Things I noticed:

Back 7 has the potential to be very, very good. If we can get pressure up front this will be a very stout pass D.

Team has a focus to it that you can feel. There's a palpable enthusiasm, but not much clowning around. Very encouraged by the attitude of the team.

Beason is a monster- daily reminder.

WR's look good as a group, particularly when running routes. Tolbert (WR coach) is very involved.

Huge emphasis on ST's, good thing after the Crossman disaster.

This team is FAST!

Louis Leonard looks to be in great shape, hope it translates to the field.

Hardy is very imposing, I think he'll do well.

Tank Tyler is a very large individual, I'm not worried about size at DT with he and Johnson.

Pike, to me, looks the worst at QB, you can tell he missed OTA's.

Moore's feet are as fast as Clausen's are slow.

Add more as I think of it.

Anything else on the QBs besides the fact that Moore is fast and Clausen is slow? Who is throwing the most picks? Either of the three backups showing they get the playbook yet? Any receivers sinking up better or worse with any of the QBs? Basically my questions all revolve around timing...

Moore looks like he is building chemistry with Edwards, I should have specified that.

Time is ok, there were some throws behind and they mostly came on crossing routes by Pike and Clausen.

Clausen just overthrew someone on a bomb up the sideline, better or taller WR might have had it, didn't miss by much.

Pike's motion looks long, particularly his arm. It looks like he may just be tenative having missed all offseason chances to throw.

Moore's reLease looks a little quicker than last season. I thought 2,3,14 all looked good for less than a week back at it. DB's weren't giving th QB's a lot to work with.

FB- no idea, they were opposite field for the few times I saw them.

Tattoorhino can tell you about a little known WR who had some really nice catches, but if they keep DJ it's hard to imagine home having a shot at the final 53.

I'll have some pics up in a bit, we're still in SC and I live 30 mins north of Charlotte.

Don't underestimate the secondary, they look like they're out to prove something.

Most completions we check downs, comebacks and crossing routes.

Add Beason roaming the middle....

No picks that I saw, thou Clausen had to scramble twice and Moore had to chuck it out of bounds at least twice.

Secondary will be the teeth of the D this year.

I agree, the Secondary will be fantastic this season.

Let's not forget this secondary is going up against rookie WRs and unproven WRs only. I think it could be very easy for them to look much better than they legitimately are. Steve Smith not being on the field is a bigger factor than I think we are admitting to ourselves.

Maybe the secondary is great.....or maybe there is no one to test how good they really are.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.

      Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
