Is it fairly obvious to anyone else....

No, I would not have traded up for him. I am not sure how he will pan out in the NFL, but I think the gamble and the price was too high.

That move shouldhave been a luxury gamble that a stacked team would make. We had legitimate needs that should have been addressed.

I was just saying that he would not have lasted to the 5th-7th rounds like some people here keep saying.

I might have stretched it when I said 7th round, but trading up to get him was retarded. I thought it was when it happened and I am pretty damn convinced that is was this morning. Even his body language on the field looks strange. I don;t know if he is scared, unsure of himself, or both, but he looks out of place.

It was painfully obvious to me they threw in that wrinkle to justify keeing him on the 53 man roster though he really shouldn't be. Edwards is no better than practice squad fodder right now. However, the brass doesn't have the grapes to cut him with the local ties and especially the asinine stock they got tied up into him in the slim chance some team does snag him from the PS.

I'm not an App State alum but I do like Edwards and the pick. As long as they don't throw the baby out with the bath water. :o

I liked the idea that (1) they were willing to use AE & that formation at any time during the game and (2) defenses have to plan for it anytime AE is on the field. I do believe it will work differently with our 1st string offense on the field. Whether it sells tickets or not, idk. That it forces defenses to plan against it, I do care about.

Armanti also seemed to gain confidence during the game with that. Did better at WR & PR too. Hell of an arm.

He's too much of a project to keep him on the 53 man roster. That said the staff has to justify tying up a spot for a suspect WR and KR, thus the mout-a-***** package.

You couldn't possibly be more wrong about a spot on the roster. Let me guess, Tarheel fan, right?

So you'd waste a roster spot on Armanti? Let me guess, App State fan, right?

I'd rather use the roster spot for a damn kick off specialist than on Armanti. Armanti needs to spend some time in the film room, the weight room and in front of the jugs machine catching balls.

Really? Do you think if he had been taken in the 5th round he'd still be rushed lin these crash courses ike this? The kid is athletic, nothing amazing (his abilities have been over-hyped) and is learning new positions a the NFL level . You can honestly say he's earned a spot. Mountaineer fan right?

The problem with selling these last few tickets is that is for people like me who will definitely be at the game but will not pay $57 per ticket to sit in the top corner of the upper deck when I can get much lower seats in the upper deck for $40 or lower level seats for the same price by scalping or stubhub or some other place. The online sites and scalping do a much better job of basing it off the market. Bucs game should be cheaper than $57 a ticket for upper deck but all the games the seats are the same price.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
