I know that some folks are probably not interested in anything they have to say after the recent mock collab with NFLStockExchange where they traded a ton of assets to move up to #3 and select Abdul Carter, but for those looking for any and all type of draft content, here's their lists

  • Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
  • Kevin Winston Jr, S, Penn State
  • Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
  • Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
  • Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
  • Josaiah Stewart, EDGE, Michigan
  • Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
  • Jahdae Baron, CB, Texas
  • Shaun Dolac, LB, Buffalo
  • Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon

Honorable Mentions

  • (EJ) Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
  • (EJ) Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
  • (EJ) Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
  • (EJ) Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia
  • (EJ) Elijah Williams, DT, Morgan State
  • (Brett) JT Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio St
  • (Brett) Chris Paul Jr, LB, Ole Miss
  • (Brett) Billy Bowman Jr, S, Oklahoma
  • (Brett) JJ Pegues, DT, Ole Miss
  • (Brett) Collin Oliver, EDGE, Oklahoma State

 

I love the Shaun Dolac shout out. He has done nothing but produce numbers at Buffalo that I've followed for the last couple of seasons.

Harmon and Norman-Lott fan. Think both go much higher than anticipated.

Harmon could sneak to the low 20s, maybe late teens. Norman-Lott a high second. Would love him if he were there at 57

I think Harmon might just be the best 3-tech in this class 😮

Not only that, but he has a very balanced toolset against the run and pass. Scheme versatile, real trench warrior. Very much a Steelers/Ravens target IMO. 

Has tested well to back up a strong final season at Oregon.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
