He has UDFA tape for his 1/2 down plays at ILB.

That’s a stretch. He was much better in zone and took on spy responsibilities well this past season. If you’re talking 2023 he had some growing pains but what he was asked to do with UGA translates to a diverse role in the NFL. Nolan Smith in ways - Eagles started playing him more off all this past year along with edge work and it turned out nicely.

They will move him around to all 4 LB positions, hes not just an edge

If the Panthers are on the clock and Sanders is in the green room, probably fuming with his daddy, does Pittsburgh call?  (They do not have a second rounder).  Does Cleveland attempt to move back up and grab a QB?  It would cost them 33, 67, 94 and a 2026 second rounder. 

Or do you take Jalon Walker? 

 

Everybody’s been screaming for a trade-down all off-season. If they can an offer this way, they should take it

Both mocks on Walter Football now have Shedeur falling to 33.  Once the first two teams pass on him in the first round, the bottom could fall out.  Who will trade up to catch a falling knife?

We certainly tried with Clausen back in the day.

The trade scenario I thought of was with Membou and the Seahawks at 8. They’ve expressed strong interest in him. 

If the Walker buzz is as strong as rumored, Membou (or maybe Campbell) could be the odd man out there at 8. NO, CHI, MIA plenty of teams need OL ahead of SEA and they have a ton of picks. 

We get 18 and one of their seconds at min. This year may not be as good a return as other years but the player value could hold — we still end up with Ez/Mykel/Tet/etc. at 18.

Ok. You’re entitled to your opinion. I think he’ll be primarily a Jack they move inside on obvious passing downs to either blitz or spy. Still doesn’t put him as even a “ILB hybrid” for me, because you basically still need a two down starter at Mike or Will outside of Walker.

I think you make fair points and it’s good convo. Walker’s big ability is disrupting the passer right now, so naturally, his role should be primarily an edge at the onset.  I could have framed it in a better way that wasn’t as off-ball centered.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
