they praised godfrey and martin when most people on this board bash our safeties. Both played corner in college and I think, considering they're both still young and learning to play safety at a high level, we do not need to address safety necessarily as a necessity this offseason.

I've been on eof those that have given Godfrey a hard time, but I've been a Martin fan since his first start last year... But, I have to admit, Godfrey has gotten himself together since about midway through the season. Besides getting trucked by Hillis, he's been in position and helped out his corners, which is what he seemed to constantly mess up before, so I know he's picked it up.

If he keeps his level of play up, we should have a good defensive backfield for years to come because I know Martin is a baller, both have shown ball skills and the ability to come up and hit... It was just a matter of Godfrey getting his coverage/help over top consistent IMO.

a lot of the questions about clausen i had to say no to. i don't think the guys on the team look at him as a leader. i don't think that steve smith respects him. i don't think that clausen demands that respect. it may be a couple years before he gets to that point and i'm not sure that it's anywhere close to a given that he will reach that point. i see him as just a kid whose out of his element in a mans world. in his head he's still stuck in college and it seems like he really wishes he was still there.

a lot of the guys that really do well as a rookie or who have a lot of potential that can bee seen as a rookie have that ability to realize that they are in a another place, in another situation and make the jump. they quickly command and get the respect of their teammates. their presence is known immediately and you know their head is in it. i just don't get that with clausen. ryan had it. manning had it. looks like bradford has it. luck has it. it's all about the intangibles that they come to the table with.

How is getting trucked by Hillis a problem if your safety is the first guy to touch a RB it's a breakdown of the defense. Hillis had a full head of steam no defensive back even Sean Taylor will come out on top the majority of the time.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
