Has she told us WHY she thinks this?  She may have, but I dont recall or didnt see it

I would like for her to react to Morgan's comments about drafting productive college players.  Does she she Mykel as "productive?"

I think he had one less sack than Jalon playing in a position that is much harder to get them. He also has previous seasons with some production as well. No one at UGA is getting a large number of sacks.

I am going to trust them.  I see why they might have drafted XL (I did not want him)  but he had 1 season of production and we all knew he was raw.  Brooks was in rehab---in my view, first year GMs do not need to roll the dice like that---take the sure bets in round 1-gamble later.

I agree, but I’m not sure there are many sure bets in this draft.

It’s Walker

Most likely with an outside chance of his teammate Williams.  Anybody other than those two would absolutely shock me at #8 (unless Graham falls).  If somehow we manage to move out of that spot, all bets are off.

I'm thinking:

Walker-80%

Williams-14%

Graham-1% (solely based on availability)

Who’s the remaining 5%?

it seems split on whether or not we like Walker or Williams at pick 8 tbh 

It really doesn't seem all that split to be honest. Kinda felt that way a month or so ago but all the recent smoke has been pointing toward Walker > Williams. Does that actually mean anything? I guess we'll know soon enough.

Honestly kinda hoping for just a massive curveball pick out of the blue just to enjoy the Huddle reaction. LOL

Be careful what you wish for.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
