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.

Calling out players production on a stacked defense is just so misguided. Its nowhere near that simple.

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

Im not saying its Walker for sure but theres been zero evidence whatsoever presented to say its Williams. They don't need a smokescreen and haven't met with him.

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)

LOl, good catch, bump Williams to 19%.

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.
