XL honestly looks like a loss cause to me. Might explain more why we took Tet at 8

I mean, I think they still want to attempt to develop him but the pursuit of Higgins should have been the dead giveaway that they probably now view him as a long term project, at best. I think that is accurate.

Kiper KOD for poor Matt Golden.

I did too.  Cincy might take a CB or Bama LB Campbell.  It is going to be difficult for Morgan to wait through 20 somethng picks in the second.  I think he will trade up a bit.

Morgan kept talking about Tet’s hands and body control, things that XL struggled with

I mean.....our best WR has consistently been a guy WAY slower than Tet with exceptional hands. At the end of the day, that 40 time doesn't mean a damn thing if you can't catch the ball.

The CB's dropping are wild. This is a pretty deep class there, although perhaps loaded with a lot of scheme specific players.

Wasn't big on him when we drafted him, but the dude has no idea how to run a route. Rounds off most of his in/out routes and has no clue where to get open against zone coverage 

I wasn't big on him either but I didnt think he looked that bad to write him off so soon.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
