Are we the only team that press releases our first round pick every year? Am I crazy or is this a serious problem?

Exactly, we got some major LEAKS it’s kinda scary. Not a good look at all, look no further then the Bills forcing our hands last year to trade up when the entire league knew Leggette was our target.

At this point you have to assume it's by design. We've fired and hired multiple head coaches hired a new GM. What's the remaining constant? David Tepper. Also bare in mind the XL pick was tipped way before the week before the draft anyways. Bryce Young's own father was lobbying for him on twitter. This goes way beyond just not being able to keep a lid on things. This is the way our organization operates for better or worse and it's how things have been since ownership changed. Tepper might not be front and center anymore but nothing behind the scenes has changed. People might as well reconcile with that now.

I'm glad we only have to wait a few hours until the draft starts, and then a few more hours to get to the 8th pick.

Then they go to commercials cone back just in time for the Saints pick

This draft has so much talent on defense it would be silly to reach for a skill player at 8

all depends.   When and where you pick.   I mean there is a lot of comparable edge talent IMO that will go on for a long time in this draft.  To me, that doesn’t mean you just draft edge talent.  Who is there? What does your team look like. 

you can compete and win with good offense and bad defense in today’s NFL.  We still have to fix our offense.  It doesn’t work the other way around the same 

I don’t want a team with the 30th ranked pass attack going in saying they have their minds set on a defense heavy draft.   That’s not actually managing it the way I want me team.  Take largely BPA that makes sense…..and factoring what the overall draft offers.   I think edge at 8 is a weak option given the other edge options this draft offers elsewhere and the edge talent at 8 being not crazy different than later.

Everyone in the playoffs were in the top half of the league in scoring defense

Two OT’s may be taken in the top 8 picks.  If one of the two falls to pick 8, that could be your BPA.

It will depend on how the weigh him against their best defensive player. He would have to be rated higher on their board for them to take him instead.

Verge is reporting the walker interest is a giant smokescreen

A smokescreen in order to draft someone (Williams) nobody in the top 10 is going to touch. That's not really how smokescreens work.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕

      Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things….and very much gets into why the middle school QB doesn’t fit
