Don't think we fuged up at all. We need an X WR. You can not sign one in FA, trading for any of them worth a damn is too costly. You basically have to draft one. 

 

Big fan of this move. There were major questions marks with any defensive prospect we took at 8

I still don’t get the love for Jalon Walker.  In my opinion it was somewhat sheep mentality following what every one else wanted for us.  I like the kid and think he’s an overachiever but his production was not top 10 worthy. I could only see him as a rotational piece with Wonnum, Clowney and Patrick Jones. Walkers range was 15 to 25 in my opinion. Glad we stuck to our board.

I think he is a scheme specific fit. I didn't think that fit was with Evero.

Their history of failure drafting edge rushers is working against them but the fact that lots of Panthers fans wanted Walker and we passed with a division rival drafting him it just feels destined that he's the next coming of LT. LOL

Watch some UGA games and see who jumps off the screen on D.

they paid a heavy heavy price in a draft that is flat talent wise at dline after the first few picks. I would argue they didnt get great value and Pearce will neve live up to his price.

Scoring and Front-7 is what gets you to win games. We still needed firepower. 

Regarding McMillan - where I’m at is getting excited. Many were willing to take gambles on front-7 guys with serious question marks whether physically, skill wise or off the field concerns.

And if a guy has the elite hands and plays well in traffic, that helps with the separation. He’s not as physical as London but he’s got some finesse to his game. Played super well in a crazy year for that program and poor QB play. I think he has a really high floor, interested to see how good he could be.

Pearce Jr is going to be a bust. I cant believe they gave up their 1st next year for him. Walker will probably be a menace against us an average player overall in my opinion

I have seen a few UGA games and I like him a lot.  Walkers size against elite NFL tackles create questions. Questions that made me uncomfortable. I don’t think you should draft question marks in the top 10. If you have another player with a similar grade, take the other player. 

 

I am a little nervous about Walker and Pearce going to the Falcons. Seems like our luck they will ball out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
