Starts at the 6:15 mark of his latest videos.

Exact words were 

There were high end defensive guys that the team needed. What I thought and what coaches in that draft room thought. "That's not what we talked about a few hours ago."

They then go on to talk about how his visit and interview didn't go great with the Panthers and that they didn't get into T-Mac until late in the process. 

 

Steve then goes and calls him slow and the same thing that's already on the team and a bad fit.

Something tells me Kiper would willing gag on a certain Cleveland Browns rookie 5th rounder. 

That something being how he acted all weekend, and the A+ he gave the Browns draft (despite supposedly taking his boy two rounds later than another QB that he thought was inferior).

I think we hit it out of the park. The Falcons sold the farm to get 2 pass rushers and I can see a path where ours are just as good or if not better 

I was a fan of Jalon Walker until I started to think about how to use him.  

 

Quote

 

"On 1st and 2nd down, I want, especially Jalon, to really have an opportunity to just master playing on the edge because I think there's something there that's really special," Ulbrich said. "Give him an opportunity just to have one home initially and become as good as he can at that.

"Then, from a third down perspective, we can get creative with him and that'll be part of his superpower."

 

SI

I would be worried about how he is going to defend run plays and bigger more athletic linemen in the NFL as an Edge.  Pearce is intriguing. Needs to add some weight but the guy is extremely athletic with a high ceiling. Trading away your first rounder for a guy with character concerns is risky, but I guess they did their homework.

Exactly why I never liked the idea of taking Walker, just felt he was a bad fit as an OLB in a 3-4 at his size.  As an OLB in a 4-3 where he's more of an off ball LB and situational pass rusher he could be a really good player.  

But you don't take a 4-3 OLB at 8 in general, let alone when you run a 3-4 base, so I was just always against that idea even if he had gotten a #1 WR before the draft and wouldn't have been looking at T-Mac anyways.

Crazy, Steve Smith just said on his draft recap that talking to coaches on the team.. that T-Mac was a surprise to them because the talk earlier that day was defense first and not T-Mac. 


Well I guess we know who the leakers are.

I don't think any information is leaked out by accident when it comes to the draft, it's all purposeful except when a player does what XL does and tell the world what a team told them.

I'm not so sure when it comes to Smitty. He didn't say anything about what he heard til well after the draft. 

 

Also Smitty didn't completely hate picking WR so much as the one picked.

Think he had T-Mac ranked 5th among WR, 6th if you count Hunter.

NFL dot com gave us the 25th best draft class.

Fug them, they put Cleveland at 6 when they took, DT, Off ball LB, and RB, in that order plus 2 QBs and 2 RBs boy what a haul....

They rated us low because they didnt want us to have a WR.

Did you see his mock draft?

This man had Shedeur Sanders going 9th overall and us trading down to pick 12 to draft cornerback Jahdae Barron.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      The league would protect him.  The amount of poo Jerry Jones has had exposed and got away with?  The amount of poo Stephen Ross has got away with?  How long Dan Snyder got away with essentially fuging sex trafficking employees and poo???????  Taking down JR was a hit job.  You think the other 31 owners, especially the older ones aren’t blathering, blatant, ignorant ass, bigoted rich racists who have committed far worse things than Blue Jean Fridays?  The ones I named above have DEFINITELY did worse than what JR was accused of.  And do you think guys like Steve Smith would’ve been viewing him as a father figure if they felt that’s who he was?  JR pissed the league off with that last lockout situation and they made him pay.  They lined a new guy up to join their billionaire boys club in Tepper, and they prolly slid a pretty penny to Jonathan Jones to write the “expose,” to get JR out of here.  Again, all the owners I’ve listed above have been verified on record for doing worse poo, yet they’re still running their organizations, unquestioned.  They hand-picked Tepper long before JR was forced out, so he isn’t going anywhere.  Sadly.  fug the NFL.  (Also, to be clear, it’s always fug racism, bigotry, and sexual exploitation - not ever excusing it.  Just making the point that the NFL isn’t operating under this clear standard of justice applied to each and every case)

      I was still in the throes of a contentious divorce and my job at the time had me work on Sundays.  At the beginning of the season I tried to still work around Sundays so I could see our games.  I think after Bryce came back from the benching, I said fug it.  First time in my life I intentionally didn’t watch our games, even through the Atlanta finale.  In the past, even if we didn’t live up to expectations, I would watch to still support and at least analyze player development, strengths and weaknesses, coaching, etc., but Bryce makes all of that a moot point, so I stopped watching. Again, this is asinine,  it if he is retained (still can’t believe this is even a possibility of a conversation due to how shitty our organization has become under Tepper), I will NOT watch next season until he is gone.
