Might Be the Best Rookie Class We've had in a Long Time

- Tetairoa McMillan, Nic Scourton are slam dunk picks. 

Princely, Mitchel Evans, Lathan Ransom, Trevor Etienne have all looked solid and shown flashes . 

Wow. Hell of a game sealing play by Ransom today, great perfomance by Tmac and Scourton. 

Only other draft class in recent memory that remotely compares is 2021 with Jaycee Horn, Brady Chrsistensen, Tommy Tremble, and Chubba Hubbard.

distant 3rd and 4th place, 2017 with CMC and Moton, 2013 with Star and Short.

As a franchise we RARELY have had drafts were we hit on more than 2 picks.

If we can draft an A+ MLB and another very good defensive pass rusher, we will be in business next year.

One of the very key things is Mike Jackson has played so good, I don't think we need to waste a high round pick on a CB. We can use that for BPA pass rusher or MLB, hopefully.

concur on all.  I’ve been and still am really high on Princely, Ransom, and Etienne.  They all have special traits.  This whole class could end up being really good starter-level players for the next decade.  It’s damn impressive.
 

Until you said mentioned Motion was drafted in 2017, idk why it feels like he’s been here 15 years.🤣

Glad this class looks good cuz last year's looks horrible. The best player from that class was an undrafted rookie 

Yea man. Dan Morgan's best moves might arguably be

> The heist for Mike Jackson (7th round pick Michael Barrett to Seattle for Mike Jack)
> Getting Jalen Coker as a UDFA (Arguably our 2nd best WR and absolutely the best catcher on our team)
> Getting Ryan Fitzgerald as UDFA (who has made several clutch kicks this season and has played a huge role in us winning the most games since 2017). 

I'm on pins and needles waiting for him to get some legendary UDFA pass rusher next year . LOL.

Princely has done  a few good things but I still want more from him. I know it's hard for pass rushers to dominate in year 1 unless your name is Myles Garret, Julius Peppers, or someone of that caliber.  

That's why Scourton is impressing me so much. He's doing something impactful what feels like almost every game.

There's quite a few solid looking ones in this draft but nobody is really standing out besides Arvell Reese and Ruben Bain, they are probably going top 5 so we have no shot at them lol. Unless we trade up I guess.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
