Injuries happen but the concussions are worrisome, any TBI is since you can't actually see the injury or repair it like an ACL. After the 1st they come easier. I've had 4 myself. I do know that my bell gets rung much easier now than it did. All we can do is hope he can stay healthy. 

Concussions will always be an issue with a contact sport.  And yeah, concussions suck, also speaking from experience.

Yup, that's about how I've been mocking it of late, specifically like this If I can get it to work out without forcing it:

RD1: LT

RD2: CB/LB

RD3:LB/CB

RD4: C/WR

RD5: WR/C

RD5b: LB (yes double dipping)

RD6: S/RB

 

RD1: BPA

RD2: BPA

RD3: BPA

RD4: BPA

RD5: BPA

RD5b: BPA

RD6: BPA

End of 9th page. Posting now. Will read the rest later. 

This is a fantastic signing. He is absolutely an impact player. Meaning he impacts every snap.  He has to be accounted for by the offense. 

This is a great addition for the defensive line,  and pass rush. 

The contract is what is average for a starting caliber pass rusher in the NFL.  So the contract doesn't bother me at all. 

Injuries? This is the NFL.  Hold your breath for every player in the league if you want to. 

Yep - if you see a guy that can create enough impact on a snap-to-snap basis, you take him.  Impact is the key word for us this year.  Less about patching in likely-journeymen on their second contracts.  The Wonnums, Jones Jrs, of the world.

And the contract is Hines-Allen/Burns/Sweat territory.  Still behind all the elite guys and those are all year-plus old contracts anyways.  

This is VERY close to Nick Bonito's contract at the start of 2025 season.

I gues# he went to Miami. Morgan keeps tabs with his old program. He was probably very familiar. 
 

Those concussions though, very worrisome. 

Funnily enough, nobody currently at Miami coached him - that was Manny Diaz's staff. 

Morgan is close with Cristobal, but he wouldn't have been able to give him a recommendation.

Oof, I can't get on board with Sadiq.  I like Rodriguez.  Sadiq is an athlete playing TE. I want a complete TE that happens to be a pretty good athlete.

Well I like Evans and believe him to be more what you prefer so I guess let it ride and BPA

Forgive me but I don’t get the Most Ickey hate, does he let about 2 blow by him a game? Yes. But I’ve been around for much much worse and I thought our OLine played admirably last year with all the flip flopping.

I think the Ekwonu hate is because he's had an incredibly serious, potentially career ending, knee injury.

I get that but the hate was around way beforehand. We aren’t gonna have superstars at every position guys.

That said I do hope we sign Decker.

Probably people were leery of giving him a big money extension.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
