I would like to think my opinion on here means something for players who's entire career I've watched.

I specifically called out Corvey Irvin as a bust when we drafted him.

this would be a Bad Draft Pick.

Why so? Also, who do you prefer?

Brockers never really did anything at LSU. There's a big reputation of the SEC as being this unstoppable conference, but outside of like 3-4 teams depending on the year, it's just like everyone else. Sure, half the top five comes from the SEC, but then you've got teams in the west like ole miss, miss state, auburn most years, etc.

He just didn't have the production you'd expect. Nothing like a Glen Dorsey for example.

It's mostly just the eye ball test. College stats are misleading, especially at the DLine position. He just doesn't pass it for me.

Well because his career at LSU was so short, could that not also be a reason you view him as having an "underachieving career"?

not sure a guy that was scouted as a 6'6 255lb LB, recruited as a 265lb DE and then redshirted so he could fill out his frame to 300+ pounds (not getting fat, btw) and learn a new position (DT) and went from just a rotational guy in his redshirt freshman year and then in his second year playing the position became a starter and seen as an anchor of the Dline by coaches and teammates and one of the best DTs in the nation could be considered an 'underachiever'.

and you're welcome for that monster run-on sentence.

if all you're doing is looking at a snap shot of last year and this year, then i can understand the hesitancy. if you put it into the broader context of what has been happening with this man-beast it's easy to see the excitement he has been garnering.

While I know there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that it would happen, but if we somehow got Claiborne 1st and Brockers hype-stock fell and he was there for our 2nd round pick, would you take him then? Or is he someone you don't like at any round?

Kiper and McShay talk about Brockers early in the video. He's their consensus "highest upside" pick, McShay says Still is his "biggest risk" pick.

i actually think that coples has the highest upside, but brockers is right up there. i think brockers has a better chance of reaching his upside, though...at least more consistently.

agreed about their thoughts on still and it kills me that i agree with them on much of anything.

oh well.

Look at the size and quickness though. You will see in time that this guy is the real deal.
yeah...no one is going to be drooling over the sled, but the jump and quickness he has is another thing.

that and that broad jump. although jarron gilbert had an impressive broad jump so....

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
