Resign: Jason Phillips OLB, the Geoff's OL, Derek Anderson QB.

FA's: Wesley Woodyard OLB, Antonio Garay DT.

Christmas in April

1. Dre Kirkpatrick CB, Alabama

2. Andre Branch DE, Clemson

4. Winston Guy Jr. FS, Kentucky

5. Russell Wilson QB, Wisconsin

5. Hebron Fangupo DT, BYU

6. Marquise Maze WR/KR, Alabama

7. A kicker i don't know.

With our first two picks we get arguably two top three guys at their Positions. Couple reasons i put Dre above JJ, Gilmore, or whoever you like.

He is a winner. Alabama's defense stonewalled LSU and the guys on that defense Chapman, Dre, Barron and Upshaw are being underrated. Second pick is a DE we can develop. He has the physical skills he needs coaching.

Guy Jr is a big 215lb safety who tackles well and plays the run. Goodbye Martin. A lot of folks like Wilson on here and i do too. But i do not think he will last to where people are projecting him. Loni Fangupo got a late start in football but is huge and powerful. 36 reps and 320 some odd pounds. Fang would put Fua on notice. Like Branch he will need some grooming but could be young Kemoatu. Marquise is another winner from the Alabama squad. Leading receiver, go to guy, leader who also returned punts and kicks. In other words a selfless football player who simply makes the plays when they need to be made. AE and Pilares do not be surprised if Mr. Maze takes your job.

Andre Branch's straightline speed makes him ideal for the right side in a Jim Johnson style defense. People that have said Dre Kirkpatrick would be better in a zone forget that the JJ 4-3 relies on the zone blitz. Branch has shown me more than Jones. Branch looked like a Eagles DE when he breaks hard inside and attacks the C-Gap. This shows smarts and quickness. Jones needs to work on his pad level more. Not a natural bender, needs to work on leverage cause it seems he is always the higher man when i watch him. Sorry he plays to upright it worked in college cause of his strength and length. Also it goes back to my WINNER strategy. The Orangemen had a cupcake schedule. Clemson on other hand played a murderers row of Auburn, SC, plus the much tougher, better than Big Least ACC.

Don't like Wilson in the 5th considering we have much bigger needs.

Yeah, a backup that can run our offense who is not 30plus is not a big need. But it is a need. Derek Anderson could play but he is not a scrambler. Wilson would allow us not to change our scheme, god forbid Super Cam gets a hold of some Kryptonite. Jimmy is DONE. Cut bait. We are gonna need a guy to develop. Also in the long term if we can acclimate Wilson to our offense and he performs well in preseason and spot duty his trade value could increase.

Why does Anderson need to scramble? That's just an added bonus for Cam. Anderson or an undrafted FA will do just fine. I am not sure why we need to develop Wilson, it's not like Cam is old.

Just don't see the value in selecting a QB in the 5th round, regardless of who it is.

Undrafted FA? Sorry not to keen on that type of project. If it makes you feel better move Hebron up and with the second 5th maybe we can find a developmental TE. Cause i love me some Shockey but unless he is cheap i would rather see what we have in Barnridge.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER....

How great would Kirkpatrick have been without a supporting cast that features about 7-9 future NFL players, including Barron and Upshaw?

How well have DEs from Clemson performed in the NFL?

Who is I dont know? Nevermind, I am sure he would be an upgrade at K.

    • 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.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
