Any idea why he wasn't more 'well-known' going into the draft?

He just gained 15 lbs to go from 255 to 270. He was a bit of a tweener at 255. He was, however, the conference Co-defensive player of the year. Not too shabby. I do not know why a player like Vinny Curry was hyped more.

Thanks guys... I saw some highlights of him and I believe every defensive snap he had one game and I was impressed.

Yes, I laughed and mocked Hurney for trading yet another early rounder for him initially, but when I watched some clips of him, he seems like a Rivera guy. Really quick, great hands/technique, seems like shedding blocks comes completely natural to him, and he is a playmaker.

The pick has really grown on me.

I agree, 100%.

Luke Kuechly is going to be expected to start day one.

Amini will take Wharton's old job immediately.

Frank Alexander will be rotational at first, but I could definitely see him taking Hardy's job eventually.

Joe Adams will contribute as a PR right away, and will also get some awesome looks in Chud's offense, and if he sticks to Smitty, he could be Smitty v2.0.

Josh Norman could eventually be our #2 corner. He's physical, strong, and plays up against the line.

Brad Nortman is obviously starting.

I like Frank Alexander but Hardy will be the starter for a long time. He is a lot better then people think on here.

Alexander can rotate in for both sides, and will play as much as a starter once he gets comfortable. Hardy is good, but in a contract year. That is why I see us keeping 5 DEs. Norwood is gone, but Keiser and Applewhite should stick.

The same thing was said about Kealoha Pilares last year.

The same thing was said about Kealoha Pilares last year.

Pilares returned a grand total of 5 punts for a grand total of 31 yards in four years of college with 0 touchdowns. Joe Adams returned 61 punts for 570 yards in four years of college with 5 touchdowns. For comparison's sake, Devin Hester returned 41 punts for 638 yds in three years of college with 4 touchdowns.

Not much of a comparison.....

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
