GBN Draft report Senior Bowl Practice Report


MHS831

Recommended Posts

From what I saw on NFL Network, this nails it.

A few comments: If most of these tackles project to NFL guards, it makes sense to take one in the fourth round or so. It may also make sense to take a LT when you are picking in the top half of the first round. I see a guy like OT Jordan Sims and think, "RG, maybe? hmmm."

Aaron Dobson could be the sleeper WR. Reminds me of Moose a little.

JJ Wilcox from Georgia Southern might make a good late round SS/special teamer.

note the comment about CBs in the middle of the second round. I see a bunch of trades during the second round for that reason. Why was Poyer not "all practice team?" He was Robbed.

I do not see a QB in this draft who can start day 1.

Larry Warford is pretty appealing at G.

Margus Hunt proved what I was saying---his bowl game heroics was just due to a personnel mismatch, not representative of himself as a player. 3rd round talent at best, nothing more.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
