What a weird draft. We could have NO QBs, 1 DB, and NO WRs taken in the top 16. On the other hand, 3 LTs, 2 Gs, and 4 DEs (Moore, Werner, Ansah, Mingo) could go in the first half of Round 1.

Unusual. However, I expect Smith (QB) to go to Buffalo or NYJ and Patterson to go to Miami or Carolina.

It'd shock me.

PERHAPS he could run a 4.5 when he's in peak shape. Not when he's trying to play LT in the NFL though.

While it would surprise me to see a guy that size run a 40 that fast it wouldn't be overly shocking because he's always been extremely athletic. Doesn't matter because he ran in the 4.7's...

I was thinking the same thing. Didn't know who he was but I like what I'm seeing so far.

The explosion on the 40 really caught my eye and the guy is built like a truck. Supposedly on tape he doesn't bend like he should that's what was said on air I may have to look into it because my lord he looks like a monster.

Color me crazy, but I'm actually very intrigued by Vance McDonald. I know we need line help, I know it's probably not going to happen (most likely shouldn't happen), but could you imagine two TE sets with Olson and this kid?

We could run or pass easily, run the no-huddle with this as a base package, impose our will. The comparisons to Witten don't hurt at all, and the kid has the size and strength of a lineman without the weight. We could pick him up in the first, then a solid guard in the second. It's probably a 5% chance at best this happens, but don't rule it out either.

And yeah, I've been clamoring for months now that we need OL or DL help first and foremost. But I just can't help thinking about this scenario.

Tj Johnson absolutely kicking ass in the kick shuffle drill. About as impressive as Joe Thomas was. He and Joeckel went back to back and it was like watching a turtle vs rabbit in comparison. Warmack has been as advertised. And Lane Johnson seems to be outperforming his team mate Joeckel in about everything. Poor performance imo from someone expecting to go first.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
