I can say this with a certainty. It is going to be fun to watch the battling for one maybe 2 spots. If Hixon is signed. Make it 1 spot. I think one guy will really show off. I hope it is Gettis.

Each player has their reason why we retain them. I also like Pilares.

AE is odd man out. I think every player in this group has something over him. He had is chance and one big play in 3 years is just not enough to give him a leg up. I think that play was an OMG they actually threw it to him, play.

From what I've read, the agenda for Hixon's actual visit is tomorrow. He only arrived in town today.

Could be news tomorrow. I'm hopeful, but I'm not holding my breath.

Let's hope. If we sign him, the easier for us to go BPA in the 1st, and safe WR for the 2nd round if we really have to.

I know I'll get some argument, but I think it's quite possible that BPA at our spot might actually be a receiver (Tavon Austin, to be specific).

I agree actually, I'm just saying if someone falls unexpectedly(like Star), it'd be nice to be able to draft multiple positions and not be cringing at our selection of WR. I really do think Tavon might be the pick though, and honestly I expect us to actually draft 2 WR. We've been looking at too many mid round prospects to think we'll only get one.

I'll be honest, I'm not in love with Austin as a prospect. Yes, his speed and explosiveness is intriguing. But, measuring in at 5'8" at the NFL Combine worries the hell out of me. Yeah, yeah, I know... Smitty is 5'9" blah, blah, blah. But Smitty is Smitty. He may be 5'9", but he's strong as an ox and has a ridiculous vertical. He plays a lot bigger than 5'9".

I'd be nervous drafting a 5'8" WR at #14. Especially with a big armed QB who tends to miss high when he misses.

DeAndre Hopkins is the WR I want.

Smitty is smitty because he was given the time to develop after no coach wanted to give him a chance at wr because of his height. The same can be the case for austin, he may just need time to develop into a smitty type of player.

At this point I'd actually rather wait and take Quinton Patton in the 2nd and go DT or OL in the 1st. I just feel the value is better. Plus, I don't expect Patterson will be there at 14 and I'm not entirely sold on Tavon Austin.

I'd take Austin over Patterson. Patterson completely terrifies me. So, so raw.

O-Line in the first isn't a popular option here.

Obviously, I'd be okay with it :)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.

      I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
