Draft Philosophy

Like Gman said

The big guys allow you to play.

You can't run a proper offense if Cam is staring at the sky or RB's are hit as soon as they touch the ball. Same with the D, does not matter how fast the LB's are if they have a 330 lb G attached to their chest.

I am good with it too. I was joking a little about it seeming like a Hurney draft just because he took the D2 lineman and a running back but I couldn't be happier with the first two picks and I understand the others. We will see if he is right about our secondary and then maybe next year he could build the offensive line from the draft

Kugbila is coming in to play. Think about some of the guys we started on our line last year...He has more talent than most of them. Kalil was out, Bell missed a couple, and Hangartner missed some games. Just go back and look at some of our games. We played a ton of players last year that don't belong in the NFL. We kept a pretty healthy set of skill players on offense.

If you're one of those people who believes games are won and lost in the tranches and you build the foundations (OL / DL ) to win, then you should be pretty happy.

If you're a skill position guy, then not so much.

So your basically asking who knows football and who does not.

I think the nice thing is there is a transparent philosophy.

Gettleman is going all in on his Hog-Molly and he is honest about it. I'm buying in.

Unless we start losing again then I will bitch.

See I'm transparent too.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
