A Ted Ginn type does us little good if Bryce’s deep ball is actually weak

Sorry, I'll never understand getting worked up over stuff like this. Athletes are like walking motivational posters from the time they're kids. I want players who are invested and treat football like a lifestyle, not a desk job.

Smith didn't want speculate on his character but he did hear he was a good kid from another scout. Could just be a chill guy like DJ Moore was. I didn't know NALO was a nickname thought it was just a motto. Suggests that he does know what he's up against though.

giving Benjamin and Funchess 2.0 ngl, but I'm encouraged that McMillian is a much better prospect than Funchess and that we also have Coker to take the pressure off. Going to be really interesting to see how the targets go when we have no clear #1.

Could still be true and they were as surprised as the rest of us. Doesn't really matter though as long as it works out. I like that Canales and Morgan seem to be on the same page. Probably the most in sync GM/HC combo we've had. I actually believe him when they say "our guy." I felt like Fitterer took orders or signed a former player of his most of the time, Gettleman had his own kingdom, and Hurney was somewhere in between. These two seem to have a shared vision of what this team can be and I haven't seen that out of the front office in a long time, if ever.

Love or hate Scout Smitty, 35 minutes of our franchise's best WR talking about the new guy three weeks before the draft is an interesting watch - Steve's choosing his words more carefully now and keeping his favorites close to the chest lol - Most teams had T-Mac as top reciever in the draft and the only one with WR1 potential. - Finesse player in a large body. Compares him to AJ Green. "I love AJ Green." Interestingly Green was considered speedy and Tet ran a faster 40. - "F****** dangerous in space" per scouts around the league but has trouble getting seperation. - Below average strength/physicality for his size. Difficulty blocking and against the press. - Low energy when he's not the focal point. Smitty actually saw some of himself in him there. I thought this was his best insight. - High floor. Believes he'll be good at worst. Summary: A natural at wide reciever with unique athleticism for his size. Question marks around drive and physicality will be the difference between him being good or great.

Fitterer rubbed off on Dan more than we'd like to admit he's probably in a NFL GM Signal chat

Perfect. There’s probably team staff who would use this as reference even

also feel like Gettleman was just bullshitting us with it because he knew

BPA is a lie and I wish we'd stop talking about it like there's a universal power ranking for the draft class. It's meaningless because "best" and "need" are both highly subjective team by team. Most media big boards had Fletcher Cox ahead of Luke. The good teams have the luxury of low stakes picks and incrementally upgrading the roster because they don't really have needs. The bad teams have needs at critical positions that are hard to draft, as we well know.

If he locks in he can be great I see the vision

Imagine paying $375 million to replace a guy up for his third Emmy in a row

Doesn't bode well for their confidence in Leggette IMO. Very similar profile.
