So BPA regardless of need was a lie... I don't mind them rolling dice on the defensive side. Safe picks on offense make sense with Young distributing. And the same concept applies: if this staff is all it's cracked up to be we should have better odds of the projects panning out. I'll feel good about the pick if they sign a veteran stopgap to buy them time. A little concerning if the plan is to start DJ raw.

Smitty's development into a WR coach is going great. Was this the WR they fell in love with at the combine and were being secretive about? Glad the defensive stuff was just talk. He doesn't have an explosive burst but he's still fast, good hands. A great route runner is getting to get fed heavy by Bryce in this offense.

who’s going to tell Joe that Steph isn’t the only person to hit the drum

Reich effectively rotated 3 in Indy and loves two TE sets. https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/1659200

ok but look at the guy

First pro start at Darnold's current age? Yikes.

Think he told Bryce no tattoos or locs?

Darnell Washington come on down

Beats the hell out of JR's "family" approach to running a team.

They don't have a choice his body will only put on so much. Bro's naturally slim all the bojangles in the world ain't getting him to 230. But yeah, assuming he does put weight on easily at some point you have to consider the trade off in speed. If an extra twenty pounds takes away his mobility I don't want it.

I think the early rumors that we liked him at 9 were true but AR bumped him off the list at the combine.

This brother is sharp. The quick processing is apparent just hearing him speak. These are very good answers he's spitting in real time with little to no hesitation. I'm sure Tepper and the staff were beside themselves talking to him.

Everything is going according to plan...

His combine weight is about his ceiling I'd say, just more muscle. We made a big deal about bulking Burns up but he's still listed at his weight from the draft

You're not. Either's better than any QB we've had since the Super Bowl. The short jokes that aren't mean effort insults can be funny but the folks acting like Stroud is a moron are dweebs.

My question is what kind of haul would it take from Houston to make us go from Young to AR

toot toot

Not sure what more y'all expect. We'll get a profile on Young, some size debate, the usual photo ops. National media doesn't go in-depth like that.

Armour but maybe both of them. From a redditor playing coy so take with a heap of salt. For what it's worth I know Shinyashiki had a reputation as a night life regular in Charlotte.

Yeah seemed pretty genuine too. I really don’t think the league cares all that much. Most years everyone knows who’s going the first. After all the smoke they may as well see it through till the end. Maybe Houston will offer 7 first rounders at the last minute.

Rumor mill saying they got into personal mess off the field.

Wack. Shiny was a great spark plug sub and like as soon as the ink dried on his contract they decided not to let him be one. Don't know what the drama was with Lattanzio but we're not good enough in any capacity to be just wasting talent away.

Maybe the staff actually likes the guy who's been considered the top prospect of his class for two years

Those quotes were about JaMarcus Russell
