I can see 9 wins. Not confident about any more than that. This season is again about development. Still a young team all around - players, coaches, GM and owner. Everyone is still finding their way. But they all do seem to be learning and getting better.

Going all out for a QB in 2023 was an incredibly dumb move. It didn't matter who they drafted, he was going to fail here. Adam Thielen as your best pass catcher for 2 of 3 seasons is a recipe for disaster. No explosive RBs, WRs or TEs in any of his seasons. And an o-line that needed league leading cap just get to a little above average. BY has been an F if judging by all 3 seasons. No doubt about it. 2023 was so bad, it brings down every year since. But by year I would give an F- (if that's even a thing) for 2023. C- for 2024. C for 2025. Honestly I think a little more speed on the team serves him well. Remember his rookie season, he was overthrowing Mingo and Marshal whenever he went deep early in the play. And he was used to smaller but faster guys at Alabama. He seemed to lose confidence after that and turned into a dink and dunker. Well that and the o-line getting him killed if he held the ball too long. We'll see if he continues to trend in the right direction. There's at least a glimmer of hope now.

With some weapons finally.

Some of those reach blocks are crazy! Like high high level.

Awww! You really do care.

Man I hope ICE ain't there

Bro...? On draft Saturday?! F them kids. Even if they aren't actually born yet.

Yeah, I remember his receivers making great plays and bailing him out a ton.

They have a young QB (well inexperienced anyway). Passing stats are as much a reflection of your WRs as they are your QB.

I stand corrected sir.

Remember Evero said we couldn't blitz against the Rams in that last drive because he didn't trust his guys in man - or something like that? This is the solution. And he's an actual solution.

Step brother. Different mothers, same dad.

That's a great pick. They are looking for a big nickel. One that can play man against TEs and slots.

Agree in zone. But he'd be our best man coverage safety - by a long shot. Allows us to blitz from nickel.

He's supremely confident in his coaches.

How do you know my wife?

He's mostly a one trick pony. But dam he's a killer at that trick.

See him as a big nickel. Pretty good in man coverage for his size. Allows more blitz packages. And I'm from Columbia. Fear the Cock!

Yes.

There is no way they value Horn, Moore or Tremayne over Legette. Legette will make the roster unless he's traded. Doubt that happens after so many quality WRs in this draft.

Hoo rah!!

Haven't seen the interview. I just don't have a lot of faith in him beating out Walker or Moton as a rookie. He'll play but I'm not sure he'll start. If Makai Lemon wasn't available I wouldn't have as much of an issue with the pick. Makai would likely be a 700+ yards receiver as a rookie here, and be the explosive playmaker we've needed since trading DJ Moore. He would start day 1. No contingencies. And what if TMac or Coker go down for any extended period of time? We'd be counting on Metchie to step up big time. This receiving group is not as good as some give it credit to be. There's a real lack of a speed and elusive factor.

If Metchie can finally get back to his pre-draft level. If Jimmy Horn can finally get on the field. If Jonathan Brooks can finally stay healthy. If JaTavion Sanders can finally stay healthy and get back to his early rookie level. Then we'd finally have NFL level offensive weapons. Lot of Ifs. Still 6 more picks though. Can't get complacent about the lack of explosive playmakers on O. The only one we've kind of had for the last 3 years was lost in free agency (Rico).

Agree an ILB should be the target round 2 since BPA is out the window. Would take a flyer on Zachariah Branch if he fell to our 3rd.

I hope so. But not because of injury. Hopefully, he beats someone out or gets put in a lot of big personnel packages.
