Mr. Scot

A lot of people have been projecting Robinson to the Eagles at 10 but a few with knowledge of the way Howie Roseman thinks don't believe that'll happen. Guess we'll see...

Breer agrees...

Writeups for the above quarterback picks: Colts: Stroud is the best fit for Shane Steichen’s offense. I’ve heard assistant GM Ed Dodds, who has juice in that building, really likes him. But, as I’ve also heard it, GM Chris Ballard puts stock in the S2 test, which could be an issue for Stroud. Ballard was all over Will Levis in the fall, and I don’t think Indy has the issue with his personality that other teams do. Then, there’s how the developmental template used on Jalen Hurts (whom Steichen coached in Philadelphia) could work wonders for Anthony Richardson. And even the little tell in the workout with BYU’s Jaren Hall being tucked in with all the others when the Colts were traveling around to see these guys (which could be for the scenario in which the Colts go with a non-QB at No. 4). So I’m holding my breath here and going with Stroud. Texans: I had to find a home for Levis, and if it’s not Indianapolis, it’s hard to find one. Levis has had a very up-and-down ride through the predraft process—from some interviews that left teams wondering about his personality, to the more recent buzz that he’ll go higher than expected. In the scenario I’ve laid out, I do think Richardson would be a consideration. But Levis, who is tough, experienced and was beloved in Lexington, gets the nod, with the feeling he’ll be ready to play faster. Bucs: I didn’t want to give them a quarterback, because I do think the Bucs are excited to see what they have in Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. And if it were Levis sitting there for Tampa, I might go with, say, Oklahoma OT Anton Harrison. But the value of Richardson being here, in tandem with the top tackles being gone, makes this a swing that Tampa has to take in its first-year post–Tom Brady. And those other quarterbacks on the roster? They would give the Bucs leeway to sit Richardson for a year if they want to.

Other notable picks... - Tyree Wilson to the Texans at 2 - Will Anderson Jr to the Cardinals at 3 - Jalen Carter to the Seahawks at 5 - Peter Skoronski to the Raiders at 7 - Lukas Van Ness to the Falcons at 8 - Christian Gonzalez to the Eagles at 10 - Michael Mayer to the Packers at 13 - Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the Jets at 15 - Joey Porter Jr to the Commanders at 16 - Bijan Robinson to the Lions at 18 - Nolan Smith to the Seahawks at 20 - Dalton Kincaid to the Raiders at 21 - Zay Flowers to the Ravens at 22 - Felix Anudike-Uzomah to the Saints at 29 - Jahmyr Gibbs to the Eagles at 30

Breer isn't as in the business of doing mocks on a regular basis. He prefers to do just one close to the draft and vets his choices with personnel people. What does he foresee for the quarterbacks? Obviously Bryce Young goes first overall to the Panthers because he's been saying that for a while. The rest are listed below: 4. Colts - CJ Stroud The Colts wind up getting CJ Stroud without moving up at all after the Texans and Cardinals take other positions. Mind you, Breer does believe the Cardinals could potentially deal their pick...to the nervous Colts. Same result. 12. Texans - Will Levis Like the Colts, the Texans also get a quarterback without trading up. In this case it's Levis, who Breer acknowledges could also go to Indianapolis. So whither Richardson? 19. Bucs - Anthony Richardson To Tampa, who + having Baker Mayfield - can afford to sit him for a year while he adjusts to the NFL. ... So basically, we get the guy we wanted after massively trading up while everybody else gets one by just kinda sitting there. Not sure I like how this plays out for us... ...and I'm probably not alone.

Don't know how he'll do at Nebraska but agree totally with the rest.

See, this to me is pretty typical. Other than one or two extremes, I haven't seen many I'd call "Bryce haters". If anything, there are "Bryce doubters". Or like me, "Bryce pleasedon'tlethimgethurt-ers"

One other note...

Voth, when asked about Fitterer's"superpower"... We've heard before from Joe Person and others how Rhule went about "consensus building"

Trade ups are already leading 1-0

Speaking of... Assigned parking? Seriously?

I hate NIL

Yeah, that's it. Black and Blue Review, I remember now.

I thought he did pretty well, honestly. Kinda reminds me of Cody Rhodes

"Longest success" doesn't generally come from a quarterback like Richardson.

I do kinda have a question about that. Don't imagine the Panthers would necessarily take kindly to having something like that out there. Makes me wonder if he parted on bad terms or something

More than we won because of Rhule's coaching.

The only thing I'd call "epic stupidity" would be listening to fans. We've got a good staff who's gone through every detail with a fine toothed comb. I trust them to make the pick, regardless of who it is. Could they get it wrong? Absolutely, even if it's Young or Stroud. We all just have to hope they don't.

Haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure Rivera still holds both the highest winning total and winning percentage of any coach we've had. Heaven knows he had his flaws, and his firing was absolutely justified. But nothing...nothing was as horrible as the Panthers under Matt Rhule. The idea that anyone else even could be is just plain ridiculous.

Both they and Leaky Faucet have given us inside info you couldn't find online. That's valuable. Speaking as someone who posts plenty of Twitter links themselves, there's really nothing special about it (even less when a good portion of it is clickbait).

I'm not sure it would matter if he did.

Yeah, I wouldn't bet on that. Frankly I'd bet against it. It's like Snow said earlier. The Huddle isn't really representative of the fanbase as a whole. I seriously doubt the number of people throwing sh-t fits about it would translate into anything substantial...or even noticeable.

You're seriously asking why an NFL GM wouldn't just throw something out there to give away who he's picking? Yikes I believe Young is the pick (same as most of us) but have mercy what a dumb line of reasoning

I still would. Now with that said, a lot of the talk going around about the guy smells like bullsh-t. I caught a tape of his post pro day presser (below) None of the stuff about him being a jerk, being immature, thinking he's already great and/or won't have to work hard in the NFL...none of that shows up here. He comes off as a young kid with a big opportunity ahead of him just trying to get ready for it. Again, I don't see him being our pick, but I do think some people here are being unfair to him.

You know these aren't stopping anytime soon
