No thanks. Way too many studs on D this year to take an Oregon TE in the 1st...

Likely unsustainable. Granted - half of our defense + all of our wideouts are making little money, so it makes it easier to extend Icky now. By the time we need to extend our current rookies/2nd years, most of our oline's contracts will be done or will be on their last year (should be a good cap savings cut if need be). I think they were smart with the 2 year extension to Moton - I doubt they keep him afterwards unless it's on the cheap. That gives us a chance to draft a lineman and develop them if we want.

I'll be surprised if Simpson falls that low. I think teams will like how quick he gets rid of the ball. There are enough QB desperate teams in the top 12 between Cleveland, Raiders, Jets, possibly Rams (Stafford is up there in age), and possibly the Vikings if they think JJ is Jamarcus Russell 2.0

Maybe Bryce is playing the long con where he intentionally looks like ass 3/4 of the game and then when teams expect him to continue to be bad, he actually plays halfway decent and manages to lead the 4th Q comeback drive TD

Don't think anybody here is saying he is good. I'm just glad he hasn't been a significant detriment to the team like he was the first 5-6 games

I will happily take quiet on the field over the many screwups he had the first half of our games played. Still think we should upgrade at FS if we can, but happy that he isn't a guaranteed liability every play now

I don't think us being at home vs the road makes any bit of difference. We just saw them only call 1 penalty on the Rams Sunday - and if it wasn't a penalty that couldn't go uncalled (delay of game), they likely would have had 0. And crazy enough, Rams fans were blaming the refs for losing to us

Nick Scott. I feel like the 1st 5ish games, I was screaming that dude's name out many times in a game because they would pick apart his zone or he would miss a tackle that always moved the chains for the other team. I really haven't been calling his name the past 4-5 games, which is a huge improvement for him.

Peter Woods would be a good pick if he is there in the middle of the 1st round. Bailey and Faulk at Edge, Arvell Reese (if he somehow drops because ILB aren't valued), or Terrell at CB all have my attention also. I do think there is some pretty good talent at the top part of this draft at the non-QB positions

It makes sense (even though I don't think Bryce is the answer). Bring in competition next year for him and if he sucks, then you trade him to another team who will have him for his 5th year to try and make him a reclamation project

South Carolina has to be the top (Horn, XL, Rico, Wonnum, maybe more). After that, no idea. I would guess ND (Evans, Tremble, maybe more) and maybe Bama (Bryce, Robinson, maybe more) and TCU (Dalton, Moehrig, maybe more). I think we have a lot of colleges that have 2 players on our roster. Guessing most of our players are from the SEC. I don't know where most of our random practice squad callups and free agent acquisitions went to.

Even if the Bucs lose to NO or ATL, they will still have the tiebreaker over us due to a better record in common games. Only way we could realistically make the playoffs over them if we split with them is if they lose to both NO and ATL, which isn't going to happen. If Tampa somehow lost NO (or ATL) and at Miami while we win all but 1 Tampa game, we could end up winning the division off having a better record (also unlikely to happen). Pretty much, it's sweep the Bucs to make the playoffs. If we don't, we have a very small chance to make the playoffs

A record of 8-9 might win that division...

I have a hard time thinking Zavala would be decent at LG when he has been straight ass at RG. He is slow off the snap, gets bull rushed easily, has terrible pass blocking footwork, and looks utterly lost as to who to block whenever the opposing Dline does a stunt. Average-ish strength/athleticism combined with bad technique and awareness is not want I want to see from an offensive lineman...

I'll take solid with a couple of bad plays over Zavala being awful on just about every pass blocking opportunity. Curhen was on the Cardinal's practice squad for a reason - he isn't very talented. That being said, I think he has done a solid job in the games he has played.
