So the going from 33 to 32 is SVP at center for the bills and smith-wade at cb for us. Idk if that's worth the move up ATM. That will be a fun one to track over the years.

Yeah he made a name for himself that weekend for sure. That's when he popped on my radar.

fuging saints. watch rattler figure it out there after carr is done

the irony is moving up to 32 costs us SVP.

they always draft well. reason they are now a perennial top team

there was a pool of 3C to start the 4th that were interesting. Bortolini filled the RAS special. SVP is the "big" name left that was the constant rock on UGA's OL for their run the past few year. hes a tough SOB and rumbles, but for the position hes a little undersized and not the RAS freak Bortolini is. The guy that snuck up on everyone in the process is Hunter Nourzad. Ivey league to big-10. played all positions well. has good length and size for a C. he really snuck in there though as a solid guy as people went through all the prospects. concern is stunt pickup (yikes) but otherwise was really good in happy valley.

damn there went Bortolini. high end athlete at C. the knock was arm length and how that works out, otherwise all the measurables, snap count, and success you want to see.

he's who i wanted at 101

of course the steelers snatch wilson. next big time LB there.

Corley not on the list but r. Wilson and Polk? Not a Polk fan at all and that's mighty high on r. Wilson, even though I'm a fan. Went Franklin, but Corley is right up there if it's 39 or earlier. Outside the 2nd, I think there is still great value (Luke mcc, Washington, McMillan, B rice.....)

Austin Reed. been banging that drum since the senior bowl practices. hes a guy that has an NFL arm and not the publicity that the others have. he may make it to 240 or UDFA. he isnt going to be chucking it 70 yards, nor laser flat 20 yard out routes. thats ok. he can be effective. little bit of a gambler though so he can give a lot and take away sometimes being aggressive. for a 3rd qb to dev and run the backups sure for pick 240 or UDFA. Rattler is this year's wildcard. he could be a top guy in a few years or a guy that never makes it to the end of his rookie contract. That arm is elite. at 141/142 idk if i would pass on the lotto ticket with that level and what we have here currently. no way he makes it to 240. very polarizing player for damn sure. personally i would not be shocked to see him in the top 70 picks though as someone thinks they can unlock him. also could see him past 140 cause the red flags of 2022 and 2023 scare everyone off that he will never unlock the arm talent as he doesn't process fast enough or have the consistency to be anything more than a 3rd qb.

been ringing the bell hes the guy for months. watch this bowl game just put everyone on skates. was a "4th" (lol) then and was always the target with those old silly boards. then watch him destroy all challengers in the senior bowl. as a 290+lb DT/ 5 tech, he's super athletic with a 8+ RAS score. he's fonally making it into the 2nd and 1st as he should. he isnt burns but thats not his game. pair him with rob and brown, the front 3 are locked down. IDK, he may not make it to our pick. hes little like brown in the levers for arms, tall 3tech or 5 tech, just not as thick. hes going to be a long time pro. idk if he ever fills the stat sheet with sacks/tackles, and thats fine. hes going to disrupt, hold the line to let the 2nd level defenders thrive. braswell is the other i really want too. that pair would be lethal. solidify the front 3, then get the all out rusher. doubt we can get him without missing on a top 3 center though.

we going to actually play him this time or pay him a chunk of change just to release him early again?

like wtf morgan! we have a straight 4th to give in 2025. thats less than a matt C. take the damn shot and look for a QB or are the Teppers just going to ride that bryce is 100% the guy trough 4 years????

Lol this is crazy deal for Seattle. Cost of howell vs Bryce, ouch.

Austin Reed is a name to watch. All the dude did was put big numbers for 4 years. Came in after Zappe and they didn't miss a beat his 1st year. Took a step back last year which has knocked him off the radar. Dude went to DII and as a RS freshman, just lead the team to a championship and was great in 2021. In the championship game, he broke the yards record for the champ game in the 1st half and TD record in the second. Dude just balled out all year in 2019. In 2 years 7.4k and 78 tds total (think it was 12 rushing). Goes to WKU and the year after Zappe is drafted in 2021, just continues with video games numbers in 2022. 8k in the 2 years, but 4.7k in 2022 (in 13 games) and 3.3k last year. 71 tds, but again 40 in 2022 and 31 in 2023. Good not great 2023, but that 2023 is magic. Best QB at the shrine bowl by a mile. I'm down for our 7th for the guy, but expect he's gone before then now.

And this is what is super scary with a young QB we have

So you mean year one of the Mitch and Kenny experience. Yeah no doubt he didn't light up the stat sheet. that was Bryce bad QB play. Hell y'all basically just took the air out of the ball and methodically used Johnson as an extension of the run game and ran it down our throats in 2022. I wouldn't trust Mitch either. Don't think it's a coincidence his play and output dropped in 2022 after big Ben retired. He was the leading receiver in yards what 3 straight years, and wasn't in all the games. He's what we lack and everyone wants: big play potential. If healthy he took the top off the defense for years, and that speed isn't gone. Now can our QB get him the ball...... Remains to be seen, and if not it's going to be ugly. Johnson's catch and retreat move is gonna piss us all off for damn sure. Jackson is going to frustrate you. He loves to make a play and then later give up a huge one, game after game.. we both are trading for potential and unloading our underperforming guys here. Think Jackson has a better outcome as he won't be asked to be a #2 CB for you all. We likely ask Johnson to be a top 2 WR and want him as the #1 as it stands today. Hope for us he's motivated to perform for the next contract.

I'm not exactly thrilled but as a wild card on offense where we sucked. Wide range of outcomes for him. Cause this is a swap it's the one move that likely cost nothing in cap or personnel with the highest chance to move the needle. I'm not convinced it does though.

Well, one bad contract of another. Johnson has potential to be top 10 WR. but man he already started the on the field post Pittsburgh AB antics in Pittsburgh with a questionable QB. Idk this could get really spicy. Let's hope we can feed him and keep him happy, cause of so we likely are doing worlds better than last year in the passing game.

Damn makes us miss ol hurndog who was at his best average go slightly above. Like this is all bad hurney years without 1st rounders too. And yeah ol hurndog had his hand in this poo show too

So we have meh center, a LT that looked absolutely lost, a RT that's paid a mint and average last year so we go set the market for OG to start his contract. I get we need help, but if we are going to put 27 mill for a OL guy this year, why inside and not LT and just accept icky at LG. If yearly average of over 20mill for the 1st 3 years .... Also of all positions OG typically is the easiest to find in a draft for cheap. That said hunt is a former 2nd round pick so shows good one come early too. Good Hunting

Eh that's a little much for him but dang no ones left!

A new owner that clears the FO. Coach, give him a little time. But this start to FA, resigning players, cuts and trades has been a disaster. But its all the expected with the Teppers at this point
