The point was supposed to be he was developed for LT even at 8 overall. I guess I didn’t make it.

It seemed like a sentence, from day one. Punishment for something we did or didn’t do. I begged for parole, an appeal, got nothing. Years now. It’s like, we’ll find out this year. But, we are in the movie Groundhog Day. They have loaded up the offense and now given him his full time OC and given that OC a tutor. What is left to enhance? Aside from a receiving corps full of first rounders, that we may yet end up with. If he doesn’t do it this year, the offense will labeled as young and green and that will be the excuse.

If they extend him…. could get to ten.

Yeah we have to grade the field position on a curve.

That is reasonable, the development aspect and I hope to heaven they do that if they don’t want to invest early. Gross went at 8 I think, and was RT his rookie year.

Okay. I haven’t really looked at him because, no interest in tiny. I would ask the same questions I asked about Bryce, which are basically what athletic traits does he have that rate as above average in the NFL? In Bryce’s case, the honest answer I came up with was none.

It would have sucked then too. We had all these specimens in and I think maybe they have their heads on straight looking at the future, just maybe. Then this poo. Did Morgan lose a bet?

I haven’t scouted them to say, because I am not GM and have no say. The Miami kid, but he will probably be gone. Freeling. Proctor is interesting. Like I said I haven’t really scouted but I would look closer at him because I have seen some claiming he has the quickness and feet even at his inflated size. So I would look closer at that. My ideal outcome is one of the top guys who are probably not gonna fall, falls and we use 19 on him. Obviously, I guess. I am not wanting to trade up or anything - not putting it like code red at all costs, but if we get a chance to get that covered I would for sure want to take it. Also it looks like we might be able to drop down a few slots and find a future RT at decent value which I would also be fine with. I think if someone fell that made 19 a hot pick, then I would want to trade out unless it was a top T. I would probably want to get a run stopper for the DL if the tackle thing didn’t fall right. That is what I voted for here because I feel it is more likely that we don’t have things fall to fit my scenario.

Predict, no. But that monstrosity of a knee brace has scared me since Moton went with it as standard part of his equipment.. And his age is not helping him. He just worries me. Like riding on bald tires.

This type of comment reminds me we really did well with T Mac. He is not a diva type at all. And it is such an occupational hazard with WRs.

It would be a great joke to play on us.

OT seems like the most responsible pick to me. Conservative? Probably ultra conservative. Prepper like. I can’t shake the feeling that we will regret passing on one before the season is over. Plus it lines up and sets us up to be able to use the 2027 1st on a QB if we need to. because we might. Think about it, worst case, we could actually be down RT, LT and QB going into next year. It isn’t that inconceivable. Matter of fact, it is very ‘Panthers’. We have Walker yes, for this year. Whose last team let walk, and for fairly cheap money. Does that make you feel secure? (I mean okay, I feel a lot better with him than without him, no doubt just saying) The only thing is the tackle that fits the job has to be there at 19. You can’t force it.

Glad Mike Kaye is not doing the drafting.

He isn’t a QB.

Leave it to Clausen to be drafted in the 2nd round and still be the biggest bust.

I had just watched the Lions/Vikings/Panthers stretch when I came here. What I didn’t like about that mock? Mina Kimes gave Jeremiah 2 choices for each pick. Only two. Felt very arbitrary.

And they mention some other guys who probably wouldn’t be first rounders or even second rounders but sound interesting. I would be hoping to identify some more of that. What he said about Conception does fit the profile of what elements I think the 3rd guy should bring. But I still think we can get that without spending yet another first round pick. Canales has some receiver roots before the QBs. Ditto Idzik. Put that poo to use and find us someone outside the obvious 1st round suspects that every average fan can see.

There are enough guys with clean health/injury histories that can’t stay healthy in the NFL you don’t need to chase oft injured talent.

She fuged Ted.

You really do need to do that if it is a serious hobby. I don’t look any more until we draft someone then I look. Exception was 2023 because we cut our sack off for the first pick. I looked then. The horror…. I wanted my sack back but Tepper had it in his clutches.

I think I saw the Rams mentioned as offering assets to trade into 8. They took TMac instead of offers. Looks like a very good decision at this point.

What I came away with is he was very helpful with the ‘Will this player be there at 51?’ type of stuff. understanding the dominoes falling and generally assessing your prospects with certain players being on the board for you. Which isn’t how we probably think of analytics around here. And I am sure they also do. The stuff we think of as analytics I mean. RAS etc

He has long ago ceased to offer hope he was ever worthy of the 1.1. Now it is just, can he be mid?

Well, it is his to lose. They are on a path to pay him unless he really fugs up this year. Maybe we can get ourselves into a Coker/XL situation somehow, Bryce being XL in this scenario. Find ourselves a Coker.

Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK.
