If we tool a WR in the 2nd I think it would have to be the by far and away BPA and a guy we were utterly shocked to see still on the board to the point of the front office frantically making calls to friends around the league to try to find out why. Bernard isn't that. Honestly, I think he'd be a reach in the 2nd and I definitely don't want to see us reach on a WR in the 2nd. When you look at our needs and then look at this draft class and draft projections, 2nd round LB is looking like a likely match made in heaven.

It's an ongoing theme. If you point out that he's being an idiot with terrible takes he just blocks you. The guy is probably seeing very few posters' comments at this point. I honestly didn't pay any attention to who I was actually responding to. Now it makes sense. LOL

I wouldn't mind it. Everyone talks about TE not being a need and that Canales doesn't utilize TEs in the passing game, meanwhile we have one of the worst TE units in the NFL and we'd be dumb to heavily utilize them in the passing game. If Canales wants to use the TE position as a core part of the passing game then it's quietly actually a huge need. Every TE on pur roster is a guy who should be competing for a backup spot at most and honestly probably just simply fighting to hang onto a roster spot and a paycheck.

Not getting the "not understanding impactful players part. An afterthought of a 2nd round pick won three MVPs under him.

I wish we could've gotten Marcus Paige to hang around but when you know turnover is coming and you have a job offer you kinda can't afford to say no so I get it. May has NBA money in the bank to lean on.

Not a chance. We'd be all in on a guy trying to come back from back to back ACLs both returning to form ("form" that's not yet proven at the NFL level) and staying healthy for the first time in years. Bruce is barely serviceable with a dominant running game to lean in. It'd be ugly if... wait a minute... I just convinced myself we need to trade Chuba. LOL

Wouldn't mind as a UDFA

LOL! I still would've loved to have seen if Johnny Manziel could've transitioned to the NFL with an actual head on his shoulders. Johnny Football didn't translate. We know that. But could that skill set with a sober, logical mindset and NFL QB work ethic have worked? I don't think we ever got to find out because he was a complete knucklehead and never gave himself a chance to pan out.

Yeah, once it became clear that Donovan wasn't gonna make a decision in time we had to pivot off of that. Hiring Donovan would've basically meant eating a wasted season and getting a new era off to a horrible start because we would've lost a lot in the portal and basically had to try to piece together a roster out of absolute portal leftovers. It would've probably been the least talented roster we've ever put on the court, an absolute embarrassment, and might've given 8-20 a run for its money for worst UNC bball team ever. You can't start off a new coaching hire already in the wrong side of 60 like that.

Only if we're dumb enough to re-sign him at franchise QB pay. *narrator chimes in* "And he knows full well that we are"

Yeah, I'd take his career over Maziel's too but I'd rather have a bust at #22 vs. a bust at #3. Bortles was the bigger bust because the #3 pick is much more valuable than the #22 pick. Greg Robinson was a huge bust too and he went #2. The biggest bust in the draft is usually gonna be a top 5 pick and almost always a top 10 puck simply because of the massively skewed values of higher picks.

Is that Johnny Manziel? The 22nd overall pick in the draft is never gonna be the drafts biggest bust. Especially when Greg Robinson and Blake Bortles went 2nd and 3rd in the same draft class. LOL

That's the new reality of college sports. There's really not much of a reason for guys with eligibilityvremaining not entering the portal with the option to return. Especially with a coaching change and not knowing how you'll fit into his plans. Throw your name out there and see if there's a better offer.

I don't know what to think to be honest. Not excited, not crushed, just well we'll see.

Yeah, coach feathered a mighty fine nest for himself with that bag and all that control but you gotta think all that distraction weighed on the team and their preparation.
