Who doesn't like Myles Garrett? But glad to get that snippet of info on the other two.

It is smokescreen season also, so there's that.

I found it interesting cause it sounds like he'd be fine with taking OJ Howard at 8 if he really does like him like he says

Tyler Eifert in '13 and Hunter Henry last year.... the OJ Howard love is that wildcard that will linger in the air until draft night. There's definitely better value vs. need that could be available at #8, but man, Howard is knocking on the door of the top-10 and I think by the end of the combine/pro-day period, he will be sitting there prime for the plucking. 

Not saying it's the most likely, but wouldn't be surprised if he is the selection at 8.  If they can address LT, DE and SS in FA, then Howard at 8 becomes more of a desirable choice. If Fournette goes to the 49ers, Jags or Jets, watch out.

Posted yesterday by DJ.  A taller version of Shannon Sharpe?? Comps to Jimmy Graham and Greg Olsen??

Watching some draftbreakdown vids of him, his blocking jumps out at me immediately. He's big, super athletic and has great hands, but man, his contributions to the OL and downfield blocking is something we could certainly use. A duo of Olsen-Howard would make me very very happy.  Shula has been lobbying for TE help, and maybe his little voice gets heard more this year.

I'm 100000% ok with taking OJ Howard if Adams Hooker and Fournette are gone. I know some see it as overkill but I believe another athletic pass catching tight end on the field with Greg Olsen would do wonders for our offense (provided Shula doesn't F it up)

If you can grab any of the top prospects at their position in the draft it's not a bad move , unless you have a young franchise QB like we do I suppose it wouldn't make sense for us to draft Trubinsky, Watson, or Kizer. 

If his skills translate to the NFL that will make us much more dangerous and also will let Greg rest alot more and stay healthy as he gets older .

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
