Jaycee Horn update!

[Fright]

People forget how lock down dude was on his side of the field. Glad he’s good to go for this season.

In terms of recovery, it is. What kinda sucks is that he's basically a redshirt rookie next year having gone through a camp and preseason but only a couple of real games before getting hurt.

It is what it is though. But yeah, in terms of recovery time he should be plenty ready to go for camp. Had we been in the playoff chase it's possible he could've even returned late last season.

He was pro-ready day 1.  That hasn’t changed other than he’s had a full year of NFL weight training and nothing to do but go back to the fundamentals aka rehab.

But what about Slater?

Rhule would have had him play RG.

So would like 20 other teams. Rhule wasn’t the only trex arm bandwagoner for him.

Slater was the correct choice for us, IMO.

I don't think that has anything to do with how good Horn will be as a player, however. Everything about him indicates he will be a great NFL player in time.

I like the Horn pick. 
 

We’re a low Slater pff grade in 2022 from no one believing he should’ve been picked over Horn. Especially if Horn had the kind of year we expect.

It goes beyond PFF grades. He played very well and certainly looked the part of a franchise left tackle. Barring some Matt Kalil-like fall, that one will hurt for a while.

I'm glad you asked. Are you speaking about the rookie All-Pro tackle taken 5 picks after Horn? Rashawn Slater? Looks like he's thriving. Carolina would have picked a good one if they pulled the trigger. Horn is still going to be a good one tho.

I was screaming "Take Slater!". Was saying it here before the draft as well. Been asking for OL since Cam was QB1 years ago.

You can not underrate what a corner who can shut down one side of the field can do for a defense.  I believe that Jaycee is that guy, and will be All Pro soon.  

If he stays healthy he will be the best corner in the NFC along with Lattimore. As far as pure intangibles he’s off the charts. Guys like Diggs and Slay aren’t close (in part bc of Slay’s age). Ramsey is fantastic but I think a lot of his greatness is in the lore that follows him. 
 

Horn looks like a strong safety out there but is playing corner.

One of the highest graded athlete's ever.

If he stays healthy, and out of trouble, he has All Pro type ability and background.

This kid is a beast. I liked this pick and still like it. Shut down CBs are not easy to find and are worth their weight in gold.
