Draft Connections

Funny thing I noticed looking at trade up scenarios: We have front office connections with almost all of the top six teams in the draft right now.

At #1, Bears Co-Director of Player Personnel Jeff King not only played tight end here under John Fox but was also a teammate of new VP of Player Personnel Adrian Wilson in Arizona.

Speaking of Wilson, he's obviously well connected to the Cardinals who sit at #3. Some calls could certainly be made there.

At #4 is the Colts, who despite his departure are said to still have a good relationship with Head Coach Frank Reich.

Coming in at #6 you have the Rams, from whom we just obtained our new OC and DB Coach as well as our DC (thru Denver).

And of course, there's the Seahawks at #5 who have a close connection to both our GM and our Assistant GM.

The question, of course, becomes which connection we'll call on...

...but hey, at least we have options 😁

So if the Panthers do trade with the bears: who will we target in your opinion Mr Scot? Young or Stroud

Don't know other than probably not Anthony Richardson given what Joe Person said.

They're said to like Will Levis a lot.

Shouldn’t Levis be available at 1R3?  Who likes Levis better than Stroud and Young except apparently the Panthers?

Possibly.

Reich raved about Bryce Young in his presser, but of course you've got the size concerns.

      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

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
