He solo blocked Will Anderson--the best player in this draft.

Bijan Robinson also single handedly stopped Anderson dead in his tracks.  I have a feeling Anderson is not going to be what people want him to be.

He’s being projected as a 1st now.  We’d have to trade back up to get him.  But even at that price I’m down.

I dont know if were in the right position to trade up brother, I think someone is gonna be there at pick 39. No way that Mayer, Kincaid, Musgrave, Washington, and Laporta all go before then.

Bijan made alot of dudes look silly, I get your point but I still like Anderson he's a well-rounded rusher with speed and power in his tool belt. His production in the SEC should not be overlooked as well, not many dudes can put up the numbers he can.

We were talking about Ian Thomas, not Washington. Heel31ok thinks Thomas just needs more opportunities instead of drafting a new TE.

oooooo my bad

yeah I've never watched a football player move or act less like a football player than Ian Thomas

its not that he's bad (he is), it's that he doesn't look like he has any idea what he's doing at any moment

As far as TEs go, I am more inclined to either sign a FA or draft one in the mid to late rounds than I am to draft a TE high. Damn near every good TE throughout the league was a post 3rd round pick or didn't get good until their second team/contract.

It's probably the hardest position in the NFL to play and there is really only two or three truly Great TEs in the entire NFL right now (Kelce, Andrews, and Kittle) and none were high picks. The difference in talent between TE 1 to 3 is bigger than the difference between TE 3 to 15.

The position is such a crapshoot. I just assume sign Schultz or Gesicki and have average play rather than sit on a prospect and hope he pans out to be average one day.

Except kelce was a high pick

Kelce was a 3rd round pick. Top 100 for sure, but that's not a first or second rounder.

You can get TJ Hockenson level production from a guy in the 4th or 5th round without using a first or second round pick.

TE is seriously ridiculously hard to scout.

I like him, but not enough for our 2nd round pick. 

Before the DJ trade and not landing an ILB today I was interested. Now, if Downs/Zay/Hyatt or Trenton Simpson falls to 39 we gotta take them. Worst case we can get Eric Ebron for the vet min to mentor Tremble and Ricci. The major upside for Darnell would basically adding an extra tackle to the run game every down instead of subbing Cade Mays or Erving in for the Arby's package

Didn’t understand the context, do you have a link the the play your referring to?

Not sure if anyone has seen this but here are the combine highlights for TEs. Darnell looks pretty damn good to me.  4.65 40, looked the strongest of the bunch and has great hands. Great one handed grab at the end of the video. His stock will rise because of his athleticism. Looks to be a great red zone threat. 
 

FYI… Mayer was the slowest of the bunch.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
