I know it's not gonna happen but I really wish we'd just come out and say who we're picking so that I could start convincing myself that guy is gonna be great and all these other guys are gonna bust. 😂

I do wonder if they will announce before the draft?  It’s not like we need to put up a smokescreen

I wouldn't be surprised if the league has added some rules to stop teams from announcing the 1st draft pick before the draft. 

The mystery makes for a better tv program and gives the anchors something to talk about for 20 minutes.

Do you think Stroud is just afraid to take the hit? He plays so well, but when then you'll see him within the pocket with the littlest bit of pressure and he'll sail the pass. There's this play and another one a bit later that almost is intercepted.

I was going to make that same comment a few days ago. Sometimes it looks like he’s legitimately afraid of contact

I think it's easier to get someone to feel more comfortable with pressure and taking hits than it is to get someone to avoid contact.

Guys like Cam were impossible to get that thru their heads because they're just not wired that way, no matter how often you beat it into them, when push comes to shove, they're going to deliver or take the hit, like Josh Allen has a tendency to do.

If Stroud was blatantly afraid of contact it would be one thing, but a few instances here or there, that's not as much of a concern, especially as he grows older and gets more comfortable in the NFL.

I would love to say that. Though so often Stroud can get the first down with his legs, but doesn't. Or that he could make a throw, but hesitates, or sails the pass. I wish there were more games like the Peach Bowl. I wish there were more times on film that I actually see him take the hit and deliver.

No. The NFL wants to keep as much intrigue as possible. It very well may leak from credible sources (and those sources will he trashed by the factions that don't want that guy or really want someone else) but there will definitely be no announcement.

Just giving him his due.  He could have skipped the combine..*cough* like Young but didn’t.  He did all the drills and work while a very healthy Bryce Young stood around watching.  

I think Young was just following the Kylar Murray script of pigging out for 3 days to weigh in, and then not doing any combine drills because he was in no condition to do that.  They're about the same height.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
