In short (no pun intended), Young was amazing at playing X-box

 

This is like hiring only Harvard grads because they are "smart". I can't tell you in my previous line of work how many Harvard grads I met that were book smart but street idiotic. Chris Weinke comes to mind here, great QB mind, horrible QB athlete, we basically drafted a noodle armed Weinke.

The S2 Eval requires taking the test on a specialized laptop or XBOX. Individual athletes can take The S2 Eval at one of our S2 Labs across the country. Additional labs will be opening soon.

 

Coaches, teams, and tournament and camp organizers can book the S2 Mobile Lab, which will bring an S2 testing facility to you – anywhere across the country.

Bryce spoke well during dinners. Same thing happened with Rhule.

Yeah, no more dinners please. Tepper and company RAVED about the dinner conversations of both Rhule and Bryce. It was HUGE in the evaluation of both.

Folks, we're looking for football people. I'm not trying to figure out if I want you dating my daughter.

Complete opposite of Cam Newton. He was flashy with a funky hairstyle. Young is a choir boy, polite, and not loud.

Unfortunately, that's not enough to play and win in the NFL 

Before Cam Newton lost his fashion mind he was also pretty square and had a lame fashion line at Belk's. His parent's ran a church

Cam was pretty square coming out of college, he was just basically built like Zeus though

You know what also isn't enough to win in the NFL? Having the worst collection of Oline, WRs, TEs, and RBs in the entire NFL. Bottom. Tier. Every position group. Not only is it impossible to win with but also impossible to play like a top 15 QB with that mess. Throw in the playcalling and you could have drafted Jesus Christ himself #1 overall and he'd look like a bust in this offense

As someone said, Tepper made his money by being good at math and letting the data tell him what to do.

I think his dream was to come into the NFL and revolutionize it by using analytical tools to get all the best players etc. Like a type of money ball.

The problem is the data just isn’t there at the college level.

I just don't think it's a data thing. There's no sure thing in the draft. Great college players that don't translate. Great athletes that don't translate. Guys who don't have great measurables but translate anyway. There's no foolproof blueprint to follow and that's why there's steals and busts every year.

Same thing with Reich. I knew once I heard that Reich had relayed to Tepper that he pretty much already interviewed his staff before getting the job, Reich was going to be the guy. 
 

Not to mention that Reich had been apart of that Philly Super Bowl team. Tepper was smitten at first site. 
 

Tepper shouldn’t be involved on the football side of things, but if he is, he’s gotta let his biases go, and go into these interviews and evaluation sessions with an open mind.

Hell, I like Bryce. He seems like a really good guy.

It was just very obvious watching him at Bama that his physical skill set was marginal at best at the NFL level.

Bryce doesn’t have that Alpha that Cam, Jake, Brady, Brees….I could go on and on. Stroud has that Alpha. Bryce reminds me of a weak puppy left out in the cold. There is nothing leader about this soft spoken baby. He ain’t it.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
