Reading the Tea Leaves: What Did Morgan Just Tell Us?

There isn't 1 WR or TE that impresses me at 8 in this draft. it sounds like they will draft poorly again but that's not really surprising unfortunately.

I mean, Warren just put up one of the best seasons by a TE in a long time (ever, really), and that doesn't impress you?  Come on, Wally.

I mean, it's not like it's Conference USA.

Golden over TMac and Warren?  Not seeing it

Nobody is saying that.  Warren and TMac would require us to use the no. 8. Golden would not.

The league year officially started less than 72hrs ago, so thankfully there's still a looooot of offseason left to go. 40 days left until the draft to sign one of the current FA WRs.

Elijah Moore could help us.  
 

Wait Terrance Marshall is available?  What a surprise

A slow blocking TE using his size in school? I don't get the hype. Looks like a 2nd or 3rd round great TE pick. I still haven't seen any workout info on him. My guess is he is a solid TE but not a 1st round pick at this point. Not impressed honestly.

The very first highlight in this video is him taking it to the house from the wildcat, but what really highlights his speed is #10 from Purdue. That's Kyndrich Breedlove, a track athlete that clocked multiple sub-4.5 40s as a high schooler back in 2019.

I'm not claiming that Warren is running a 4.4, but pulling away from a track guy as a TE is impressive.

Looks 4.7ish to me.

I got a feeling, there is something up with Icky. This is going under-radar, but it needs to be watched with Hawkeyes. 

 

My theory is there are a few plans, the main one is to replace Motown with Ickey. Shock the huddle with 3rd or 2nd round LT pick that the group of OL Coaches(fyi there are 3) want as their vision of LT. Icky is better fit and RT are cheaper to pay.

So a starting LT for Bryce from the 2nd or 3rd round? That sounds risky or do you mean we take one this year expecting him to start in '26?

If that were the case why not take Campbell at 8? I mean you want the best LT then he will most likely be the bpa.

[SOJA]

I think the plan is to see if a top talent falls to 8: graham, hunter or carter (unlikely)

If and when that doesn't happen I could see us trading back for a team desperate for O-line help and taking Golden and I'd be very happy with that plan 

[Waldo]

Campbell is intriguing or just draft Membou. Just depends where Moton really is health wise and Ickey is development wise in their eyes.

Is it just me or did a bunch of the top teir 2 guys going early this year skip drills or am I reading that wrong?
