Yeah…there’s a “yeah but” with all these edge guys tho. Even EZ, he’s not stout at holding the point, same with Swinson Green might be a raper, Oladejo is raw. The buckeye duo aren’t  that quick. Pick your poison. One deficiency doesn’t seem all that worse than others.

Some of these are worse than others. There's a reason I haven't mentioned Green at all. And of the Buckeye duo, JT is more athletic. So Sawyer's deficiency is worse.

Just watched Shedeur's speech about not getting drafted--Impressive.  Maybe this dose of humility is exactly what he needed.  I am guessing Cleveland or the Raiders today.

I bet neither take him.

Gonna be the story until someone does.  May decided that he can make more money at Colorado.  Not sure what daddy paid Shedeur. 

 

He'd rather work on his brand than work on his game. It's all about the money with the Meon family.

Does Dan Morgan trade up in the 2nd? Who do you guys think we should be targeting in the second round? players I like. 
 

Landon Jackson

Princely Umanmeilen

Carson Schwesinger

Nic Scourton

Xavier Watts

Darius Alexander 

Alfred Collins 

 

 

 

 

As the expert in all things football, I have no idea.  I think the edge rushers are deep in round 2--six or more that we might like.  I would sit tight.  If they trade up, the go for Emmanwori or Watts--I see them drafting Scourton, for some reason.

I dont think they add DT (we got brown back, added 2 more DTs in free agency) until day 3.  I would not be surprised to see an OT in round 3, but it will probably be something like Scourton in round 2, Sanker or OT in round 3.

I want to give him a break, then he does something that shows me that he is out of touch.  My Dad caught 34 passes at South Carolina as a sophomore the year I was born and was All ACC--much smaller scale--but I spent my life trying to fill his shoes and live to his standards--it is tough. you are in a different world--when Dad died, Dan Reeves came to his funeral and spent 20 minutes telling me stories that I never knew--you feel as if you were born into a royal family and you are not worthy--  So for that reason, I sorta get it--how much is this Dad and how much is this SS?  Dad is using it to recruit, and somehow, Colorado is the feature story nearly every day for a month prior to the draft.  Two players.  Meanwhile, Ohio State had 4 first rounders and will probably have 4 more tonight, and we barely know who they are.

Too late for them to do damage control now. Deion was trying to backpedal in recent weeks too when he started trying to talk back his mess about controlling where Shedeur does or doesn't go. When you're a marginal NFL physical talent don't compound it with a bunch of wild ego BS. Now instead of bragging about being a top 5 pick and calling their own shots they're wondering when the slide will end.

It's all his Dad's fault. He's coddled him all his life.  He had to be his coach in HS and in College controlling any and all development of the kid. He was also his media spokesperson and agent before the kid accomplished anything. Shedeur thinks that he can live of of family name alone.

Deion created this entire draft mess by running his mouth before the draft spinning any critique of his son to the media to get the attention on himself. He created this monster and his sons talent can't back it up.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
