Great article about a kid that sounds very excited and fortunate to play here. I like the pick more and more.

I really think this was a great draft. We've got to see how they all play out, but I think we got great value for our picks throughout the entire draft. More than this, I think we got a lot of high character guys who fit our system well.

Great story, thanks for posting!

More than this, I think we got a lot of high character guys who fit our system well.

I think so too. I love tough, smashmouth type guys like this kid. They have a bunch on O, and a few on D. I honestly think the offense was "tougher" for the most part than the defense was last year.

Not sure what Meeks will do. Indy didn't have a tough D when he was there they had an athletic fast one. BUT...it's worth noting that with the departure of Dungy, the Colts seem to be drafting bigger guys on D. Heck they signed Seward, a LB who could have been a DL for Indy size wise when Dungy was there. This seems to suggest that the athletic makeup of that defense in Indy was weighted more heavily on what Dungy wanted. I think Meeks will want more athleticism but I don't think it will be to the extent Dungy valued it as far as going more towards speedy over size. That hurt them on run D BIG TIME.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
