i really hope no one is seriously looking at that one catch shown on that video that adams dropped and getting concerned.

who am i kidding...i know some of you bozos are going to start bitching and whining about it.

I hope you don't think I'm bitching about it. I merely stated that to be a bit sarcastic. I know they drop passes. Heck smith dropped a lot of passes. It happens. As long as he's ready to go by week 1, that's all that matters. And really his main focus will be ST. If he drops punts consistently then I'd worry like hell about it.

Byron Bell is a big boy... That's what I learned after watching that video.

Also... LaFell definitely looks the part for our #2. Just looked liked a smooth route and catch... I'm locking him in at #2. I don't think there's a chance in hell that Gettis beats him out.

You guys do realize Adams had a serious problems with drops in college as well, right?

Just making sure. Yes, all receivers drop passes. But when someone who has a notorious reputation of doing it (Adams) does it, it is a bit concerning.

Huge Razorback fan here, watched every game. He did have trouble catching the medium-deep passes that had more zip on the ball. Most of his big plays were short passes and then just let him do his thing and take it to the house. That being said, I highly doubt he's sees the field much this year as a receiver. He will give an immediate boost to our punt return, and maybe even some reverses/screen passes. He's only gonna get better, but I think that's really all that we should expect from him in his first year.

Thing about that Adams drop was that it bounced off the top of his hands. Adams is not a tall guy and we all know Cam misses high sometimes so that could be a concern. He connects to Smitty no problem though, so I'm sure he can build the same type of repore with Adams.

Also, man was it nice to see the O-Line all together. Gross, Silatolu, Kalil, Hangartner are going to be a wall.

Not sure I concur with the drops happens stuff. You play like you practice. If Joe wants to see the field as something more than a STer, he has to do a better job of catching the ball. Rivera is not going to trust him if he does not clean this up.

I think pride should play a part in this. It should be a matter of pride that the ball does not hit the ground when it comes your way. I do not think it should be that much to ask for a professional football player to actually be able to catch a football.

Just my thoughts. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
