I’d be very happy with this draft. When I started looking at the WRs in this years draft, I pegged Rice as the guy that makes the most sense. But as I started looking at the other prospects a little more in depth i figured there are 10 WRs I’d be happy with. Ideally one would drop to us in rd 2. Torrance then, could be the smart move if we could get someone like Tillman or Boutte to slip to us in rd 2. But we’d be at the mercy of the draft and could be left without. Rice is such a great fit. He adds much needed size and ball skills. Very good RAC. Beastly run blocker. Best outside but has the ability to move inside. And I love the idea of that on 3rd down. He could be a matchup problem vs slot corners. Could be a great compliment to Diggs. Eager to see his 40 time and his actual height/weight. I hope it’s not in the 4.3s or he might not drop, but he looks like a 4.50 guy to me. I’ve seen him listed from 6’0 to 6’3. Would be nice.

He’s been a driving force in getting us to where we are today. The divisional round. Hopefully he and his coordinators can step up in the playoffs next year and we can take the step we thought we’d be taking the previous 2 seasons. I figured he would retain Dorsey and Frazier and the Pegulas wouldn’t force him to make any changes. He’s sticking to his guns. He’s a loyal man. Let’s hope it’s not to his detriment. His clock is officially ticking after a lame duck at home scoring 10 points and getting steamrolled.

McDermott ended the drought. Whoever’s decision is was to draft Josh Allen brought us out of futility.

Not saying that we should switch, but Baltimore played a 3-4 vs Cinci in the playoffs for the entire game. Any scheme will work with the proper game plan, coaching and execution. Our problem in season ending games has been a combination of all 3. I would’ve liked to make the switch IF we could’ve brought in Fangio. He’s the best defensive mind in the league imo. Now he’s the enemy. Good chance he’s going to take Dorsey to school next season. And the offense?

Stop this 💩 No. They are not. This. It’s going to be a loooong offseason. Dude should probably put himself on a self imposed month long TBD ban to get himself together

lol, I get it. Makes sense. I was more or less putting a stamp of approval on your statement that Bijan is the overwhelming consensus best RB in this class.

Agree about AR. Agree about young too, he only had 7 real seasons due to how everything worked out. Yet Pat Mahomes has played 5 seasons as a starter.

On every board….No? No other back in this class is in his realm. it’s not the ranking of the player among his RB peers that will get him selected before we pick. It’s his ranking among every player in the draft. Top 5 player imo. He’s a truly great RB. His agility (especially for a guy his size) is almost unmatched from my memory. that said- trading up for a Rb….oh hell naw

Elway top 3 🤣 I thought Steve Young was 10X better than Elway. Not sure if Elway would be in my top 10 tbh

He’s an extremely patient runner. Running backs like him seem to be patient when they have good blocking and tentative when they have no holes. He looked dam good to me…..his 5 carries vs Cinci not withstanding

The majority of those RBs aren’t getting that kind of money. Wait til the market eats itself then pick up the scraps for pennies. If we can upgrade the OL, I’d be fine with cook and Duke tbh.

The feelings are mutual John. Whichever position we draft, I just hope that player turns out to be great. If it’s a RB, just hope that he can help run us to a Lombardi.

Of course you are! He’s a demon. I wouldn’t hate on it. It’s not my preference, but we’d be getting a top 5 player in the class with the 27th pick. That said. I REALLY doubt he slips to us. He’s a different animal than Breece Hall.

Well, you have Peterson AND Pederson listed. If you only listed one, I’d concede an spelling error. You listed both in your own list (not the OPs). Hence the question.

Who is this Peterson guy that keeps being mentioned along with the Pederson guy?

Pretty good list. Except- saleh and mcdaniel ahead of Daboll? Please explain. I also think Mcvay, sirianni and Taylor are a notch too high but understand why you’d place them there. also- who is Peterson? I assume you mean Pederson who you also listed? I’d also put pederson up a notch.

He’s a helluva defensive mind. Take your talents to the NFC Lou

Great coaching has a lot to do with it

Yeah…..

I’d love to sign Gronk. It’s been my hope to run more 2TE sets to help the run AND pass game. Knox and Gronk could be tough. I’d question how much he has left in the tank though. Upgrading TE2 or making sure Morris gains another 10 LBs and improves his blocking would really help our O imo.

I don’t have much confidence in Bates anywhere. As is, we know is not a good guard. Maybe he suffered this year because he was playing next to Brown as opposed Dawkins last year. Maybe he’s just a better LG than RG? Maybe he’ll be a better center. One thing we know, he wasn’t good this season playing RG

Hopefully. He’s a solid center and leader. The concussions are definitely an issue, but the guy is 30 years old. If he decides to play another 2-3 years it’s because he’s body (head) allows him to.

To save 6.5M. Poor trade off imo. Hopefully he stays and plays another 2-3 years.

It’s a pretty terrible center class imo. if he retires, hopefully we can move bates to C and add 2 OGS. we really need Morse back imo.
