The Firebaugh Kid

Was just watching some highlights on YouTube. Kid is talented. Great feet, hands, separation. Obviously not a comprehensive overview of his snaps but a know a dog when I see one. Kids fiesty

It is a strange dynamic. They acknowledged there’s a need, but they are unable to address it in the draft in the early rounds before all of the talented players are gone. Hell we all woulda given em an A if Tory Horton was a Bill today. He hung around until the fifth round if I’m not mistaken. It’s like they acknowledge there’s a need but don’t criticize them when they don’t find a way to fill it in the draft.

There’s a condensed version on YouTube about 17 minutes long.

That is true there are some diamonds towards the end of the first round most years. I don’t think anybody knew Jefferson was going to be the guy that he is though. I think the sad truth is that they chose to invest in Keon Coleman, and while obviously I want him to succeed, he’s not the guy anybody really wanted because he doesn’t separate.

The irony of the situation is that they have Elijah visiting today 🤣 Beane did a great job addressing the defense in the draft and in the off-season. I think it’s a personally very reasonable for fans to expect that they should’ve drafted a receiver to develop within the first three rounds but sounds like they didn’t really like many of them. We all want Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase but when you’re 13 and four every year it’s almost impossible to get your hands on those guys. I’ll take being good over having shiny toys.

Yeah I think our scheme is generally effective. Look at the numbers this team puts up with mediocre talent. We need some juice, praying they don’t let him leave the building.

With that speed, he sure as hell could check the vertical box. Same with Samuel.

Don’t buy all the bull#### they say in these press conferences they know they need more talent at that position. I personally think this guy has infinite potential. Would love to see him on the bills.

Dry toast and a side of moth balls

The 98 yard touchdown to Gabe Davis would like to enter the chat.

Alrightttttty then. Dry toast for breakfast again? I’m still pissed at him for dropping that ball but the kid is talented. He needs to toughen up.

Man they are thin at linebacker. ***** Rams. Why is nobody interested in Elijah Moore? Is he more of a slot guy? He’s only 24 years old and very talented.

You can basically include 86 with the WR group. That makes it a lot better. I don’t love the idea of counting on Curtis Samuel to be healthy but I thought when he was healthy he looked like the best receiver we had. After number 10.

He was drafted in the fourth round Google it. The timing was perfect enough just to derail his professional career. Sound familiar?

You gotta love the defensive makeover. I know this was a guy Joe Marino was high on at least in the later rounds as a developmental prospect. I still want Isaiah Bond I don’t care what you guys think lol

I find it very interesting as well that these allegations were reported on April 10. Somebody has a vendetta against this kid. Innocent until proven guilty and the dude can fly I’m taking him I don’t care we need speed.

Isaiah Bond or bust

Fickkkkkkk

Hortons gone according to google? Says he was drafted by Detroit in the fourth round.

It’s honestly pathetic that Royals was available this late and they couldn’t find a way to get him. Kid had a second round grade from a lot of people

We can argue with the fact that they are trying to fix what is wrong with the team. But you have to acknowledge the fact that this team needs a deep receiver. And not some developmental ####### who can’t catch.

I think they know they missed on Carter.

What did we give up

Nooooo Thornton 😭

shocked Jalen Royals is still out there. There’s something about that kid. Horton is nice also. I’m going to assume somebody picked up Felton because I don’t hear anybody talking about him as an option. Thornton is more of a project but I would love to grab him also. You can only dress so many players but I’m loving the focus on the defensive line. Let’s trade up and get a couple more talented kids and call it good.
