I doubt they would have taken dugger over Epenesa as Epenesa is higher rated and can be utilized more in our D. Now, what would have been interesting is if Diggs would have lasted to 54. Epenesa or Diggs? Probably still Epenesa

Is that you Beane or maybe you’re McDermott?

I’d guess PS

90% of drafts aren’t as deep as this one at wr. Top WR can come from any round, Diggs was a 5th rounder, Andre Reed a 4th rounder. Who knows if Gabriel or Hoskins turn out to be difference makers but I think they have a good chance of being better than the Fosters and duke’s of the world

Great - she can’t do her current jobs while maintaining the Pegula lifestyle. Now she has another one

The best punter was drafted, Mann I think his name is. Would have loved him instead of the kicker, he averaged 50 a punt

Yeah he was the one pick I didn’t love. Huge leg but accuracy is a concern. I wanted Runyan (G) at that pick but Beane must not have liked him

Nope he hit around that % 2 years ago, last year he was 20 for 28 which isn’t good . Love his strong leg, but if he isn’t accurate, it won’t matter. Making 60 yarders with a one step approach means sh$t if you miss 35 yarders

I think they’re going with what they have. They have no salary cap space and seem to like whatever that guys name is

Of course it’s ego. Remember, before Brady, Belichick was a below average coach. Granted, he had some bad teams in cleveland and NE But he’s only 51-65 when Brady wasn’t his QB, which includes a 11-5 years with Matt Cassel as the Qb

Fair enough though 86 catches 1179 yards, 13 yds is impressive, P13 or not. When discussing him, Beane said hodgins studies Diggs for his route running and he was the best of any wr he saw in college in 2019 at selling the double move. granted , he lasted until late in the 6th so he’s going to be flawed Mccoy? Lynch? Henry?

why would we assume Hodgins with have problems separating in the NFL. His 20 td split time (which equates to quickness from a standing position) was best of any WR at the combine. Please elaborate?

Don’t agree on the two WRs. They may have less than ideal 40 speed but both of above average athletes and one has elite hands

Nope - Beane said today that the guy they targeted was an olineman. It was Either in the 4th round to move up for stenberg trading with Dallas, moving up in the 5th with Washington trading up for Harris or moving up in the 6th trading with Carolina moving up for Muti or onwenu. My guess is they tried trade their 6th and 7th to Carolina to trade up for Muti as they had several meetings/calls with Muti.

That is 100% true and with limited to no training camp it looks make it even harder to make an impression. I still bet one of the UDFA makes it . The tackle or maybe the FB??

Good post, who knows about Fromme but One thing to remember is Belichick drafted QBs almost every year when he had Brady, and often higher than 5th round picks. Barkley not the answer as a backup and maybe Fromme can be. If not, need to find someone

Glad Wallace and numerous other UDFA didnt think this way.

The kicker wasn’t great last year though, 20-28 on fgs. He does have a ridiculous leg though. If you haven’t seen his no step 50 yard field goal or 1 step 60 yarder, google it jackson is an outside corner, has never played the inside nickel corner role. Beane said as much today

I think this is correct except Diggs can replace what mck does. I think injury to one of these guys is the only way Duke of Foster makes this team

Eason looks like a bit of a meat head to me and remember he left Georgia when he lost his job to Fromme. I don’t expect him to amount to much. yeah I hear you on the oline - just never seemed to have ones with good grades when we ended up picking. Maybe the UFA we signed will amount to something. I’m higher overall on our oline than most. In think a second year with continuity and a 2nd year for Ford will help a lot.

Moss isnt a breakaway threat but he is faster than Singletary. He had a hamstring issue at the combine so his 4.62 time should be discounted. 4.52 at his pro day is decent. Not great but decent. Fromm, if anything, will be a good classroom guy with Josh. Georgia coaches said they regularly had to throw him out of the building late at night (studying film). i studied the draft more than usual with time on my hands, plus with no 1st I wanted to know more about the later round guys. When we were on the clock I actually predicted 3 of the first 4 picks correctly- Espenesa and moss were no brainers and I took a flyer on Fromme and got lucky. In the 4th I guessed Golden-Gandy so at least go the position correct. Was thrilled with the Hoskins pick as I thought he was a late 3rd/early 4th talent but had no clue they’d draft a 2nd wr.

I trust Beane. Some random thoughts: 0 fumbles for Moss last year and best broken tackle % of any back since 2014. Works for me. your D+ rated 7th rd pick Was the 8th rated CB in the draft and his coach said he was the best CB he has ever had. I’ll take that in the 7th Hoskins had the best 20 yd split time at the combine and the lowest drop % of any wr in college last year. Works for me Fromme - who knows and the lack of a normal training camp will hurt him but he will make the roster and probably take over as backup for Barkley as backup next year. That’s good use of a 5th

J I could see McKenzie making it but not Duke. The two draft picks give us the size Duke has, equal speed but with much better hands. I don’t think Roberts is 100% safe either. The other thing to consider is injuries can occur

I think they both make the roster this year. Rosters are expanded, 4th rounders (Gabe) don’t get cut to PS and I think Hoskins would be grabbed but another team if moved to PS. Limited training camp will hurt them though

I get what everyone is saying but I disagree in that I was really impressed with the draft. Without a 1st I did a lot more Deeper research than usual and was impressed with the values Beane got, especially with Epenesa, fromme and hodgins
