Coach Tuesday

I’m glad we reverted to a bland name with our last pick.

Someone will start a new Duke Williams thread over his exclusion from that list.

And then we have the dilettantes…

Best. Draft. Ever.

Ive read the article and I still don’t understand the title.

Melifonwu will likely be a backup for a couple of years at least and might ultimately get moved to safety so that the play stays in front of him - he has no idea what’s going on around him. Why would you take a project like that instead of a generational tackle prospect?

He is NOT a day one starter. His instincts are terrible. You don’t go need-shopping in the draft, that’s how you end up with Torrell Troupe over Gronk. You’ve been here a long time, I’m shocked you still haven’t absorbed this.

The draft is not for patching holes. The “we needed a cornerback” folks don’t understand how this works. Taking the 12th best corner over a premium pass rusher or LT prospect because you need a corner is the kind of dumb decision-making that produced decades of futility.

He’s a similar player to Chris Jones of the Chiefs, just a few inches shorter. But he’d be a great interior disrupter and I suspect he’ll back up Oliver in year one.

Holy smokes this is the best draft of my lifetime so far. The sanity of it, Beane’s explanations for the picks, I’m blown away. This is the approach some of us have been urging them to take for DECADES. Brown’s mirroring/feet, punch, perseverance and attitude are shockingly good. He’s a potential Gold Jacket right tackle and no I’m not overstating it.

Watching him, he plays like a slightly shorter version of Chris Jones. He’s going to wreak havoc.

Congrats, Bob.

Do they move him inside? He’s Oliver‘s alternate?

Got no argument with trying to be more difficult to pass the ball against.

Steelers are having a TERRIBLE draft. Somehow got slower this weekend.

Well, then you're in luck - you're dead wrong.

Mac Jones' real name is McCorkle. That is all.

Yup. Dude has Gumby arms with stick 'em hands.

I hear you. Track speed aside, though, Kearse was probably the most violent player of his era. The offense would throw a bubble screen to a WR and the WR would gain 15 yards and then, unexpectedly (to me), he would be obliterated from behind by a heat-seeking missile that was Jevon Kearse. Kearse had DK Metcalf's body and he'd throw himself violently all over the field. I'd never seen something like that and haven't seen it since. He fizzled out early, probably because of how violently he played. I don't see that same suddenness when I watch Rousseau - he seems to be more of a Gumby-armed octopus, which is fine with me - he'll probably play a lot longer than Kearse did as a result.

Ojulari is a worse athlete if you watch the tape - he has zero bend - he gets around the edge fast but then starts flailing - literally swimming in the air - when he tries to change direction toward the QB.

Cannot believe they wasted a high draft pick on a Renaissance painter.

Well no. Kearse was an all-time athletic freak. Like Rousseau a LOT but he’s not Kearse.

That is EXACTLY the right approach with a pick at 30. Take the high upside athlete at a premium position.

Great pick.

Pick tippers have ruined this for me - I’m out.
