The only QB I'd be excited to go up for would be Richardson. Don't see the upside for Stroud and while I can see Levis' appeal, I really don't like the way he throws, his upper body is all stiff, he's so wonky throwing left, to me that's way harder to fix than footwork. I think Richardson's career is very destination dependent, if he's drafted by a team who knows what to do with quarterbacks he could be a star.
What do you mean too much Wynn in Wright? They seem like very different prospects.
Richardson's athletic ability, arm strength & pocket presence makes both his floor & his ceiling so high. More than any QB prospect in a long time I want him to go to a team I don't mind rooting for.
Uncoachable and questionable work ethic, those are the rumors circulating and why Wright is likely dropping. Otherwise he'd be right up there with Skor, Johnson, Jones based on tape.
Not sure that’s the issue with Wynn at least not until
Yeah, my hierarchy of happiness would be something like...
Silly me - thought Wright would fall to the 20s and could snag Campbell early in the 2nd. That said, very happy to get Gonzales. And Witherspoon and Forbes drafted ahead? Not sure what I'm missing
I can understand Witherspoon given what Seattle already has and Pete's penchant for guys that play with an edge, but I agree on Forbes. I don't see that one working out for Wash. I actually worried when they were on the clock that they would pick Levis and leave BB to decide between Forbes and Gonzalez. Happy it broke the way it did.
Have to say I agree with you @SMU_Sox. And thanks again for all your contributions here. Really learned a lot about guys I would've otherwise known nothing about. Made watching the draft this year much more entertaining than usual, despite all the pomp and circumstance.
He's a bit of a weird fits for the Pats isn't he? His build is more of a DT than a DE, but he's much smaller than BB likes playing inside a lot. And while he's clearly a sick athlete the football skills don't line up as well (e.g. he doesn't wrap up well, doesn't get tackles/sacks when he does get to the backfield).
The OTs they signed are either way too old (Reiff) or guys who are depth guys. They did not address their OT problem at all, and the three late round interior guys.......maybe? They picked a kicker in the fourth round, they reached on at least one player, if not two.
To be frank John, I don't care that I am on ignore. You have always been thin skinned and I will call bullshit where I see it. The OT class sucked this year???? Read your first posts in this thread. But more importantly, read your posts from last year and note that your default is to play to what you think folks want to hear. You weren't critical. Pandering to the crowd to build audience for your writing is easy to get sucked into in an era of clickbait and follows, but it does not create value . Sow is a superlative???? Douglas??? Mapu???? Good Lord, John.
I think with Mapu there are a lot of similarities with Dugger and Phillips. Bill loves going big nickel but he also likes linebackers who can take on offensive linemen head on. Mapu is a mix of both. He might be a nickel backer or a dime backer to start next year. Remember Cameron McGrone? He has a similar ability to smash heads downhill. Unlike McGrone he is better in coverage. He probably won't be able to handle covering slots in man but tight ends seems like a possibility. They announced him as an ILB so I would imagine he puts on 10 pounds or so. The strength and conditioning program will work wonders for him.
This adds nothing to the thread. Take any beef you have with SMU to DMs.
Not an OT but what’s your take on BC’s Mahogany? He was getting a lot of press before last year’s offseason injury. What’s your “best case” scenario for him?
I am a sucker for BC offensive linemen even though I know I know don’t scout the helmet. The dude produced on the OL as a RS freshman IIRC? When guys on the OL are holding their own at a young age that is HUGE!
Thanks. He kind of reminds me of Josh Beekman, one of my favorite players when I was there. Hopefully he can regain that form.
