Some of the edge guys would have been useful.
Hunter will go where the money is. Big time free agents take the big deals. Unless the deals are really close, Hunter will be going to the highest bidder.
Additionally, it's Oregon's pro day, not just Nix's. Oregon is a big time talent producer, of course the Pats will be there.
Every team will probably be represented. I'm interested in Troy Franklin. Could drop to R3 and be a nice pick.
yeah, though QB coach going does likely mean he's there to see Nix.
Yep, these tweets are so damn misleading. Here's a bunch of names, in addition to Nix, that will be out there:
Meh... you don't send your QB coach to watch Bucky Irving or Brandon Dorlus, they're clearly doing work on Nix.
Meh, what else is the QB coach supposed to be doing on March 12th when there is only one pro day taking place that has any talent? These guys don't just attend pro days for one specific player or one specific draft. They're taking notes for the future too. When McDaniels had the #7 pick, and Jimmy G. under contract, he was still attending pro days and evaluating QB's he had no chance of getting in the draft, like Stroud and Bryce Young.
Oh I don't think I read much into it beyond... they want to take a look at Nix. I was just pointing out that is why McCartney is there in all likelihood. I don't think it's some tell that they plan to trade back for Nix or anything (I really don't want Nix), just that Nix isn't incidental to the guys they sent.
Why do they even call it "Bo Nix's pro day?"
So those players were:
If this isn’t the BB the GM got BB the coach fired! I’m not sure what it could be. You omitted Jordan Richards (bad) and Winovich (bad) and Thuney (All Pro). No need to pay Thuney when we can waste a 1st on Strange.
If the new regime trades up and selects a place kicker in round 4 that's when it will get real.
I didn't omit them.... Richards and Winovich were traded (for a late pick and Mack wilson respectively) Thuney got tagged. I guess if you go a year further they let him walk.
Seems simple. There were about 70(?) rostered, IR'd, and practice squadders last season. They didnt all suck.
You omitted they were bad and traded which you pointed out for others who were bad and the best one they tagged and let walk and he was an All Pro. That entire list is a disaster for a GM.
I didn't mean to imply it wasn't, I was saying that he generally cut bait via trade, and that the past wasn't generally a case of Bill not re-signing players so much as not many good players making it to FA (they either got traded or were bad/injured), so the post quoting his past when asked whether Bill would have re-signed guys was pointless.
There's at least one poster here that you might want to pink for a week if that happens, just so you can see other posts.
Well Jennings just re-signed, so there's another talking point for us. 4 picks from the 2020 draft have been re-signed or tagged.
The narrative around the 2020 draft for a while was the busting out of the 2 tight ends picked in the 3rd round. Glad to see that has shifted, but there was a period of time where this draft was looking bad. But Bill's problems went well beyond Mac and the 2020 draft; the crucial 2022 draft is looking, shall we say, marginal at best.
At the end of the day, Dugger-Uche-Jennings-Onwenu seems like a pretty good draft. They blew 2 third rounds picks but didn't draft at all in round 1. It broke the long string of not resigning guys, too.
Hired! This is basically VAR in football football.
not getting us stuck in no man's land... pure trash year 3 means you can move on, and have the pick to do it. No Daniel Jonesing here
Yea but we nailed those Draft Eligible FA CBs EVERY YEAR!
