  1. Javon Baker- WR Ja’lynn Polk- WR (probably only if he falls to the 3rd or we trade back in the 2nd) Ruke Orhorhoro- DT Cedric Johnson- DE Edgerin Cooper- LB Payton Wilson- LB Trevin Willis- LB Khyree Jackson- CB Javon Bullard- S Cole Bishop- S Dallin Holker- TE (Don’t know if we need another mid-late round TE, but I love this dude) Tip Reiman- TE Tanner Bortolini- OG
  2. I get your point, but what does it achieve? It’s not abnormal to rally behind and invest in a 1st round QB. You don’t use the 4th overall pick and then just not spend resources to set them up to be your franchise guy. Yeah, sometimes it doesn’t work out and GMs lose their jobs over it. And yes, some people are already sold that he’s gonna be elite, but generally most people are just intrigued and see the potential. I’m actually less concerned at this point on how he develops than I am with him staying healthy this year. We’ll never know who he really is if he doesn’t play.
  3. Not surprising but if seems we’re betting on the home-grown talent. I mostly just want Grover and Kenny back back, but I would understand Blackmon as well. That would still leave us with some room to bolster the roster.
  4. I dig it! I like Mitchell as a trade back target as well. Could be really good
  5. 5 QBs in the first 15 picks would be crazy impressive. Not impossible but I don’t think that happens often. Last time was 2021 but before that it was a very long time I think.
  6. I guess as a small comfort, neither of the other two rookie QBs won and perhaps looked worse. Richardson had a good rating until we abandoned that abysmal run game and Jag kept making things difficult for him. Titans and Texans lost
  7. Yeah that’s nuts but then again we had 65 rushing yards and 40 of those was Richardson… yiiiiikes.
  8. It was an okay game. Run game was awful but the defense made some nice plays. Richardson was kind of what you would expect flashed some great things but didn’t look good downfield and had a mistake late that cost us big time. Hope he is fine and we move forward and find a way to fix what hurt us in this one.
  9. still looking like he turned to the side of the Sith, I see xD
  10. While I hate the drama bug visiting us this off season, this feels like a story we have seen dozens of times it’s just that it’s our fanbase’s turn to deal with it. There is of course a bit more nuance with Irsay’s comments added and Taylor’s agent making this seem like a publicity stunt for his own gain, but at its core this happens to teams at this time each and every year.
  11. That was indeed pretty great Ngl. Thanks
  12. To be honest we won’t really know for several months what we’re really lacking but I do think It’s fair to acknowledge that we are somewhat gambling with OL, CB, and LB. I’d say that if hypothetically this turns out to be a great draft class then our three biggest needs are a playmaking TE, an elite WR and and an elite pass rusher (if we are comparing ourselves to championship caliber contenders)
  13. “ He's feeling good She's feeling good We're feeling good, yeah Just hanging out Just having fun We're number one Just hanging out Just having fun I'm a dude He's a dude She's a dude We're all dudes, hey”
  14. Yeah, I’d go A- on paper. I liked the players we chose, we got some high upside depth pieces as well. There’s a ton of athleticism on this team. But the knock, I guess, would be that it’s still a gamble. For the O-line we are gambling that the high paid veterans there take a step forward and the athletic draftees will push them for a role. The QB is an obvious gamble. But frankly it’s a gamble worth taking. It’s all on the coaches now to develop these guys into reaching those ceilings. regardless, for the organization this feels like a big win. I think all these moves will help inject some excitement back into the fanbase early.
  15. Dude I’m so with you on your energy level here haha. I’m loving this draft. 1. QB with serious potential. Check. 2. Trade back and get more picks. Check. 3. Get a corner who can be a starter. Check 4. Get a WR who can have an early impact. Check. 5. Get some O-line help. Check. 6. Inject our team with more youth and depth. Check. But that doesn’t even cover the fact that the guys they got were all guys I like and none felt like reaches. Who knows how this will all pan out. There’s no saying anyone can’t be a bust. But this is about as a good a draft on paper as I could have hoped for.
  16. Man oh man. Checking the boxes. Trade downs, got a player I like at a position we need. Good times.
  17. I really like the first four picks and don’t have much issues with the sound of the other guys either. This kind of proves the thought that even with trading back we can’t fix everything. Because my only concerns is if we have enough weapons for Richardson. But I do think protecting him and helping Taylor with a new OG still helps our offense a lot. We also could use depth a LBer imo.
  18. Voted with the top results (I didn’t vote for Young because I just don’t see if happening). I personally want Richardson and I full accept the risk. But the upside is wild and frankly, as a fan, this guy will be so fun to watch. but I think we’ll go Levis. He also has a ton of upside, has a great arm, and can honestly run quite well too. I’m not really too sure why but he does just feel like a guy we would want, especially since Ballard is a pretty conservative guy. Levis is close to if not already pro ready. frankly I would be fine with any of the top 4 projected guys. If Stroud falls, then I wouldn’t blame the team, I think we could do great things with Levi’s, but Man, Richardson is exciting prospect.
