Ehhh rather take Verse there

[mdb1958]

Most mocks that I’m seeing now have Drake Maye going ahead of Caleb Williams…

Caleb Williams hasn't proved himself to be a mature person. Wanting an ownership stake of the team that drafts him is so unrealistic it beggars belief, and saying that he'd sit out the draft if he didn't like the teams likely to pick him looks petty at best.

And let's not forget that Caleb Williams is the first Heisman winner EVER who returned to school and didn't finish in the top 10 of the next season's Heisman vote.

And his team, USC, who is stacked with talent, barely limped to a 7-5 record. They lost to every ranked team on their schedule, and ended the season losing five of their final six games (their only win being a 1 point victory against Cal, who finished the season with a losing record).

Buyer beware.

Cheb, do any of these IDL's present themselves as answers for us? Gholston, O'Connor, Gaines, Deadrin do not seem to offer much.
I give a pass to Logan Hall just because he's 23 and learning to be something he wasnt.

I still like Verse. Don't care if he's falling.

We have Vita Vea as our mainstay in the middle, Kancey was our first rounder, and Hall is still on his rookie deal.

Maybe we add a depth guy later, but I would imagine we choose to use our top draft picks for a more pressing need.

It depends greatly on how we choose to allocate our free agency dollars, my dude. What are we going to do at QB, extend Baker, roll with Trask, sign a different veteran? What about high priority extensions for Evans and AWJ? How's the situation looking for Lavonte and Devin at linebacker?

We answer those questions, we will know a lot more.

[mdb1958]

I just think how our defensive backfield goes is how well we work on the defensive LOS. Also Ryan Neal does not seem to work and I would love to hear the reason we keep using him. Is it possible that no hybrid safety would look good for us

Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims declares as expected first-round pick

Brock Bowers has declared for the NFL draft

[Doctor]

I don't think there was a single Otton target that didn't leave me saying "Bowers would kill in this scheme" all year.

I'm fully ready to OJ again if he should fall.

T'Vondre Sweat - NFL force or do nothing Fatboy?

[mdb1958]

Your stance is all over the place. I don't think it wise for him to play ball catching RB around the LOS, one of those big boys will Gronk him.

[Phantom]

You tell them, lil champ

[Snake]

Bowers is a better prospect than Kyle Pitts and Kyle Pitts went #4 overall. He isn't falling to the mid-first, let alone pick #20.

Bowers is the only player I've watched since Adrian Peterson, who I believed could've been a difference maker in the NFL coming out of high school. He was that good as a true freshman.

Will Shipley declares for the NFL Draft

JJ’s grades from PEE-EFF-EFF

[Phantom]

I think he will go in the top 10 if he plays well at the combine.

Good for the Bucs then.

Then you and the Bucs can enjoy another mediocre year again and again.

Troy Franklin WR to Bucs? I've never heard of him before.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/new ... r-at-no-4/

I like Franklin a lot, he’d be a great fit with or without Evans returning. He reminds of Devonta Smith. He’s skinny, but he checks every box otherwise and has big time upside.

[Snake]

Walter Football (a decent resource, but not the best) has 14 safeties with round 1-5 grades.

Still a lot of undecided prospects all around.

It appears that Wilson still has the same issues at Florida State that he had at Arizona State, when I was following him.

unfamiliar with Arizona Johnny.. FSU Johnny is limited route running and extremely questionable hands.. I'd say he's soft too, but that might be a judgmental take, so I'll exclude that.
