Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I think I read something like Taylor's punting resulted in the opposition requiring 3 more first downs per game (as opposed to touchbacks, etc). For a bend-but-don't-break defense like ours, that is GOLD. Any opportunity where we can pin someone inside the 10 yard line, I fucking want it. I watched...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
There are positions you can get damn good player in the 4th round, starter level or better. IOL, RB, TE and for you @dplank safety or linebacker all can be had in the 4th and can develop into players. I don’t think it was a deep draft and the talent got thin at that point. I think the chances of To...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
He has a big leg, but his ability to place the ball is what is most enticing to me. Rugby/Aussie Rules guys know how to put English on the ball and can make it bounce how they want. When you can pin a team inside the 5 it’s damn near a turnover as teams typically just try and create a little room f...

Re: R1 P9: Rome Odunze, WR - Washington

If he averages 1100 yards per year for the remaining 4 years we are assured we have him (using the 5th year option) he breaks the all time yardage record ...

Re: R1 P1: Caleb Williams, QB - USC
I’ve been watching a lot of CW tape. Mostly from 2022. He gets into trouble with his hero passes. The jump passes, throwing across his body to the middle of the field, etc. but when he’s locked in, sliding around the pocket, and then throwing from a stable platform. Good Lord. He generates so much ...

Re: UDFA
That seems really high for a UDFA - unless PS salary can be counted towards the guarantee. 17 wks of PS comes out to 204k. So it would essentially be guaranteeing "you'll at least be on the PS all year or we'll pay you as if you were". But, even so, I feel like the 200k would count agains...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
I am stupidly excited about this pick, I hope his game translates to the NFL and we don't try to tinker with his approach too much.

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
In some drafts, this would've been a reach. In 2024, the late fourth round is where everyone seemed to start picking RBs and Canadian linemen. Instead of a dart throw, we got a guy whose upside is perennial All Pro. Sure, he's a punter, but he's the only guy picked nearly this late in the draft who...

Re: R5 P144: Austin Booker, Edge - Kansas
Some quoted excerpts from Bob McGinn's annual anony-scout quotes. “I think he probably came out because the defensive side of the (draft) is lighter,” one scout said. “Shouldn’t have. You may not be able to count on him immediately. He’s a really, really interesting guy. He can be a designated rush...

Re: R4 P122: Tory Taylor, P - Iowa
Outstanding pick, it seems that all my Sundays/Mondays/Thursdays bitching about not pinning teams inside the 10 yardline/5 yardline may be coming to an end! For real, this guy played a huge role in saving Iowa's offense. His ability to flip fields and pin offenses inside the 10 yard line will be a h...
