Good pick. Thought we’d go Edge or WR, but this dude is another top-rated high school star with a good ceiling.

Don’t sleep on Leatherwood

For all the talks about Carter. None of us nor is anybody in the media actually in the room with him evaluating him. Poles sniffed around him and caught a whiff of something he didn’t like. Here’s the thing about Carter: His legal problems, then his performance at the combine, followed by him showi...

I've been out of the house all night, but I am good with this. Obviously, they didn't feel like they could take the gamble on Carter, picked up an extra pick, and grabbed a top player at a position of need. Day 2 going to shore up that D line now. Still out there with up to 2nd round grades: Edge- ...

I don’t get it. Monty, Swift and Gibbs? That’s a crowd.

Fine pick. Thought we could’ve gotten him if we traded down further but what do I know.

Line is set:

LT - Braxton Jones
LG - Tevin Jenkins
C - Cody Whitehair
RG - Nate Davis
RT - Darnell Wright

No Sko Please

Moving down 1 place and a 2024th 4-rd pick

Oh God no

Oh wow, Cardinals moving up to 6!!

If Jalen Carter doesn’t go to Seahawks or Lions, he’ll likely fall to Bears

There goes #42 as a possible trade (down) scenario.

Draft night is here and it’s your decision. You’re on the clock. You put together a 5 player draft board, and you’re ready to pick based on that availability and that priority order. But be realistic (i.e., no QBs, no Anderson). Who are you going to pick with #9, or if you choose to trade down? I’d ...

I want to trade down What are the realistic trade scenarios/partners? * Would Jets move up from 13 and give us 42 or 43? * Or Seahawks would want to move up from 20 and give us 37? Maybe if they didn’t have 2 1sts, but they do * Don’t think Steelers would want to give away 32 to move up 8 spots. Do...

Fair enough. Just for my own benefit, can you please link the scouting profiles and measurements for the position including the 2023 draft class? The top T prospects, plus Skoronski ht wt arms 40 Paris Johnson 6063 313 36.13 - Broderick Jones 6053 313 34.75 4.97 Darnell Wright 6053 333 33.75 5.01 A...

If drafted at 9 and moved inside to LG and starts for 10 yrs, named All Pro 3x. That would be a helluva pick. If drafted at 9 plays 10 yrs at LT. Starts over 90% of the games (misses a few due to minor injury, 162 out of 180), makes a couple of Pro Bowls. Solid, dependable, not a HOFer. Would that ...

Could it be correlation vs causation? Just because no tackle played at this arm length means his arm length is a hindrance to playing the position at a high level. Again, I’m no scout. We shall see. It's not like we pulled the thresholds out of thin air. They're the NFL's thresholds, and as @wab ri...

We’re talking about 1.5 inches. We're sitting in here, and he’s supposed to be a great prospect, and we in here talking about 1.5 inches. I mean, listen, we're talking about 1.5 inches, not his game, not his game, not his game, we talking about 1.5 inches. What are we talking about? 1.5 inches? We'...

Bryce Young, followed by trading his rights to Carolina for DJ Moore, their 9th overall selection, a 2nd, and a 1st in 2014

Any updates on what shape he’s in (since he Jamarcus Russelled his pro day)? I live in Georgia and been following everything I can on Carter. There haven’t been any news or sightings whatsoever on the local stuff. Love them Dawgs, but I’m way too weary of this guy. Heck, even Falcon fans are concern...

Going into the draft, this is my positional view (only includes what we have in viable starters IMHO) and why I’d expect the draft to go with the best of the following positions, in priority order: OT and EDGE, then CB and/or DT, then WR, then S QB (1) - Fields. Set here. RB (1) - Herbert, plus Fore...

Edmunds will/should be Mike correct?

First pick: Choice 1: 7 pts - Paris Johnson Jr (OT) Choice 2: 4 pts - Jalen Carter (DT) Choice 3: 1 pt - Peter Skoronski (OT) Second pick: Choice 1: 8 pts - B.J.

wulfy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 12:32 pm The reason he wants to be traded is that he's in his 5th Year Option and wants to be a LT, not a RT or an OG.

With that in mind, I don't think he makes sense.

Plus he lead the league for LTs with 12 sacks given up.

All there is to know. Good post.

How do you explain paying Edmunds 18M per year then? That flies in the face of this post IMO. We could have had a 4x pro bowl LT for 2M less than an off the ball LB. Because the team only had one linebacker under contract so they kinda needed LBs. Because he drafted a LT already and clearly had no ...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FM3aMicWYAUFwOb.png Bears scheme calls for athletic lineman. Brown might be a fit in Cincy, and he may have been in KC, but not here. We all should be getting used to this by now. Poles is not a trout, he does not bite at shiny objects. And he is a value investor, he wil...

My exact thoughts in a tweet.

If this is how things are really projecting, no bueno. At all.

For the money, Jones is. Who cares? If the Super Bowl is won by having the lowest cap spend in the league then we might have a dynasty on our hands. But as long as players actually play the games, pro bowl LTs tend to help. 16M is a bargain for a 4 time pro bowler who just dominated in the playoffs...
