and we are off
did carolina really trade up for another smaller alabama QB?
you think tua breaks easy, he's built like a tank compared to young
he might have all the tools, but he's like 180 pounds in real life he's gonna get broke at some point

can't draft a guard that high

Houston on the clock. Lot of discussion about whether they take a QB.
RashanGary
04-27-2023, 07:22 PM
Damn, a 5’10” 205 lb QB drafted first overall. That’s crazy. But he’s talented. If he was 6’2” 220, he’d be a Joe Burrow level prospect. But the size is a concern.
RashanGary

I think he’ll be a really good tackle.

they said he sat in his room eating fast food and didn't work out at all in order to get up to that weight (not joking). thats why he didn't work out at the combine, and didn't weigh in at his pro day
his playing weight is way below 204
Joemailman

Texans take CJ Stroud - QB - Ohio St.
i think stroud will have the better career, as long as his stupidity doesn't ruin his career like cam newton or jamis winston

5’10 qb number 1
250 pound edge number 3
180 pound corner #5
Teams are going with ball players first so far.

Joe, I am being 100% honest here. You guys know I was always a huge draft nick from like 1983-2019 or so. I didn't even realize the draft was today until I saw it at lunch. QB or CB maybe? I do not care tbh.
King Friday
04-27-2023, 08:15 PM
Bijon is a hell of a RB. Too bad he went to Atlanta.
All right.
Let's see if the Bears Front Office has untucked itself.
nope
they just traded with the team that was right behind them

Don't know about the player (Paris Johnson, OT), but gotta be pretty happy with the events around him if you're a Cardinals fan. Smacks of the deal we pulled with the Saints a few years ago where we ended up with Jaire, although ours was more of a masterstroke because we did it in the teens not in the top-5 region, and of course we got a hell of a player, though the Saints did get a good one, too.

I'd have for sure traded down
smuggler
04-27-2023, 08:42 PM
Like the player, not so sure about the cost. Also the kind of player you know the Patriots would have considered at 14, so I guess that could have been a factor.

Packers are allergic to taking a WR in round 1. But I can't fault this pick. They better go WR and TE in round 2.

Jets should draft a QB to put a chip on Rodgers’ shoulder.
Bretsky
04-27-2023, 08:54 PM
The Milwaukee Bucks and Packers defense are similar.
The Bucks coach is so incredibly deficient you have to stack an overwhelming amount of talent and get some luck to win it all
The Packers DC is such absolute garbage we have to draft players on the Defensive side of the ball year after year after year after year.
He looks alright, although I don't think he ever started.
I LOVE THE STEELERS GRABBING THE OT ahead of the Jets and Karen the ShitBag.
if it helps anyone deal with him, he is a 21 year old redshirt sophomore

He’s literally a carbon copy of Preston. Preston jumped a little better and Van Ness ran a little faster. But same style of player with almost same testing. Same arm length.
Will be good to learn from a guy with such similar skillset.

I know nothing of him other than what I watched on YT.
But, he looked really good.

Never upset when you take quality players in the trenches. Need more of that.

reading a bit on him, he kinda reminds me about what i read about gary during that draft

is this guy big enough to play on the line also?
He's 6-5, 272. That's as big as Z was when he would line up inside.

They didn’t say because he’s white. But alluded to it 2x.
They were talking about Harrell. :lol:
Pick is good and makes sure the defense doesn’t get bullied.

And given Gary's injury, they need a new Gary.

Gary 1/2” shorter and 5 lbs heavier. So Gary slightly more stout
Gary slightly longer arms but both have long arms
Same 40 time
Van Ness better agility numbers
Gary better jumps and bench
In some ways he’s a better athlete than Gary and others not quite there. They’re about equal overall, with slightly different strengths as athletes. But definitely a high upside, elite athlete here.

Can’t help but think a first/second round wide receiver is needed to provide an offensive weapon for the untested quarterback.

Yeah the Vikings are astute enough to “get it”. Drafting a first round wide receiver.

I hope you mean he was dressed like Cosby in the clip, and not that he has Cosby-like behaviors with women.

I’m fine with the pick, but I would have preferred to trade back.
I think they were trying to. They didn't turn the pick in until there were about three minutes left on the clock. My guess is they were taking calls and working the phones but they couldn't get something that seemed worthwhile. Maybe enough teams had moved up that there wasn't much action, or maybe what the Steelers - was it the Steelers? - were offering was not worth it. Or maybe they really did love Van Ness. But it sure took a long time to get that pick in, so I'm guessing they were willing to trade back.
As for the implied racism, have any of the talking heads made any comparisons to . . . wait for it . . . Clay Matthews?
Glad Rashan is comparing the guy to Preston Smith. He's a good player. I like Smith.

Zay Flowers looks like a 14 year old

I read some negative stuff about Flowers - that he didn't really live up to the hype. Just what I read, so as a fan, I'm glad they didn't take him. Also don't love that Tennessee kid, Hyatt, I think his name is, that everyone's floating for day two.

I’m not sure what reports you may have read, but Flowers is a solid dude who cares about football. His downside is small hands and small catch radius.

I don’t want Hyatt. He’s nowhere near as good as Watson was last year. Much smaller, even slower, gives you little RAC. A Will Fuller like, one trick pony.

Agree with Harv on ZayF, he's a good kid from what I've heard. Had to "bulk up" to 180 for the combine. He's 5'9" and when you're that size with 6' corners covering you, your QB is going to have a very tight window. Also, being that small means you're less likely to last 8-10 seasons.
As for Hyatt, the Will Fuller comp isn't far off. GB supposedly likes him, and at 6' with long arms he's a little wiry, but again he's 175-180. If you have him out there he's not going to block, but if you run him and Watson on 9 routes with Doubs and a good TE in there as well you could stress a defense. They have Bo Melton, Hyatt's like a better version of him.
I'd just press and mug the hell out of him until he proves he can beat it. I think he's very explosive but IDK about his agility.

How many times will they say GB fans will like him (because he’s white). Like, wtf? Low key racist ass media.
I mean, most of us cheered because we just traded our HoF white QB so we could start a young black kid so if anyone says that it speaks volumes about that person and says nothing about GB fans.

Z developed absolutely violent hand skills. Kind of wish we still had Mike Smith to work with these guys (including Gary who isn't maxed out yet)

Seeing Van Ness in black and gold reminds me of TJ Watt now. That is probably what finalized this pick for gutes.

That explains why our pick had more hot chics around him.
