2022 General Draft Thoughts

haha keep 'em as long as no one touches my guys:

Hollywood
Madubuike

stingley's probably the closest thing to "my dude" in this class - but feel like he's more of "everyone's dude" than just mine lol
nope, Stingley's been my dude since I watched his dad get paralyzed. I had forsight that he would have a grandson that would be a stud.

Of course Jordan Davis is @lost's son. He's wanted him ever since the college season started. I've wanted him since December, so for active members, he's mine.

Lost, I know you're reading this. Bring your punk ass back bruh!
 
Walter Football was on point regarding Wyatt and off field concerns. Todd McShay stated the same during podcast with Mel.
Walter Football gets a bad rap ( for their mock drafts?), but their pre-draft rumors and visits are usually accurate
 
I'm really hoping we package some picks to slide up and grab an impact player. It just feels like were really missing "that guy". I know we love our middle round picks, but if we can swing a deal that gives up a three+four this year and a fourth next year I'm all for it. The success rate of a fourth round guy is between 10-15% depending on the article your reading. I'm ok giving that up if we land a guy like Jermaine Johnson, Kyle Hamilton, Gardner... etc. I'd love Thibodeaux but I see him going top 5 and that's well out of our jumping range.

I've already put in my adoption papers. They are approved because fairness dictates, first come, first serve. Not, first desire, first awarded. I thought you were my friend!
 
How y'all feel about Karlaftis?
A lot of folks here don’t like him, and I understand, he’s got shortcomings on film and he has certain metrics that historically don’t favor him, but I think he plays with a level of explosiveness and straight up asswhoop that can’t be quantified. If we took him my excitement level would all depend on who’s on the board.
 
can you explain why you feel this way in detail? I have questions about him as well but it's more about his length, but his effort, hand usage and physicality is very good.
I have seen him being blocked by tight ends. he doesn't appear instinctive vs. the run and misses sweeps his way. Could be just reps in that regard. Excellent power and excellent hands....not much in the way of inside counter. Clunky spin move. I am mostly concerned that he won't hold up vs. the run. Change of direction not great laterally...gap assignment and backfield awareness lacking at times. Too often "almost" making plays by spiking and giving up his gap. Can't recall seeing him take an OT( though he might have and I have forgotten) locking out and shedding and making a play on the edge which is a big deal over here.

In short, 14 is rich to me though a year from now he might improve in these areas

what are these off-field concerns - did they say anything on the pod?

EDIT: just listened to the podcast and mcshay didnt mention any concerns when talking about wyatt - talked about the conditioning questions with davis and that's all...

Could be but everyone runs faster at their pro day.. i thought everyone knew this by now? he could possibly run a 4.3 but if it was combine it likely wouldve been a 4.4

that's not been true for a couple of years now
especially with the fast track at the combine this year, seems like the pro day times are pretty consistent with the combine

a 4.37 at the pro day may well have been a 4.33 at the combine this year tbh
