April 29, 20232 yr So LZ says we traded up into the second round to get a C with a third round grade (5 picks after the better C got snagged)?Who’s third round grade? The same media experts that said Will Levis was the best QB in the draft? The only grades that matter are the grades a team makes in building it’s board from film, workouts, interviews. All this fretting of draft position really is ridiculous. How are you building your team and if you’re getting a great fit 13 positions higher than Mel kiper thinks really is irrelevant if they can play. Half these picks won’t be on rosters in three years regardless.
April 29, 20232 yr ^^^ No shit. They took the center with the second to last pick of the 2nd round. Would he have have been a much better value if they had gotten him 2 picks later at the top of the 3rd? Edited April 29, 20232 yr by TonyTexas

Half these picks won’t be on rosters in three years regardless. You were touting LZ’s grades. LZ had the Minnesota center rated higher. Caserio could have pulled the trigger and got him, but waited and got the next guy a rung or two lower. 14 minutes ago, TonyTexas said: ^^^ No shit.

I don’t give a shit where they are picked. I was bitching because he hesitated and got a lower rated player.
April 29, 20232 yr Ringo is going to wind up being a safety in the league. If you want a safety, I can't believe Antonio Johnson is in such a downward spiral. I hope he lasts for the Texans next pick.
April 29, 20232 yr I don’t give a shit where they are picked. I was bitching because he hesitated and got a lower rated player. Is this your first draft?Consensus “ratings” are absolutely meaningless after the first like 20 picks.
April 29, 20232 yr Caserio is Casserly 2.0, throwing away picks. Hard to trust anything this organization does. Edited April 29, 20232 yr by HtownHorn

April 29, 20232 yr Author I think we need a LB too but Coburn\Ojomo are both possibilities for us. Good call @Saint Tacky
April 29, 20232 yr 14 minutes ago, Slacks said: But even that... You don't know if it worked for a season, if not 3. True. That applies to any round, any pick. Today, however, as I sit here farting into my couch cushions, I can only judge picks on where they were selected versus where they should have been picked, and to a lesser extent the needs of the team that drafted him.
April 29, 20232 yr 49 minutes ago, Saint Tacky said: You know, Keondre Coburn may be an option @ 174 for Houston. I don’t think DL is the way they’ll go. Drafted 2 and brought in Ridgeway, Winovich and Rankins in the offseason.
April 29, 20232 yr That’s a good value pick Unfortunately, it means we’ll no longer have Mr. Irrelevant Edited April 29, 20232 yr by TonyTexas

April 29, 20232 yr 7 minutes ago, Saint Tacky said: 191 and 201 woops. They just traded 201 for Eagles' 230 and 248. Probably going to take UGA at 201. Edited April 29, 20232 yr by Saint Tacky
April 29, 20232 yr Demeco going to love having 3 LBs from Alabama starting. Then add in the WR as well.

April 29, 20232 yr If the Eagles meet the Texans in the Super Bowl it will be an SEC title game ... and, will go somewhere on the wall of champions outside of Kyle Field. Edited April 29, 20232 yr by Saint Tacky Aggie dig
April 29, 20232 yr I wonder if Tanner McKee was who the Eagles were targeting when they made this trade (Nevermind. I thought that was #191, which the Eagles just traded to the Bucs) Edited April 29, 20232 yr by Saint Tacky
April 29, 20232 yr 50 minutes ago, Saint Tacky said: Es verdad. They just corrected the tweet to 191. Texans received two 7th-round picks (230 and 248) for pick no. 191 (6th). The Eagles just flipped 191 for a 5th rounder next year. There goes Coburn to the Chiefs
April 29, 20232 yr Hutchison could get a ton of playing one. Hope he shows up Edited April 29, 20232 yr by tx 3 putt
April 29, 20232 yr Both the Penn State and ND guys are centers but have experience at guard as well. Hopefully one steps up in the middle this year, that’s the massive weak spot on the OL. Will be interesting to see what veterans are available in the next couple of weeks as teams make cap cuts based on the younger/cheaper dudes they just drafted. Will be mostly depth at this point, but we need upgrades there as much as the starting poisitions. The trade up was expensive for sure, but I fucking love Will Anderson - I think he’s going to be a star. Glad we pushed the Cardinals 4th rounder to a 3rd rounder next year, essentially cancels out that part of the move up…
April 29, 20232 yr Brandon Hill Safety Pitt @ 248 Hill redshirted his first year in Pittsburgh (no statistics in four games played) coming off a strong career at Wekiva High School in Florida. He started twice in 10 games played in 2020 (27 tackles, 1.5 for loss, one interception -- returned for a score -- and two forced fumbles) before starting 13 of 14 appearances in 2021, garnering second-team All-ACC honors (81 tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups). Hill was an honorable mention all-league pick in 2022 (67 tackles, two pass breakups), starting 12 games and then opting out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft. -- by Chad Reuter Edited April 29, 20232 yr by Saint Tacky
April 29, 20232 yr So, we drafted two interior guys to replace our shitty OC, and we are looking for more interior OL since our 1st round OG from aggy is also shitty and we want to replace him. Great. Seems like we got this shit figured out. This franchise is so fucked with McNair and Caserio.

You realize everyone picked from like 1PM today forward has like a 12% chance of being on the 53-man roster all year, right?

April 30, 20232 yr Texas was dominated by a 6th round pick in a Hutchinson. I’m optimistic about the future, but shit like this worries me. Not mad at the Texans draft. I’m in the B range.

April 30, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, Slacks said: I knew this was coming if I scrolled for 5 seconds. I’m good with it if you build in a redshirt year. Bama starters tend to show up for the NFL needing surgery. I guess those Saban death stares keep players out of the training room.
