Per Beane, sounds like they liked his smarts, instinct, and versatility. They think he can play inside and outside.
like other speculated, they trust this Baylor coach, who is a straight shooter and said Bernard is outstanding.
I am not saying that Marino or cover 1 is wrong (or right) on the pick. My comment was more general— I don’t care for Marino generally, at least compared to the cover 1 guys. The cover 1 analysis is just generally more deep and data and film driven.
Kind of better than reaching on a receiver. This is the kind of “receiver” we needed— hopefully can finally have a great screen and check down game.
Herbert throws 2-yard dump offs to Ekler who gets like 12 yards out of them. Hoping Cook will be the same kind of weapon.
it is super dumb.
if the Bills stood pat, there was a chance Elam would be gone and they would have had to have reached on a player with a second round grade. I would rather them hedging their risk with a 4th round pick than reach for a guy they probably could get in the second round.
interesting. I used to feel the same way about Texas players under Mac Brown. Super soft and coddled— one of the reasons I didn’t like our infamous Mike Williams pick.
thanks for reminding me that I am getting old!
I just have to say that the deal of the night was the ravens sending Hollywood brown to the cards for a first round pick. I couldn’t imagine giving up a 3rd or 4th round pick for him. Just nuts.
just based on seeing Hutchinson play a lot and my gut instinct, I believe he will be a huge bust. Just an average end. I don’t see him projecting to Bosa or Watt type production, which I assume most are comparing him too.
and his value is based solely on how the 49ers use him in their run- heavy scheme— which is very unique and also which is going to cause him to be constantly injured.
He is not going to last in this league.
