  1. Gaines is a tough call. He was good his first two years, not top 5 overall pick good, but decent sack production. Then he fell off and dies at 26.
  2. I remember Bills fans being obsessed with Darron Lee. Justin Hunter is another. I am shocked that Brady Quinn didn’t make it. I thought he was a sure thing. I also thought DeShone Kizer would be good. I wanted Joey Harrington bad. I still think he could have made it if he went to a better situation. I loved Jake Locker.
  3. I think it is a combination of both, its all about projection, but if a guy is too slow, he likely can’t hang. But I agree games take precedent.
  4. Imo that comp has to do with how they might be used as pros. Dugger is a crazy explosive athlete, to me that is the difference. But Johnson is coming from a much higher level program so he’s way less raw. I like Johnson a lot, but it seems talking heads are knocking him down based on the combine. It will be very interesting to see where he goes.
  5. I read somewhere that they really like him and Schmitz. Which leads me to believe they want Tippmann.
  6. Oh yeah I agree. But that is why these guys went in the 5th and the 7th respectively. That's just the way the draft works.
  7. He's a weird prospect. His athletic scores at the combine were bad. His 40 was ok. 8 on the bench press is abysmal for a college football player. So you have this kind of position less player who has ok size but is not a great athlete. What do you do with him?
  8. Should we eliminate Benton since we picked him last time? I maybe add Luke Musgrave, Jaquelin Roy, Gervon Dexter, Zach Pickens edges Tuli Tuipulotu and Byron Young Also feels early for Nate Dell, but they have shown a lot of interest for what it's worth.
  9. With the 56th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select DJ Turner, DB, Michigan The Jags need help in the secondary and especially at the nickel spot and I think Turner is good value here. Speed to kill and I think he fits in really well in the Jags Defense. He's an older prospect, but he can step right in and start. Grabbing Myles Murphy and DJ Turner I am pretty happy with our draft. I wasn't able to grab help for Trevor Lawrence, but I don't feel the value was there when I was picking. @LEBills and the Giants are on the clock
  10. They cant be serious with those. Seems like an April fools joke
  11. Ah gotcha my bad. I thought about Kincaid in Rd1 for Jacksonville but thought him and Engram were too similar.
  12. The techniques he learned there could come together eventually. That’s what happened to Kittle. He wasn’t much pf anything coming out, but he had that baseline. LaPorta is better than Kittle was at this point in his career. I know Kittle is one in a million, but the fundamentals he learned at Iowa gave him a shot. He transformed his body and here we are. So I think there is something to be said for that.
  13. I think of it a little different. To me edge guys can play 4-3 end and 3-4 OLB. A base DE can play 4-3 end or 3-4 end (5tech). Groot and Miller are edge players, Basham, AJ are DEs imo. 3-4 5 tech is usually longer and heavier. Prototype 3-4 end is like JJ Watt, Calais Campbell. Those guys could play 4-3 end, but couldn’t OLB.
  14. He was my #2 at 24 for Jacksonville but Murphy was still there
  15. Terrible stuff. And he played through it and that means a lot imo.
  16. He seems like the type of player they love, versatile, can rush the passer inside or outside, process guy. I like him more than others, but I really like Mazi Smith too. This rumor could be an indication they are going DL, or it could be an indication of nothing at all. I agree with the idea that he could be the "stealth" guy.
  17. Not a recent comp, but this is like the Heath Shuler trade. High draft pick, flopped, 7th rounder beat him out. He was traded for a 3 and a 5.
  18. It was shades of Clay Bennett moving the SuperSonics...snake
  19. I think it’s only a solid investment if those guys you bring in are better than what we have. I don’t see that with this draft.
  20. But that’s what happens every year. Depends if there is a run on corners etc etc. People are going to go nuts when Keion White goes in the first. All that means is that the perception of all the talking heads didn’t match reality. And it always happens. Murphy is a top 10 player depending on which talking head we read. Some guys have Tyree Wilson falling into the 20s. Perception is usually close, but typically a bit off, especially in a weak draft like this.
