If i am being honest...Stefon Diggs. https://www.si.com/college/2014/11/01/maryland-penn-state-coin-toss-penalty-rivalry

I'd be Giddy. Had to give up my 2nd round pick in 22 to Detroit to move up to 41 - but i'd take that. I cant imagine our offense if we add Harris AND Freiermuth. Cornell Powell could be a late steal as well (not that we need another WR)

Agreed. I was super high on Gesicki coming out (full disclosure I was also fairly high on Hackenberg too but understood the risks there). I like friermuth - but not as much as I liked Gesicki. The “baby gronk” nickname isn’t really fair to him. I can’t see him being THAT good. But still think he would be a welcome addition here - even at 30. my hope is people read WAY too much into parsons character issues and he slips enough for us to go up and get him. But...I wouldn’t give up a ton to move up either.

sure. It’s the potential word. He is a physical freak of nature. That’s what attracted penn state to him. In his 3 years at penn state he has not been a difference maker. In fact last season he declined in his performance and had ZERO sacks. sure he is an athletic freak. Sure he has a high ceiling. But he is also a 90% bust potential to me. He hasn’t shown any ability to develop that raw talent into on field production. If he couldn’t do it at penn state in a college environment that has recently done extraordinarily well in developing talent - I highly doubt he is going to do that in on an NFL team who wants instant gratification and validation of their selection. i hope im wrong (especially if we do pick him). And I wish him the best. I just would be terrified of the “potential” word with him. im all in on parsons and friermuth. But not this kid. Sorry.

NO. PSU homer here. Hard pass.

TLDR. Wow. That’s sad. I’d really like to have him back.

This thread is overblown. Parsons has an ego. Its not unlike any other big time LB. He is not a character concern from what i have seen watching him the last 3-4 years. I wouldn't hesitate to draft him at 30. And if Oweh goes above him - that is a crime. IMO Oweh will be a bust. Parsons has a floor around Trumane Edmonds and a high somewhere around Navarro Bowman. You do that at 30. There is no substantiation of any claim by Isiah Humphries. His claims have been rejected twice by the courts. I'd want a lot more before we drag him through the mud. He didnt play this season. Many players didnt. I feel jipped as he would have been fun to watch. Some of his social media posts critical of the teams play were hard to swallow. But the team and coaches still love him. I wouldnt trade up to get him. But if im in the 12-15 range - you take him. and at 30...its a no-brainer.

The NFL has to find a way to get more exposure out of their games. I can watch virtually any College game I want to each weekend - especially if they are a major ACC, SEC or BIG10 team. I havent missed a Penn State game in 10 years. The NFL needs that capability to reach a broader audience. Every game should be on TV or readily available. ESPN, CBS, Google, Amazon, NFL Network, ABC, FOX - put everygame on TV. I dont see why in 2021 that the business deal the NFL has with DIRECTV is in their best interests.

I'm a Penn State homer...so take it for what thats worth...but im not 100% sold on Parsons. I know thats kinda controversial in my blue and white world- but he came in with great potential, displayed it a few times - enough to put some film up, didnt play this year, and has moderate potential to be a diva. His on field performance (save a bowl game and a couple other games where he was phonominal) didnt live up to his hype. I'd be happy with him, and i get the hype...but he is moderate to high risk/high reward in my opinion. Let someone else take the risk with this kid. And Jayson Oweh...give me a break. A ton of talent, but guy did not produce this year. Smart to come out this year because another year like this one he could go undrafted. Stay away unless you can get him in the 3rd-4th round somehow. Aaron Maybin is my projection for him ...

No trades. I like it. A lot.

Another reason to draft Friermuth!

Of all our FA's - he is the guy we need most from a gap assessment look. Speed is what this team is lacking, and he provided that in spades. Lets keep him around!

I vote for Pat Friermuth.

Getting provoked a bit too

WHERE ARE THE ROLLOUT PLAYS?

havent seen josh roll out once...

They just need a sacrificial Head Coach for 2-3 years. Gotta climb out of this mess with time...

Probably discussed elsewhere...but I wonder if him being in the box causes him to not fully appreciate the on field conditions.

You sure that’s not tosh? Never noticed how they looked alike and have similar mannerisms

As much as I want him back - I have a hard time celebrating this. I don’t want us to succeed because others aren’t. I hope pegula gives him a raise to thank him and ease the pain a bit. He has to be disappointed - and I don’t want our team or coaches in that mindset.

Only problem is we have no running game now...but gotta burn some clock.

I think it IS their backup! Lol

ok....cant get conservative - but also dont need hero ball josh...slow and steady. 6 yard passes...come on!

too windy for the deep game

So...Buffalo IS moving to Los Angeles after all???
