He’s a little too wordy, better to be briefer/more concise

What happened with Klemm, he just vanished. Which def didn’t help matters last year.

That’s the kind of scenario Mayo alluded to the other day when he said we now have a lot of versatile OLmen and the team will figure it out.

The prevailing feeling is that we got a good haul but it could have been better. Polk looks good but we couldn't land Legette, then we turned away from McConkey and Mitchell, then traded down but maybe at that point we should've pivoted to OT and take Paul or Suamataia, then go WR later. Then...

We have to see how these picks work out, but I think the confusion among fans is: - Maye at 3: no confusion there, that's a potential home run, and a trade down was risky and wouldn't have worked. This guy can be a stud a-la-Herbert. Very happy with the result from pick 3. - Polk at 37: good...

Mafi is out. Everyone seemed to feel that Sow was ok, but maybe he becomes a backup G/T? I think Strange is safe. Maybe Robinson projects as a center who'd take over next year? That's all I can think of, but wouldn't he have been there at 110 or even a little lower?

I'm not betting the ranch on it, but it's possible Tyquan emerges this year.

It would have been a 5th rounder

stretching it all out for TV ad $$

trade down 10 spots, get a high 4th, then move up from 68 to about 48-50 by giving up both high 4th's. Draft at about 42 and 50.

The benefits of cratering at 4-13 are not only that you get the 3rd pick, and you also are granted time to rebuild. Nobody expects this team to come close to making the playoffs this year, so they were free to take a 21 year old who has huge upside but needs a year of bench time.

Cousins has more career earnings than probably anyone in history and has never shown loyalty to any team. It's always just about the dollars to him, so he has nothing to be mad about. If I were an Atlanta fan, though, I'd be pissed that the management doesn't know what the hell they're doing...

yes they do. They had two and traded one away.

If we're judging the OL and QB as of today, prior to the draft, then: - QB play will be improved. Brissett handles pressure better and doesn't turn the ball over, so those things alone = better. The offensive coaching staff will be a lot better, resulting in better QB play. Our WR's are better...

This thread is why we need to manufacture draft capital from our #3 pick, so that we're picking 3 times in the top 40 - e.g.: - if we deal with Minnesota, we're picking at 11, 23, 34, 68 (and possibly use the 68 to trade back up from 11 to 7 or 8) - or a smaller trade-down to 6 for the Giants...
