  1. Finished with LSU OL who plays both tackles and set LSU record for games started, and Oregon State’s TE who I guess is another big physical guy so obviously we’re going on a certain direction here. This is the direction the 49ers and Ravens have typically taken in my mind, so that’s encouraging. Caserio says they plan to sign 10-12 UDFA.
  2. And the best way to draw free agents is to win. So maybe set the stage for that for next offseason. Won’t be a big draw this year but hopefully the pieces start to come together in the fall.
  3. It’s a dumb Walker Little joke. I didn’t go to Episcopal either. Regardless, like this pick. If the Tigah pans out, this will be a very good draft. Let’s get an edge rusher to close.
  4. I have classes with Thomas Booker. He wore a Texans shirt to Stanford yesterday. Take that for what it’s worth.
  5. Scouting report from Lance Zierlien: Overview It's a fun afternoon of tape study watching Pierce play the game like a coiled spring ready to explode on each snap. He's an urgent runner with twitchy downfield burst, tackle-breaking leg drive and outstanding balance through contact. He reads and reacts to block development quickly and creates additional yardage with both power and subtle shiftiness. Pierce was highly productive (16 total touchdowns) in 2021 despite an embarrassingly low usage rate by the coaching staff. He has plenty of tread left on the tires and fits into any run-blocking scheme as a quality future starter or member of a RB tandem.
  6. True, but just following up on my idea of going DT and DE today. If we do that, we could go any combo of offense with other three picks and have set solid foundation.
  7. Also it doesn’t do fuckall if you have great DBs or LBs if you can’t stop their OL or pressure their QB. We must be feeling super good about our current DL situation… and not sure how we could be…
  8. Picks today: 4th - 107 5th - 166, 170 6th - 205, 207 Needs: OL, RB, TE, DL, DE I wouldn’t mind going heavier on OL and DL and going free agent with RB and TE. Plenty of good free agent RBs out there, and it’s not a year in which we will be expecting to compete for anything major so no reason to start the clock or the carry-count on a long-term RB.
  9. He’s a Houston legacy who’s extremely tied into the league and plugged into the Texans and several other teams directly. He is given info direct from teams in exchange for being a media outlet when they need one to get stories out etc. All this really tells you is who they want. Whether they are there on the board when it’s time to pick is the only variable.
  10. We were second to last in pass yards per game surrendered and third to last on yards per pass attempt surrendered. CB was a good pick. Would’ve preferred Sauce but I think Stingley is very good and better built. Only question is if he stays healthy (which is a bad gamble at pick 3). We were dead last in rush yards per attempt last year. Taking a mauler at guard was a good choice, especially in light of it netting us a fourth in two fifths to take the guy we probably would’ve taken anyway. Also improved pass pro. Would’ve preferred Jordan Davis because fucking people up like he does up front on D has a crazy impact on the whole game, but I don’t think we necessarily failed either pick.
  11. Jesus, I see this conversation is going great.Keep up the good work.
  12. You know I don’t hate it. We had two first rounders and went D on one and O with the other.
  13. Jermaine. Don’t overthink this one. Make your new CB even better by getting pass rush,
  14. That’s Sir Sirjabari to you!
  15. That’s Sir Sirjabari to you!
  16. Two things: 1. Shut the fuck up about this fucking loser. 2. Have whatever wedding or reception you want. Who gives a fuck.
  17. Fuck yeeeeeeeeah
