lol wut. We play 2 LBs. We’re 3 deep at both spots and the 2 LB positions are pretty interchangeable.

You’re way off here. That’s fine as a starting lineup, but Onyema being the only other guy on the roster over 6’7 is completely unacceptable. Terry has to add another quality big, or it’s a massive, inexcusable failure on his part.

Good stuff, Helobious. I completely agree with you. This guy flipping to UF for the next 4 months until Sunbelt Billy is fired would be a huge jolt for the program.

This is bad news for Texas. The Elk is hand-picking the best 3 star recruits and MAC transfers in the country. We are going to be in for a world of hurt this Fall.

Not saying anything about your mock, just that this draft went more expected than usual, so I’d guess the number right was probably higher this year across the board. Murphy was a good pick if you got that one.

I mean 9 out of the first 10 picks were pretty much chalk, so I would guess most people got a lot right this year. 1-5 especially were pretty much guaranteed if there weren’t trades.

Uhhh, did you watch him play this year? He’s a terrible blocker for his size and doesn’t put in enough effort.

I was talking about people who say a guy would’ve been available later in the draft. It’s impossible to know, and it’s not like Morgan was way off where some draft guys had him rated.

Worthy seems like more of a Chiefs pick

Cracks me up when people say stupid shit like this. Based on what? Dane Brugler, who’s probably the best draft guy out there, hard Morgan No. 29 overall and his No. 2 G.

Not a reliable source, but I don’t give a fuck because they’re telling me what I want to hear! https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/s/nIRxcZDfFs

lol wut

You shut your whore mouth! He’s going to Ferrari, dammit!

I haven't followed the draft nearly as much as I used to, but I'll throw my hat in the ring because even the experts are mainly just throwing shit at the wall, especially since we don't know what teams these guys will go to or how they will be utilized. I'm also adding some deep cuts for guys who won't go first round but will be really good. Boom: Joe Alt: Projects as a HOF OL. Reminds me of Joe Thomas. Cooper DeJean: He had an injury so he missed the combine, but he went crazy at his pro day with a 9.89 RAS, and his film is crazy good. He has instincts and makes plays. If CB doesn't work out, then he'll still be a hit at safety or nickel. Byron Murphy: He still has a ton of room left before he hits his ceiling, and I expect him to keep progressing like he has at Texas. Graham Barton: Not expecting him to be a HOFer, but he'll be a Pro Bowler somewhere on the OL. It's not clear if he can stick at OT yet, but he could easily move inside and be a great G or C, and he gives the added benefit of being able to plug in at all 5 spots in a pinch so he creates depth in your OL room. Jonathan Brooks: He's falling because of the injury, but all reports are he's progressing nicely. Some team is getting a first rounder on the second day. Brock Bowers: He's the best TE in college probably ever, and teams nowadays will know how to utilize him. 10-15 years ago he might not work out nearly as well because they'd stick him inline only and his lack of size and blocking would hurt him. Bust: Jayden Daniels: Maybe he comes in and has a Lamar-like impact because his game finds a way to translate to the NFL, but I don't see it. Lamar has always been elite throwing over the middle and showed more ability to progress through reads. Daniels reads one, then scrambles. He takes a ton of sacks, despite being an elite scrambler, takes hard hits when running, and ignoring the middle of the field won't work in the NFL. On top of that, he didn't break out until Year 5 in college, and it was in a system that doesn't translate to the NFL. He's going to a terrible spot in either Washington or New England. Those franchises are not going to set him up for success. Dallas Turner: Same as others have said Tyler Guyton: Maybe it's just my anti-OU bias, but I've never seen it with him, and I think people are overrating his potential. Deep Cuts: Cole Bishop: He was great at Utah, showed really good instincts, tackled well, etc. Then he went and put up an elite RAS of 9.86, including running a 4.45 at 6'2, 206. Johnny Wilson: He's 6'6, 230 with a 4.1 shuttle, 37 inch vert and an elite broad jump and his film shows him getting separation and making a ton of contested catches. I have no idea why he's so far down so many draft experts WR rankings. Kris Jenkins: He was a monster at Michigan who can impact the run and the pass. I think he'll outperform his draft spot. Malik Washington, WR UVA: He reminds me of Zay Flowers, but will probably go in the 3rd round. He put up 111, 1384, 9 TDs in a terrible UVA offense where he was the only real weapon. Ben Sinnott: He's a poor man's Brock Bowers and will be a great offensive weapon for a team in the 3rd round. He had a 9.72 RAS, despite being below average for his size, which means all his testing numbers were elite.

I definitely agree with this and have said something similar before. OL rankings by the sites are more useless than a treadmill or glass of water in Elko’s office. Much better to see who is recruiting the guy hard to determine quality of prospect. The services seem to recognize this and usually change rankings after the fact. Except Rivals, who are too lazy to even pay attention to what schools are recruiting prospects. The whole aggy 2023 class is a good example of this. Bisontis was ranked as a top 100 prospect, yet his OVs were to places like Michigan State, Rutgers, and A&M. Those are not top 100 prospect official visit spots.

Yeah, I had seen this picture of Charles earlier, and I was really hoping Ferrari would go for the darker blue. Looks way better, IMO.

Vasseur has already fixed so many things at Ferrari, if he adds Newey to the mix, then it really could bring in an era of Ferrari titles. The new regs will be very engine-dependent so Ferrari will have to nail that part of it, but if they do, look out. And also if this happens, Lewis has to go down as the best team chooser in the history of the sport. I don’t think anyone could even come close.

Between him and Elko, those two really cover the archetypes of guys who went to A&M.

TIL Charlie Strong posts on Surly under the handle LTTxfan, which actually explains a lot.

My original post was mostly a joke. In all seriousness, I am inclined to give Terry a pass for last year if he can put together a cohesive team this year that meets expectations. Hunter being so terrible at PG and Mitchell being a zero on offense made things extremely difficult, though I do think Terry should’ve recognized those issues last offseason. But if we see another team that doesn’t quite fit and can’t put it together, like last year, then Terry needs to go.
