Do not overrate what he did to Syracuse. I was born & raised in Syracuse & have been a fan for what seems like 100 years LOL. Syracuse is awful, especially against the good teams.

 

[SECTION 11]

Palm Springs is one of my favorite airports. Yep.

Getting excited about pressure stats is silly. Marcus Golden was the king of pressure stats early in his career. You have to match some stats with the pressures for the pressures to actually be meaningful.

I do recall being told repeatedly that he wasn’t in the bosa, Garrett, parsons class…

4. Arizona	4.9	1.2%
5. NY Giants	5.1	1.8%
6. Washington	6.2	6.4%
7. NY Jets	6.3	5.7%
8. New England	6.3	7.7%
9. Minnesota	6.9	16.3%
10. Houston -> Arizona	7.3	15.8%

 

[CardNots]

which teams make their projected wins rounded up?

 

[TheCardFan]

Who are your top 5 WR's at this point?

If we don't go WR in round 1 - who are you hoping would be there in round 2?

 

[BritCard]

Who do people like ar Running Back? I've watched a bunch of the "top" prospects and they don't do anything for me.

The guy I like the most, certainly the one I like watching the most, is Clemson's Will Shipley.

Weren’t you the offseason Wilson king of pressures guy?

My top 3 picks right now based on our current position:

#7 - Dallas Turner (Edge)
#9 - Kalen King (CB)
#36 - Troy Franklin (WR)

You wouldn’t trade up for MH jr?

This team is desperate for a true #1, we got the ammunition to land a fitz reincarnate

currently in the "no" on that camp

No one is trading out of the MHJ slot, MTL.

Who are your top 3 choices based on our current position (7,9,36)?

 

[Krangodnzr]

Yep and Wilson got sacks to match his pressure stats. That is my point.

 

[TheCardFan]

I want to see King vs Ohio State and Kool-Aid vs LSU.

I wouldn't be upset if we went with Olu/Alt and Dallas.

I also like Newton (DT) and Nabers in round 1.

 

[Russ Smith]

THe one kid who will not be in this draft that I wish would be is Travis Hunter of Colorado.

It's crazy but he's a first round pick as both a CB and a WR.

He just flat knows how to get open at WR, and has good hands, he just doesn't play enough to put up great stats but 29 catches 2 TD's as a part time player is pretty good.

Defensively he's just such an incredible athlete, he probably gambles too much but his instincts are amazing. He gave up a TD yesterday against Stanford with perfect coverage the WR caught the ball behind Hunters head and pulled it in, amazing catch, but it takes stuff like that to do anything against him.

I hate to say it but he's the closest thing to Deion we've seen in awhile. He'd probably go top 5 this year and may go higher next year.

 

[DVontel]

I like Kalen King, but if we’re drafting him, we’re drafting him to be a slot, in which Kei’trel is probably better suited at anyway. That’ll be two 5’10(PSU has Kalen as 5’11, but we all know teams like to boost their own players’ frames) CBs.

If we go CB in the 1st(we shouldn’t), it’s either gotta be Kool-Aid or Nate Wiggins.

I’m not worrying about it until after the season, but if we don’t take at least one IDL with those picks I’ll wonder WTH we’re doing.

 

[Syracusecards]

No way. Philly’s airport is like from 1950s. It’s dark, dingy, feels dirty. Like if there was an airport designed by clinically depressed people. And Miami’s is always under construction. Which makes it a maze that takes 30 minutes to get anywhere without any shops or food for miles. Those airports suck.

Yup. Philly is like a bus depot that was shut down 50 years ago but somehow functions as an airport.

if the team isnt in MHJ range --

i am fully good with two front 7 defensive players -- Newton and one of the edge guys

The Cards problem is there really only one top 15 DT. Might only be one first round DT. We miss that one and we may not take one until round 3.

This DT class is decent but it's not top heavy. Lots of 2nd and 3rd round guys. Not much in the way of proven pass rush.

yep, and as of today its Newton

he is an undersized disruptor/penetrator in the interior --

currently the Cards ask their IDLs to take on blocks and two gap

There are some guys I like in the mid rounds who I think have upside. I like Stackhouse, Orhorhoro, Corleone etc but there's no Jalen Carter in this class.
