    I think Beck has other things on his mind. 8 interceptions the last 3 weeks but that Cavinder girl shows up to his game with unbuttoned jeans, I'd be distracted too

    Also, Beck would be dumb to declare for the draft. With this NIL stuff he can make millions in college anyway. Stay at Georgia, make millions, play for a national championship again and have his fill of college girls

    Or... he could take a paycut and get his head bashed in playing for Cleveland or something

    Kye Robichaux from Boston College is a fucking load of a runningback. Never goes down at first contact. And breaks at least one tackle every time he touches the ball.

    Not very explosive through the hole but I think he’s a good RB2 at the minimum in the NFL.

    Jalen Milroe is the world’s most impossible prospect to project to the pro’s. Struggles to make medium range throws inside and outside the numbers if they’re not rhythm throws. Does virtually EVERYTHNG else good including unreal playmaking ability.

    Reminds me a lot of Jalen Hurts coming out. Very polarizing. I think he can be a really dynamic pro in the big leagues if he doesn’t fall into an offense where they try to make him Peyton Manning.

    Love Jaxson Dart as a prospect.

    This is a draft where it would be worth trading back. You have to assume Sheduer and Cam Ward aren't coming here. We have SO many holes and I don't think we will compete in FA, just need to build and build these next two years.

    Prospects I love:
    1. Jaxson Dart (don't expect him to be Tom Brady)...more so see him to a Bo Nix how is playing. Of course, this pick would be there in a trade down situation. Also, I like Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers. I don't think we need to panic if we don't get Ward/Sanders. These 3 should be highly considered in round 1, with potential trade back, and to sit for on full year. Not every QB HAS to go top 5. They won't be perfect prospects but you learn to surround them with weapons and a good system.
    2. Tetairoa McMillan
    3. Elite LB, big run stuffer. Jalon Walker. Need to watch film on him.


    Things to not do
    1. Draft a DE, we have Jermaine Johnson coming back. Get a depth piece later but that's 3 first round picks on DL (Quinne, JJ, Mcdonald). Have to look elsewhere, espescially for end.
    2. OL, I do think we are set. A lot of first round picks there (AVT, OLU) and Tippman 2nd, we need to let it ride with them. Simpson has been great at LG too. Just don't think OL is the issue.

    I like Dart too and I think the Nix comparison is a good one. He can run and throw on the run and should probably be available in the 3rd.

    I still think Shedeur is going to be a top flight NFL quarterback though. I don’t see any real hit weaknesses other than having a flashy Instagram with money lol.

    Difficult to find a comparison for McMillan since there aren’t a lot of big guys that move like him. My gut says Mike Evans, but so many of those big guys just aren’t quick enough for the pro’s and they end up like Matt Jones or Michael Floyd.

    Really good tightend class at the top end and not a great receiver class by any stretch. This might be a really good year to target any of the three below in the second round.

    TE Tyler Warren - good pedigree from a long lineage of good tightends at Penn State. He’s the truest dual threat tightend because he blocks well in-line and can catch the ball all over the field.

    TE Harold Fannin Jr. - more of a Kyle Pitts type that might be split out more often than not but he’s having a monster season at Bowling Green and can definitely separate down the field. Pretty good keeper too.

    TE Colston Loveland - has the frame to get a bit bigger and block in-line as well as Warren. Hasn’t produced a ton due to his QB situation. Really good player at Michigan though with lots of playing experience.

    I don’t know what I don’t know but he appears to be way down draft boards for whatever reason but I really like Jason Taylor’s kid Mason Taylor at LSU. Not a lot of special physical gifts but he’s big, catches everything that’s thrown his way and has the frame and bulk to be a good blocker.

    I’m liking Dart the more I watch him. He seems to understand how to layer the ball over a linebacker/before the safety and same thing with cover 2 corners. Good touch on the ball.

    Also like that he can run but doesn’t look to do so. Underrated athlete at the position.

    Tyler Warren confuses the hell out of me. He's so productive but he looks like the slowest guy on the field sometimes. It's like they're throwing passes to Robocop.

    You’re not wrong but I felt that about Gronk his entire career. Warren does use his body pretty well and he’s a big aggressive goober fuck.

    Cam Skattebo from Arizona State is the closest thing I can remember to Marshawn Lynch. Can’t see him having a long career but good god does that white boy run hard.

    And just like that did Jaxson Dart look bad this week. Also, thought I would like Jalen Millroe's game a bit more but he is hit or miss.

    I think it goes to show how hard QB is. If we draft these guys, we shoudl not overpay (hence Millroe top 10) AND, we should let them sit/build an offense around them. Think of Russell Wilson in Seattle.

    If there is one QB I am eager to see it's Kyle McCord vs Miami. He has a great year and arm. Not mobile, and looked bad vs Pitt, but he can flat out throw it and seems like this year and exit from OSU elevated his level of play and matured.

    It’s a bad year at the top for skill position players but I think there are a couple guys down the draft board that might be this years Amon-Ra St. Brown.

    Ricky White, WR, UNLV - he’s caught a ton of balls in his career and is a serious deep threat with speed down the field. A bit light and will need to get stronger to catch contested balls. Good character kid that also plays special teams and has blocked three punts in his career despite being a star receiver.

    Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State - another tall, fast kid that’s played a lot of football and caught a lot of balls. He’s even lighter than White which is a concern but he’s very good down the field.

    Theo Wease Jr. , WR, Missouri - he’s been overshadowed by Luther Burden his whole career but he’s a good player that probably would show out in a more explosive offense.

    I like the other two kids at Colorado too, Jimmy Horn and Will Sheppard. Hard to project them to the league IMO because both have played a lot of ball without being stars.

    Ricky White is legit. Round 4 would be ideal if he lasts.

    Love Ricky White I could see him be a 3-4th round sleeper. Reminds me of Stephon Diggs on the field

    I’ve warmed up to doing this a lot more. He seems like a culture changing player and a true game wrecker that can control the LOS by himself. I still prefer going OT in a great tackle draft but he impressed me a lot against OSU.
