Probably go JTT. Is that the obvious pick? I mean he had 12.5 sacks this year for a big time program. You know they watched a lot of Ohio State tape. Shoot go JTT in 2nd and Jack Sawyer in 3rd
Iād love JTT, Femi or Swinson. Shoot, Iām still holding out hope that Scourton is a Lion at heart, despite the knocks on his play at A&M.
Iām also 100% convinced thereās somebody on their board that distracted them from celebrating the Williams pick. Either that or the footage they showed on TV of our war room was from minutes before our pick while other teams were on the clock. Assuming Jihaad was off our board, thereās someone theyāre very high on sitting there still.
Sanders is the best player on the board and itās not close. There will be documentaries made on him slipping in the draft after he lights the NFL on fire.
High football IQ, next level toughness, extremely accurate, hard worker, student of the game. This is not a Johnny Manziel situation. Shedeur is the real deal and will make teams pay in a big way.
The Lions wonāt take him. I would love the Lions to end up with Landon Jackson. I think heās going to be a real player in the league and is just scratching the surface.
Trey Lance is not a good comparison to Sanders.
Totally different QBās.
Plus Lance hadnāt played a lot of football.
He played one full season of D2 football.
He was drafted strictly on physical traits.
Sanders doesnāt have impressive physical traits.
He isnāt big, fast, or possess a big arm.
He is more Jarred Goff than Trey Lance.
I agree the best situation is not being asked to start right away (as it is for 99% of rookie QBās) and to get selected by a better team.
For pure pass rush gas ⦠thatās my guy. And he plays far more violent than his size would imply. Iād love him at 102. I was fine with him at 60 but the pro day gives me concerns about how his conversion to SAM stuff. But as a 20 snap per game flame thrower sign me up.
I noticed that as well.
There were no smiles, hugs, backslaps, whooping or hollering that we have become accustomed to from Brad on his picks.
It looked like āDamn, I guess we have to take Williamsā.
There are a lot of good Edges still remaining for tonight.
Even a WR could be selected.
But with all those 6 visits you got to think if Femi is on the board Brad takes him, if he doesnāt move up first.
I thought the same thing at firstā¦now they are spinning it like āoh we are so relieved our guy was there we thought we were going to lose him to ATLā
I canāt imagine we were holding out hope for Donovan Jackson after the OL went so early we knew he would be gone.
Canāt imagine we were holding out hope for James Pearce turd.
Nolan & Harmon were long gone.
Iām guessing we were PISSED about not getting that 1st rounder in 2026 from ATL that Rams got.
