Big Blue Huddle

Drew Lock could be the starter opening kick. And it isn't a "lock" when DJ will be ready..but there is much to sort out. How good is Lock in Daboll's offense, when Jones can perform, does the OL finally become functional? All subplots ahead of us.

Let's get to the vet OTAs and perhaps we'll know more.

Jolly;

Georgia even used Bowers on jet sweeps. He's a super hybrid player. Just everything you want and more from the position. But I'd take #1 wr still.

Be interesting to see if JJ gets weighed. I doubt he will do so.

Better than taking JJ, a good, not great talent. Its a huge need. And much better than trading up for JJ.

The Draftniks are saying "oh next year..it's a down year for qbs". We don't know that. Players emerge all the time (i.e. Daniels). Build up the roster with great players first like Odunze. It's far better to have a good qb on a great roster than even a great qb on a bad one. Anyone remember Tarkenton, Hall of Famer with the Giants? One winning season out of five.

If they pick JJ at 6, I can accept that. If he's gone, take your pick at WR.

When dad talks, I hear Lonzo Ball's dad.

That's what I hear too. Haven't sensed his kid is a problem. For Prime to make that "insistence" doesn't help at all.

What's next? Build my kid a dome!?

So..Shedont pick me if its frosty? Shedeurly you jest. They have warmers on the sidelines..longjohns..etc.

Not a good look.

Tough loss. Good player on a Pokes team that suffered without him on D. Wonder what the Ranch thinks? 

Pratt would be my choice from the standpoint of consistency. I assume they eschew taking a qb early in that case. But he looked very pedestrian in Senior Bowl workouts.

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 16, 2024, 10:16:45 AMDon't underrate Stinnie. Take a look at the games played, and the sacks, hits and hurries. I see him competing for a starting role at LG. Evan Neal better be on his game because Guard doesn't look to be in his future after this week's moves. Those positions have been nicely upgraded.

As long as nobody retires, goes IR or has a mental breakdown. I think I covered every surprise of the past. Hopefully nobody is placed in the witness protection program, gets abducted by aliens or takes a trip to Russia.

Yes. Nyet to vacationing in Russia (or training like Rocky IV did). Witness protection? Got very little of from Neal so far. Abducted by aliens? Do these lineman live near the border?

 

Quote from: uconnjack8 on March 15, 2024, 03:48:08 PMJust a guess, but I think they are aiming to move ahead of the Giants.

Or a trade down. Yipes.

Yup. Don't think rhe Giants are a match for a trade up. But...?? It's fun to dream..    

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on March 15, 2024, 03:19:30 PMTheir 11th, 23rd, 2024 2nd round, 5th round and 2025 1st round. For that we give them #6

What? Is that the comp? Huh.

I thought Justin Fields was a fit. Pickett? Ugh

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 15, 2024, 12:18:20 PMThe Giants are at 6.  That's a big advantage, teams trading down only need to drop to 6 rather than all the way to 11.

But Mighty,

Harbaugh wants players, not one guy. It's a better value to add their deal. I assume they'll get #23 too
