  1. JuJu isn't going to last that long till we pick I believe but if he does, I am with you.
  2. One more week mod. Let it pass.
  3. Why am I liking this pick without knowing much about him?
  4. Thank you! Will he be able to set the edge as well? And I'm assuming he has the traits of a 3 down linebacker for us.
  5. Did some quick research on Bowser and I love it! Seems like a 3 down linebacker to me! He can rush the passer or cover. I am just not sure about whether he can set the edge in run stopping support yet. But he is a great coverage linebacker that can even play next to CJ if necessary and if Correa can develop some pass rushing ability.
  6. Don't know much about this Bowser. Can somebody that has watched his tape educate those of us unfamiliar with him?
  7. I got an alert on my phone just now folks! And while I don't know too much about him I think I like it!
  8. Ok since I am only watching the draft here, can someone please tell me who's our pick?
  9. Jeff Zrebiec just stay quet please... I know you're a 'happening now' kinda guy but spare us this one time.
  10. If Ju Ju is available he's the pick I assure you. They'll go pass rush and OL in the 3rd
  11. I simply can't watch the draft anymore. It's just so stressful waiting our turn seeing all the players we covet go to the other teams and Ozzie patient as ever awaiting his turn at the altar! Come on man let's get busy!
  12. Lamp falling to us in the 2nd would kind of nullify the empty feeling I have about the first. Inexplicable why I feel that way, but just do.
  13. I just want one of these players avaialble for us to select at 47. Forest Lamp, Cam Anderson, Tim Williams, Zack Cunningham, Tyus Bowser, Carl Lawson, Zay Jones, Smtih Schuster or Curtis Smith. And I know one of them will surely be available when we pick, but yet we'll pass on all of them for another reach pick.
  14. With the way our draft began it doesn't matter who's there. We'll pick some obscure guy who's supposedly highest on only our board but nobody else. Tonight is going to tell us if there are just too many heads in our draft room and no cohesion or purpose or strategy. We just can't continue to draft special team contributors in the draft. Sure we'll be a great special teams unit but with both our offense and defense stinking up the joint.
  15. Just to join the ranks of idiots on this short lived board, I like Robinson better as well. And I hated our #16 pick even after contemplation and listening to all the post draft rationale about why he was a good pick.
  16. This was a screw up in the first round. Make no mistake about it. All the post draft bluster is just that. The front office better make up for this today as they have 3 solid picks. If they mess this one up, they're are going to help get Harbs fired mid-season.
  17. All together they make one full and serviceable TE that plays an entire year!
  18. God help Marlon if indeed he is assigned to those players.
  19. This is the least excited war room I've seen for a first round pick. Does anybody else concur or am I seeing things?
  20. I can't see us beating either the Bengals or the Steelers. With Garret and Peppers on the Browns defense, I don't see Flacco beating the Browns either. We are in for a very long season this year and if it does it doesn't bode well for John Harbaugh.
  21. It sure wasn't a sexy pick but neither was it a sound one. The sound pick would've been OJ Howard assuming Foster and Allen were undraftable for other reasons.
  22. I don't think any amount of post draft rationale is going to make the 'pit in the stomach' feeling go away. Especailly not with Howard, Foster, Allen and even a Dalvin Cook, Charles Harris on the board. Heck even Cam Robinson would've been more palatable. First they've loaded up on the secondary and more importantly Marlon's tape watched by tons of pundits didn't make him a #16 pick. At best he was a player ranked in the mid 20s. So, why did we have to reach when we had bonafide consensus top 5-10 players on the board? That is the issue that gnawed at me all night. I've been a huge front office supporter but this pick stumped me in a negative way! To top it off, Harbs had to bring up how good he was a special teams player so he could immediately contribute on special teams and could be eased into the starting role! No man a team with as many needs as we have doesn't need a dang special teams ace in the first round. Select one after the 5th round and please stay away from the draft room.
  23. Very meh in my opinion. Especially considering who was on the board at the time. How do you pass on Allen and Howard?
  24. Very good point. Luckily we have a stacked front seven also. So nothing will change for Marlon!
  25. What an anti climactic end to what began as a highly anticipated affair for me!
