COB

The transformation in this kid’s appearance is startling. He was their punter back in 2017, and the difference in appearance is noticeable.

Will they approach Mixon’s agent and ask to redo that deal? I think they should. Nothing Zac said when he supported Mixon as a part of the team makes me think they won’t ask him to redo that deal. May as well do it now, there is no chance they’re letting him play it out as is. He has two years left, two expensive years.

Good for them. 3 draft spots lower in the 90s and we get a good and experienced punter. I swear this guy punted for 6 years in college. Good strategic evaluation of the many possibilities in that pick at 92

Another very good draft. High character, team captains, proven productive football players. This formula works, hats off to Tobin and Zac. I grade it an A, and I defend that grade by pointing out we got 4 guys who will contribute significant snaps - Murphy, Turner, Battle, and Robbins. And we did that drafting from the 28 spot. Not an easy place to pick up 4 players. The other guys look like possible teams players and depth. And the way this league is, they could end up on the field as well.

You’re a rookie running back. Your new job, should you choose to accept it, stop nfl linebackers and safeties when they stunt or just blitz with numbers. They’re huge, probably geared up, and they have several steps of momentum. Drop anchor and take them on. It is a daunting task and not everyone is up to it. That’s why these coaches use the word “willing.” I hope this kid is just that special kind of person who likes contact.

Practice squad, try to develop him into a player. Maybe next year he’s on the roster as teams and depth.

He had a great senior bowl. Bring him in undrafted!

LB from Cincy?

So happy about this pick. Chrisman never got it going, just didn’t seem right all year.

Ok at worst we can deploy his elite explosiveness on special teams. At best he can work in as a regular back in a multi back platoon scheme.

Yep, Tyler Boyd can’t play forever. This makes a lot of sense.

Come on Bengals. Pick a magic offensive tackle that can magically start from the 4th round. Pick a witch doctor who can heal La’el Collins’ knee ligaments.

Zac’s tenure is revealing in regards to Marvin’s tenure. Marvin turned the team around, and I seem to recall pundits saying he did it by changing the culture. I guess he did change the culture. But the complete lack of discipline cost guys their careers (Odell Thurman), cost us a lot of wins, and ultimately, in a very tangible way, cost Marvin his white whale, that elusive playoff win. The culture Zac installed has exposed Marvin’s rep as a culture builder to be false.

Dude you’re a wet blanket. We lost Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell, we had to reload that defensive backfield. Awuzie tore his ACL and is coming off surgery. O-line was addressed in FA with Orlando Brown. Right tackle we have our failed left tackle. He’s a complete stiff, true, but he already knows the offense, knows the other players, and if he knows what’s good for him he’ll play this whole season with his balls hanging out. This is it for him, it’s an audition for a second deal so he better put it all out there.

Sorry to see Jessie Bates and Vonn Bell leave, this front office does not wait around. They act.

Lou has taken over our draft. Dude’s getting it all. We signed Nick Scott, drafted Turner and Battle.

Too long saluting that dead soldier, make them forfeit the pick.

I hope the chiefs don’t get their pick in on time.

Saw him play a lot in college, love this pick. He can play.

2 years in a row the Seahawks take a running back in the 2nd round.

I haven’t seen one negative thing about this pick. True I have limited social media, but a lot of stuff was posted in here, all positive. This kid’s a good player, has all the physical attributes, and is by all accounts a dedicated hard worker. WTF. What else do you want.

This dude lets us cycle quality in and out, down after down. At the worst, he makes our existing guys better by giving them breaks, at best he plays to his athletic potential and wreaks havoc. Very noticeable: once again this team picks a certain kind of guy. Football committed, not much ego, decent human being. That formula works.

“He also tested like an elite athlete during the pre-draft process, finishing in the 97th percentile among defensive ends since 1987 according to RAS.Football.”

We needed more pressure on qbs, hopefully he’ll come through. I’m also very glad we didn’t end up with Joey porter’s kid. Nothing against the kid, but it would have been a big ask for us to all forget all the cheap shit his dad pulled all those years on the Steelers.

18 sacks in 3 seasons.
