He looks like he is in his late 30's, and the stache could give The Nuge a run for his money

I cant get over how much this guy looks like the German sergeant in the first Indiana Jones movie who gets skilled by the airplane propeller

Gap, how old is your avatar pic?

rwalling! been a while! welcome back sir!

another way to look at this, Joisey, is that they are due (very overdue) for a win here :-) albeit I like Volsen a LOT

Are any of the UDCFAs a TE?

I really like what I am reading about this UDCFA https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jaxson-Kirkland-OL-Washington especially: 'One of best pass blockers in college football - a technician who gives up very few sacks' I will be rooting hard for this guy. We need pass blockers bigtime and yeah, I know he is about 2 years older than the average rookie

ah, we do sorta kinda see eye to eye on occasion While fully realizing that the occasional late round pick becomes a superstar (yes, Mr Brady, I am talking about you) I look at late rounders for the most part as players you hope can develop into starters 2-3 years down the line when your current starters depart or decline, and in the meantime can play special teams and give you occasional snaps when injuries happen We'll need a new IOL or two in the coming years, so why not develop those guys now that sort of thing

I give the overall draft a solid B. There were picks I loved and picks I hated One corner and one WR was enough, tho......they needed to spread the wealth around better, imo I think they could have done a lot better in the later rounds, though taking the Punter was excellent If the Bama safety turns out to be a contributor, this draft looks a LOT better Overall, I hated this draft a lot less than the ones in the last 4-5 years I am praying we pick up at least one good UDCFA ORT and TE

its unacceptable to have two Corners both named DJ ok, no, that was a joke. Put the baseball bat away, Mem :-) No objection to the guy, just would have preferred a TE or ORT here, same as two picks back.

Another pick I noted as a necessary one, and I am hearing he is a hang time and directional punt guy. Sounds like a certain local product who was our Punter for many years :-) Like like like this pick Is this the extra pick we picked up from KC, where I said I hope they use the extra pick on the new Punter we need?

again, please keep in mind that this is all me wanting New Guy protected You were the first here to really fall hard for New Guy, so you should understand this

just my honest impression as I said, I like this pick. Please take note of that.

This is a pick that I hate not because I dislike the guy - he's an athletic freak with tons of untapped potential - but they already dipped into WR once and there were (and still are) other more pressing needs to fill so the guy per se is fine......especially as late as this pick is.....

at this point, I agree that it seems nearly certain they'll bring Wilcox in and retry with TE next year

wasnt the impression I was left with, but ok in any case, my reaction to this pick is positive, so calm yourself a bit :-)

and yet there are some that pass block this guy apparently wasnt one of them You do understand, given your long-expressed love with New Guy, that I just want him protected, right? I think he'll work on it. thats all I can ask. He had 25 reps on the bench so he has the muscle part good to go

So we knew we needed a RB, and I am glad they waited til late I love the speed I see in the film provided earlier in this thread. 4.43 in a 210 lb back is outstanding He seems in the film to make very good use of blocking ahead of him The fact that he is a plus receiver is huge what I didnt see and really want is the pass protection. everyone said all the right things like he's willing and will work at it and etc.....but bottom line this is a weakness, along with ball security Good value for round 5 but he really really really needs to work on those 2 weak areas C plus-ish pick. Maybe a B minus Oh, also.....on the RAS score, which is quite good.......I've seen several of these now where the agility data isnt listed, and thats the case with this one as well. I dont know any reason why this guy wouldnt have done agility drills. Puzzling.

this is my concern as well

bit of a bowling ball type. I mean that in a good way

well, one of the things I said we could really use immediately - 2023 - is a talented KR/PR I feel like we've been using average guys who could do it but that was about it for years Good pick, even though it isnt a ORT or TE. If he proves to be a plus KR/PR, he is a roster lock I'll be watching this guy closely He looks kinda sad in that reaction to being drafted by us tho Also, noted that the QB we were targeting was taken by the Browns a few picks later....guess we'll have to re-sign Allen after all also noted - the Rapistbergers are really pushing the reset button on their DLine, arent they?

sorry guys. I hate the pick itself A N D the fact that the tradedown cost us a potential starter at ORT or TE, which are positions of much greater need than S I wish I could get behind this pick but given the double whammy here its not going to happen unless he pulls a Volsen (I detested the Volsen pick last year. DETESTED. I was wrong, and I ate heaping platters of crow later) and shows me the error of my ways I hope he does just that, but I suspect Dax and Scott (and maybe Anderson too, we know next to nothing about him) will keep him mostly bench-bound for defensive snaps as for Lou - if I was a offensive side coach on this team right now, Anarumo would be a curse word right now

Gimme OT Jaelyn Duncan or TE Will Mallory or TE Noah Whyle in r4 Since they dont seem to be bringing Allen in, they'll need another QB at some point Need to get a punter to replace Chrisman A backup center to replace No-Knees Hill would be good we could most definitely use someone with top notch PR/KR skills. I think this would be the best spot to make an immediate impact on 2023 and of course a RB who can passblock and chip/receive

this guy isnt gonna start except due to injuries to others his best case scenario is s3 behind Dax and Scott
