Really love to hear you answer the questions that touch on the theory in offensive/defensive formations and traits/characteristics for certain positions. i have watched football for 25+ years but just started to get more interested in that stuff the past few years.
In regards to the Combine Performance, let's remember that the NFL organization wants those metrics to be relevant! From a team perspective, there is some value being able to compare prospects against historic NFL players (going back to at least the 90s). Teams can only do that comparison with the metrics used for those historic prospects.
Man, I'm a colts fan and it's hard to take the Jags seriously as long as Balke is GM (and Kahn is the owner, probably). Shame for TLaw but I'll take it for now haha
as a niners fan i could not be more against a project behind purdy, this kid is legit, and as a niners fan I am exhausted by all the constant qb controversy, and i can only imagine the front office and shanahan and tired too, give purdy this season at least to just be the guy, even a 4th round pick at qb and they will be talking abaout him, just leave it be
Agreed on Moses - Good player, cheap, and adds flexibility with the 30th pick. There's no need to make a position that's already secured for 1 more year uncertain with no clear answer. I'm not sold on Faalele, but maybe they see something I don't. I think It's odd to create such a significant need at an important position for no reason, especially after losing two starters.
I think anyone saying Jacobs is slow hasn't watched him or just sees his build and makes an assumption. It like you said isn't elite speed. But he has break away from a would be tackler speed and if anything I'd say that his best year was had while he ran a lot of wide zone and counter as opposed to just shotgun dive whatever you wanna call it, gap even. In my opinion the best way to use him is to have athletic fast tackles who can help him because when he's past the LOS and past the tackles he's one of the deadliest backs in the open field and part of that is he has enough speed to make big runs. He sometimes doesn't but when he does IE Seahawks last year he does have long speed.
I know it's not a draft question, but more a hypothetical scenario. As Oliver Kline 52:57 stated that the QB market is gonna be expensive. Could you see the Cowboys letting Dak walk and him signing with Miami. Miami trades Tua to the Seahakws or Cowboys, and either a late round QB or veteran starts for Dallas in 2025?
I’ll throw in a non draft question. Why do good CB’s have such low trade value? Especially when it’s a premium position. Why are guys like Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, and L’Jarius Sneed going for mid round picks
This jags fan wont defend their drafting. They act like they're playing a video game and there aren't real life consequences to their actions. It makes the team fun and interesting sometimes but follows very little rational logic. They have no clue what they are doing. Theyre just collecting players they think are good without any strategy behind it.
40:45 The Jags are the living embodiment of the curse of mediocrity. Their entire team is in this state of "good enough we can't easily justify moving off of him, but not good enough to be a top 10 player at his position and elevate us to a true contender." Like Gabe Davis, Mitch Morse, Darnell Savage all have a "Good not Great" tag on them for a team that needs Great players to improve any further. Also, describing Baalke's strategy using the word "fascinating" as a quasi-derogatory is both very apt and very funny.
How would marv get past the cards unless a qb was taken. Which would mean the vikes would be trading up for qb 5 which I don't think they would. 1:04:05
I am worried about a Lions reach at 29 too. I can also see Holmes falling in love with a receiver like Legette or trading up for AD Mitchell. As long as it’s not another RB 😂
@@HenryJacobs-gj8vp he literally wont get targets tho. laporta amon ra and gibbs are all super high target guys then theres jamo brock wright d mont who will get some targets I just feel there's no reason for the lions to go wr early donovan peoples jones is fine as your 3rd wr
@@jhoe164 disagree. Gibbs is our only pass catcher with great rac ability. We already got a vertical threat in Jamo and possession guy in amonra. A great after catch receiver could really help maximize our least year with Ben johnson. Also dpj sucks
People think smaller=guard and bigger=tackle? Weird, ive always thought the exact opposite. Going up against stronger guys on the inside, need less agility (less space to cover), dont need to be quite as technical on the inside.
To the Sehawks fans that hate on the Barton idea, I just want you ask yourselves the last time you heard that teams like Dallas have had any needs on the interior post Zach Martin. Just one truly elite interior guy can make it so that you can get by at the other 2 spots if the tackles are alright. Not saying Barton is definitely that good, but thats the process behind that pick
32 round mock drafts. Count me in!!!
Can’t wait for your Desmond Rattler and Spencer Riddler evaluations 😎🙌😂

As a Seahawks fan, I'm with you on the Graham Barton pick Marcus!! I would like him in the first and a LB in the third
you’ve mentioned EDGE isn’t a need for LAC, but remember both Bosa and Mack are on their last years of their contracts.

If the Lions don't get a starting Corner out this draft your not wrong to comment about my lions sir
Is Kedon slovis a draftable qb for you?
Obviously I’m not TFG but I don’t think so. Not a top 300 guy for me
his fall off was insane. 2 years ago people were saying he was gonna be a top prospect and pick
He’s a priority udfa

Sorry not counter, I believe it was draw. One or the other.

Your Jake Ferguson is better than Luke Schoonmaker take in last years offseason was very good
Best football content on TH-cam boss hog
Mailbag 1 day before the draft? LFG
I'm trying to get more into football from an analyst perspective. What do you recommend I do to get started?
I’ll throw in a non draft question. Why do good CB’s have such low trade value? Especially when it’s a premium position. Why are guys like Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, and L’Jarius Sneed going for mid round picks
Age and contracts mostly. Plus any potential injury concerns. Not to necessarily to do directly with the position
Sneed has to be paid next year, and Ramsey and Gilmore are old and injury concerns

As a Steelers fan, Thank You for calling out the Steelers fans that are deadset on center and can’t comprehend value and BPA
Marcus, you totally left out the fact you had Jake Fromm (third) and Nate Stanley (fifth) over Herbert and Tua in the 2020 draft 😂😂😂😂
How would marv get past the cards unless a qb was taken. Which would mean the vikes would be trading up for qb 5 which I don't think they would. 1:04:05
I wouldn't say last year's Lions draft worked for them. They were in the worst division. Could have been much better
As a Steelers fan, i am proudly on the take a tackle or BPA train if there's a run. 🤞Mims falls
His jc latham take will be stuff for legends if he is right on him
Could the niners trade aiyuk, 31, and 94 to go get Marv at 5?
😧 cheating fr

Legette will be a monster for the lions if they get him.

Rookie passing yard over receiving by a large amount. 21:38

Need to be lower to the ground to get better leverage on the inside. Hence why some good DTs are 6'1 meatballs
Yes sir!

I was the guy that asked the question. Safe to say he has convinced me on Barton but I still would want Murphy if he falls to us.
