I guess you told him! Personally, I'm too upset about Harry not getting to stand on the balcony in uniform to think much about the draft.

You m'fers need to chill out. We got Wylie in the off-season. Can still pick up players in the later rounds and there will likely be a second round of free agency after the draft.

At the end if the day, this team's strength is the defense. And I don't mind adding playmakers to our secondary.

You can add talent to the online, but better play calling, commitment to the run, and hopefully improved Howell will help.

I like Ruh’s take. Plus let’s be honest about where we are. We’re still a team mired in mediocrity, just beginning to see a crack of light in the dark gloom of the Snyder administration. Legacy men RR and MM are clinging to jobs they are destined soon to lose, and they don’t have the ownership direction or inherent vision and skill to get this team on solid playoff footing. What they did bring was a certain professionalism and integrity that held things together through the Haskins debacle and the Snyder clown show. And that’s not nothing. I think Josh Harris will inherit a roster that a new GM and HC will find intriguing — some solid parts and lots of headroom.

A lot is going to happen in the next 3 months, and if worst case we crap out on OL and SH in 2023, well, the 24 draft could be the true start of the next Skins era.

We definitely need an OT that could eventually become a starter.

Eagles get a Corner projected to go in first couple rounds by almost everyone in the fourth. And he is basically surrounded by his college team. We are not competing with then for years. Lol.

Eagles are simply head and shoulders above our front office. Have to give Roseman a lot of credit. He is one of the best if not the best GM in the league.

One thing about those guys is they are always drafting or bringing in pass rushers. It's like a stable for them. They understand that in the league today you must be able to pressure the QB. He has built an outstanding team.

If you are playing a young QB and your line was pretty bad last year, I think you need to do everything you can to shore up your 0-line. Idk much about Torrence other then he was projected as a pretty good guard and a road grader. I guess that they had the guy from Illinois rated higher.

But Ron seems to be obsessed w/ getting guys that can play multiple positions. Nothing wrong w/ that but what about just getting the best player that plays one position?

We'll see, can't judge a draft now obviously, but so far some of these picks are at best head scratchers. I just don't understand drafting a corner who is 165 pounds in the first round. That is just crazy that someone that skinny can play in the SEC. Wondering why they had him rated over Porter.

The O-line was not great last year, and they have added three O-linemen so far...all potential starters.

I can't believe they are ignoring the O-line...

"Starter" is a very broad term. While Wylie is an improvement, Gates is not much if any upgrade and Stromburg will likely spend this year as a backup.

Ron keeps referring to Kansas City as a model. In 2021 they recognised the weakness of the O line and then spent a 1st , a 2nd and a later picks on quality starters as well as giving out a top of the market contract to Joe Thuney at guard. This year they gave a high end contract
to a FA left tackle. All because they recognised that even having Patrick Mahomes, without an OL they wont win anything. What Ron and Martin are doing is at best applying band aids . But that is just my opinion.

Guys I'm on vacation in FL been inebriated for 3 days now lol, who did we draft in the 2nd round? Last night is a blurrrrr lol

[punch it in]

Braeden Daniels would take the edge off if he is there. Speed and agility. Fastest 40 time fir an olineman. Seems like a guy EB would really like.

He could probably start over Norwell.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Whoever it is at 118, it's going to be a disappointment I'm sure.

There it is. Speedy fast LG. Great pick.
