He's going top 10 I'm seeing. Tankathon has him currently at 6 going to philly.

QB class will push players down, even a shaky QB class. But yea, he is going to be there in the thick of things. I would even package up another day three pick or two to move up to grab him and I am not usually a trade up guy. His familiarity with Mendoza and that back shoulder move of his makes him perfect for us.

I like him too. But he's going very early and the team needs all its high picks. Maybe if we continue to suck we get close....

The big dt from Oregon will be there in the second round.

Bear Alexander, I mentioned him a page ago, low center of gravity and still has some room to add pounds

Weird question…was the line better last year?
I mean it was ass too,but he had a few nice games last year and saw the burst and trucking dudes.

Hit hit behind the line a lot…but line looks even worse this year.
And don’t tell me he doesn’t have burst..you don’t score a long tuddy in a wheel route if you don’t have burst.

I agree with you. I made an earlier post about my theories as to why that is. Carrol putting Thorton on one side and Tre Tucker on the other certainly helped.

Another reason is (and others will probably disagree) is JPJ.

When JPJ is playing to his potential, he is our best run-blocking lineman, and he also has the size to not get bullied. Go back and watch every game we've ever had rushing the ball well the last few years, JPJ is in the lineup. Sincere McCormick averaged around 5 YPC with JPJ at center. Jeanty was averaging 5+ against the Broncos before JPJ got hurt last year.

Also remember they called a 20+ yard run back that would have given Jeanty over 1000 yards. So, the narrative that Jeanty can't be that type of back is false.

Powers Johnson was a horrible run blocker
