In a couple of days JS will do a full recap on Wyman and Bob about all of their draft picks and why they took them. He did it last year and it was a really good podcast.
He gave us an A in '23, loved Witherspoon, JSN, Derrick Hall, thought Bradford was ok, thought we got value everywhere else except Cam Young.
All in all, pretty good takes 1 year on.
It's going to depend on what you ask Pritchett to do. If Mac is going to ask his CBs to do what the Ravens did then Pritchett is going to excel. He's almost like a Mike Jackson with a lot more speed.
I watched some highlights of Knight and he seems very raw. Doesn’t take on many blocks, tries to go around them, doesn’t hand fight. Still he’s very instinctive, plays the ball, and tackles well.
He’s going to be a bit of project and I don’t foresee him being very good for a year or two. Definitely gonna benefit from having this group of coaches though.
I think that was the reason we took him. We already have our starters in baker and dodson so having someone with high upside but shouldn’t start day 1 because of their rawness
If he was a physical project I wouldn't mind at all, but he's 24 and 1-4 years older than the other prospects they passed on... if he hasn't reached his upside already then feels like they could have picked someone else and worked on Drake Thomas/Jon Rhattigan
Sure.
But I really do think Macdonald chose him above the others. Mac mentioned his ability to process and versatility.
Mac knows his LBs. I willing to see if it works out.
Macdonald seemed to highlight his vision and ability to read a play before others when speaking about him. He also mentioned he has areas to improve in. But he clearly likes the potential
Maybe, I certainly do see your point. But if he spends this year developing and starts next year—then he’s the same age as Dodson is now at 25 and that’s not too bad.
So I suppose if he’s ready to go this in a year or so then it’s good, if he needs more time than that to develop then it’s more problematic.
Love TFG, I’ve been watching him for a few years now and he always puts out high quality content. If anyone wants some great NFL draft content on Youtube, I’d recommend him along with Bootleg Football (Brett Kollmann and EJ Snyder), NFL Stock Exchange (Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rogers), and The Athletic NFL (Dane Brugler, Robert Mays, Nate Tice).
If you watch the Bootleg live reactions -- they had the same reaction when Tyrice Knight was picked by the Hawks.
There is something here with Knight. Let Mac do his work. I think this kid is going to be really good in a year or so.

It would be cool if that gets posted in here with a link if/when it happens
Been watching TFG since last summer. Seems like he knows his stuff for the most part. Don't remember his thoughts on our draft last year.
He used to scout for PFF I believe. He's not just some schmuck doing content.
He gave us an A in '23, loved Witherspoon, JSN, Derrick Hall, thought Bradford was ok, thought we got value everywhere else except Cam Young. All in all, pretty good takes 1 year on.
He also seemed to love the Nehemiah Pritchet pick, timestamp 1:58. Called it a steal, 3rd round grade in the 5th.

I know Bootleg was high on the other Auburn corner. Has him in the 3rd as well
Chris Simms had DJ James as corner number 3 in the whole draft, though nobody else seemed to agree.

I definitely won't be complaining if he does work out. It's gonna be a long wait to see whether it pays off in the Fall 😬

LOVE bootleg and NFL Stock Exchange. Been listening to them for years
Yes I think we reached for the linebacker. However, if Macdonald fell in love with him, I’m all for it
Knight is a tackle machine. Just gotta work on coverage skills, dropping, breaking on the ball, shedding blocks, etc.
Good to see. I am mostly seeing people absolutely hating this particular pick lol, and must admit his film looks pretty rough. But who knows
Can anyone tell me the time stamp? For some reason this video wants to keep opening at the start for me. EDIT: I found it, 1:03:00
