A&M RB Devon Achane declares for the draft. Small guy, but pretty productive, especially behind a terrible line this year. Wonder how his size/speed translates to the NFL
I don't understand why McShay would say that. If it's true, no one gains anything from him saying it. And if it's not, it's fucked up that he'd say it. And no one is going to know if it's true or not, and the Day/JSN defense is probably coming shortly to make him look bad either way.
this isn't true though, at least in my view if you assume it's an agenda-driven leak rather than mcshay just reporting the news, then it seems obvious to me that the scouts/league don't like it when prospects sit out a normal season and it's a leak to discourage that. brugler has said that some scouts have JSN as a third rounder and others have said he's a potential day 2 pick -- a big departure from the top 15 pick he was considered last spring. based on all of that, it would seem like scouts had some questions about him (can he play outside? how does he look without wilson and olave? etc) and they didn't get a chance to get answers this year. JSN has just one year of productivity; i could understand scouts wanting to see him more.
I think I speak for everybody when I say Caleb Williams should ignore McShay's jibberish. Why risk further injury like the PAC12CG? He should clearly avoid injury in 2023 to protect his draft status.
Looking forward to spending countless hours on the top DTs and DEs only for Howie to trade back with the Saints pick for somebody else's future 1s and 2s that he will also trade
I've never been more willing to die on a hill than this... Michael Mayer is going to suck ass in the NFL and anyone listing him as a first rounder in their mocks is a moron
They should go DL with the top 5 pick and either CB or JSN with the mid first if he’s there. Don’t take a QB in R1 for the love of god
Kupp is also schemed open a majority of the time and not some super athlete/skilled player. The comp is stupid. He’s Jarvis Landry more than Kupp
Kupp isn't skilled? Crazy if true He's pretty damn strong for a WR too, probably his most unique physical trait
My man… this is the correct take on this guy. People having him as a top 10 overall talent in this draft are lunatics.
I personally would avoid a QB if it’s not Stroud or Young. Next year will be a very strong QB class with Williams and Maye.
This is just stupid on Kupp. JSN is Amon-Ra St. Brown, with less power but probably a little more wiggle. And that seems like it would be a very good result for JSN and the team that drafts him.
I don’t think he’s naturally as gifted as some like Jefferson or Chase. That’s not to say he’s talentless. Just different levels. I don’t think Kupp is as successful in the NFL if his coach isn’t as great as the one coach he currently has. Reid is another coach who does a wonderful job scheming less talented players into highly productive players, especially at RB.
He has good hands. Catching is all I can say he does better than others. I don't know how you can watch him and think he's a day 1 or day 2 pick. Not fluid, slow, can't jump, stupid face, etc.
He's a slot WR, so what's the point of comparing him to Jefferson or Chase? They're completely different players playing different positions.
As a Falcons fan there is no reason to follow our draft yet here I am. For the 10th year and counting, we need an edge rusher or two.
