Penix was speculatively linked to Atlanta for a hot minute maybe a month before the draft, but it was a quick take that people seem to have forgotten about, so I was less shocked when it happened. I don't hate it.
Cousins' guarantees really only impact the cap for two years. So there is some...
My rose colored classes homer outlook for the long term:
* Maye develops into something near his ceiling
* The team is right about Wallace, and he develops into a starting caliber OT
* Baker is coachable and realizes his athletic potential, and a starting trio of Baker/Polk/Douglas emerges as a...
He's still a long ways off. The only way he can surpass Brady, short of besting Brady's records, is to accomplish something extraordinary that Brady hasn't done.
If the Chiefs three-peat, I predict we start hearing some chatter from the major media players.
Bourne and Douglas are the starters until the one of kids steps up and beats them out for the job.
Off the two rookies, I see Polk stepping in and being an immediate contributor.
I think we'll see less of Baker in 2024, but the team hopes they can groom him to take over the X position come...
The problem is, fans expected our future QB, a #1 WR and a ready-to-play OT out of this draft.
The funny thing is, if the order of the picks went Maye, Baker, Polk, Wallace people would be celebrating.
". ..but his sack rate when pressured in 2023 was a horrendous 23.2%. That means when he was pressured in 2023, about 23 percent of the time he was getting sacked..."
That's a hot take!
Based on film I agree, he looks like the 3rd best QB on the board. He's a day 1 starter.
My concern (and this applies to both Daniels and Nix as well) is his age. A 24 year old should look like a man among boys in the college game, because he is. He had the unfair advantage of extreme physical...
One year of Ayiuk is worth more to the Niners than the 34th pick. They are a legit contender whose window is now, and unlike KC they don't have a QB who can overcome a significant talent loss.
Higgins is in a similar situation. Neither will be traded.
I'm okay with McCarthy at 3 because taking him there means we actually believe he's the best option. I become much less convinced if we trade down and still land him, because that means we may have taken a gamble and lost and are settling.
I think the real way to blow the draft is a trade out...
All three have the athletic talent to be great, and any of them could turn out to be head cases that flame out. Nobody has any idea..
The most important thing is that whoever we take isn't thrown into a bad situation. That means if we take Daniels, we need to commit to sitting him until we can...
Based on what I'm read, I'm convinced. I can't wait until we land Maye, Daniels, McCarthy, Harrison, Alt and then trade the pic to get another receiver and tackle, all of the third pick. Duck boats!
Seriously though, I think I would be most excited about Daniel's out of the three. He feels like...
So Mayo is open to a trade, unless Daniels slides, or unless he takes Maye, or unless he takes McCarthy.
Remember this time last year when Levis was going to go #2 overall? It's stupid season. Agents are hyping their clients and throwing shade at other players, teams are throwing off scents...
Another thoroughly ok move.
The 1 year deal is interesting. Either the team thinks it's taking a flyer on a likely jag, or the player is betting on himself to produce big on a crappy offense.
Either way, this will be a much less embarrassing 5 win team in 2024.
A trade down seems like a given at this point. I was thinking Nix would be the target, but you bring up an interesting point about setting the stage for a lefty QB.
Maybe the plan is Penix at 11, a WR at 23, and RT at 34.
Receiving back, runs a 4.39 40, played WR in college, good in blitz pickup. Great move. Not a game changer, but if the goal is to build a functional offense for a young QB to grow into, it helps.
