Still think Darnold is tremendous. That being said he should go back to school. He’s got to learn not to fumble. I think the a lot of the problems this year were due to what was around him(obviously the fumbles are on him, I mean other things

He goes back and gets exposed more he will be another Barkley. He should leave USC. It's clear that USC can't compete with the alabamas or Ohio States of the world. I think his receiver Burnett likely will enter the draft.

Every time I look at him I stare at his hands. They look small.

Bad coaching, Seems like they are always unprepared, Burnett killed them early in the game, Had USC scored a TD on that opening drive, It changes the entire game

Never noticed his hands. They said the same thing about jimmy though

And thanks, I love that photo. beer and liquor and I was not getting sicker

Saquon Barkley is just unreal. Wish we could get him. Thats the type of guy at RB thats worth a top 5 pick

If I'm SF priority #1 is OL/D.

I build a monster defense which I believe their on the verge of real soon. CB/RUSH/DL

If I'm going offense I might go Nelson. Always thought he was worth a top 5-10 but I've really come around to taking a G that high to protect Jimmy for 10 ten years.

Barkley in the Freemen role is scary though. He's 100% perfect for that scheme.

My thing is can he be that short yardage, 4th qr RB?

If I'm drafting a RB that high he must close out a close game in the 4th.

Just some thoughts.

SQB is unreal and a fantastic prospect.

Hornibrook is having a solid game. He's one to watch next year, if he can cut down on the turnovers and tighten up his fundamentals.

I agree, they are on the verge of that. Im not sure how you felt about the lynch hiring, but I actually believed in him and so far hes done a fantastic job. Buckner and foster could be what Brooks and Sapp were for tampa. (different types of players obviously)

If you take a guard that high he better be end up an All Pro. He can for sure

Barkeley can close out a game. No doubt

I love Buckner. Having a really nice year. He's a wild man. Once Thomas figures it out those two will be scary.

I think Foster a top tier already

Witherspoon is coming along nicely and just had another pick.

I loved the Lynch hiring. He's been gold

I havent been able to watch much of SF this year but ive been keeping up with Solomon thomas, foster, and buckner. I think they have the pieces to build a D that can be tops in the league. But I really would think it would be to too hard to pass on barkley. The guy can do it all and is a mismatch for any defense. He can run as good as Elliott, fournette, and gurley. His receiving skills are better than all three. He is also no slouch in the blocking game. I think if you give JG that type of player SF is putting him in the best position to succeed and lead that team to where they want to be.

Don't watch a replay of the Wisky/OSU B1G Championship Game. Horrific,
would be kind.

I disagree, I think he has no future

Browns are going to get their QB at 1, but what do they do with 4?

Its got to be Oline or defense

I am sure rosen doesn't want any part of that nor darnold but who knows. I bet they fall in love with josh Allen.

I’m the type of guy where if I was in that position, I would want to be the savior!

That being said, I totally buy into the fact that an organization can ruin a players career. They seem to be good at that

With 3 first round picks on the d line, I think San Fran is building correctly. And foster was a great pick.

But if they got Barkley, that offense would be really tough next year!

Patriots should take Carter if he’s there when we’re drafting. I would of said take him with the Jimmy G pick, but that isn’t going to happen he will be gone before the 42nd Pick.

BaconGrundleCandy said:

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Pissed hes getting his pub but I expected it.

Only 20 & known for doing community work & late night snacks.

Davenport, by anyone's measure is 6'5+/240+ & maybe bigger. He's still gunna fill out. Wants to play at 265-270. Basketball, Track background.

In terms of production he barley played as a Freshman and went through a huge body makeover. But in total, 43 games

Solo Assist ToT TFL SCKS PD
95 90 185 37.5 21.5 8

FR TD FF
2 1 6

Marcus's #'s improved each year in 4 with basically a rs frs, where Floyd stayed more or less the same.

What are your thoughts on LB vander esch from boise state? Some drafts have mocked him at 43 for the pats.

Already thought of it. I would imagine Bill would kick those tires in T.C. Possible Red Zone threat. Might have those soft hands?

He just really broke out this year after dealing with injuries early on. Might be a 4 down player. Smart, versatile but very tough to block and made plays everywhere this year.

Trying to find his age.

His name will come up more, eso after the combine. He's 6'3, maybe some change & 240. Might run sub 4.7 & vert jump 36+
