At this point in Hoyer's career, the clipboard is getting heavy!

A couple things...

Prior to enrolling at Stanford, McKee spent two years in Brazil on a Latter Day Saints mission.

he looks like one of the better pure passers in the country. He has round-one-level arm strength and talent. McKee can drive passes into tight windows with optimal velocity. Far hash throws are not difficult for McKee to complete. He is improving on throwing the back shoulder fades to bigger receivers on the perimeter. Due to the amount of play-action and RPO run, McKee has good ball-handling skills. He sells the handoff well to manipulate second-level defenders to free space and hit routes behind them.

I'm seeing the same thing. Paris going higher than Skoronkski now. Ski right around #13.

I'd be extatic with either. But we still have the combine and FA to upset the proverbial cart.

I;d beextatic with Paris. Not so much with Skoronski. There is more risk with Skoronski.
He might be the best OT in the draft? but I would not risk #14 on him.

Note: for those of you who love him, I am quite aware!

Click, click, click.

They got me. Didn't see it the first time.

No one's serious until after the SB anyway. Just hoping that they get 1 out of 7 close.

This is part of the reason I don't like discussing mock drafts. The other is BB doesn't conform to anything predictable, so why bother.
I much prefer just talking players and the term that used to be thrown around a lot, everyone's "binky player" or even a binky per round.

Not likely. Has anyone ever predicted what BB will do?

Mehh I lie the mocks any of us that do them are really only stating what our wish list is.

That's my point. Why use a mock as a pretext for the discussion we really want?

Looks like 3 comp picks

Patriots projected to get a massive haul in 2023 compensatory picks

Patriots projected to get a nice return in compensatory picks for the 2023 NFL draft.

All the more reason IMO to address the O Line in the offseason via free agency, move down secure more picks, but draft skill players and position of need defense. IMO CB S then LB

Hard to believe but we agree on at least one thing. Fix the Oline as best they can in FA.

But, I'm using #14 in this draft unless some offers something crazy. Too much talent #20 and above. OT, TE, CB and safety. I'll take anyone.

Lots of really good WR in this draft select one later don't reach.

Package some of those 11 picks and move up in the middle rounds if your guy is there. Or trade for future picks.

I really think if they fix that Oline in FA, OB coming in, the O will do fine. He knows Mac and Stevenson.

Mehh we can agree from time to time. It's only when you are wrong that we disagree.

We have the cap space to address the tackles positions in FA and interior offensive line in draft. Because of the depth at WR and CB and being in rebuild mode I like moving down we can still build and add depth to next years draft. I feel we are more than one year away.

Moving down is a decision that can't be made until we see how the chips fall......

Oh, and 11 picks screams moving up!

Yes Sir, A lot depends on how FA goes.
