    Deal. I’ll take that 6.5 over but I’ll definitely be happy to lose.


    Kevin Durant and Deshaun Watson situations are totally different. Horrible comparison.

    Dream draft…this is taking in the fact that Caserio might want to packaging picks seeing that we have so many over the next couple of years along with cap space I believe…

    Anderson - first pick

    Young - trade up with Cleveland’s picks

    Darnell Washington - another trade up I don’t think he makes it to top of the 2nd

    Many people STILL do not understand the importance of the QB position. The QB position is the most valuable position on the field, because the QB touches the ball on every offense play and if you have a shot at a very good QB vs. a Great defender, you take the very good QB everytime.

    However, I still think if the Texans had Bryce Young with this same team, they will be in competition for the division race right now. The division is down and the Titans are not special, and also, the Texans have been in evrey game this yr... so think of the difference a QB can make.

    Many people do understand the importance of the QB position and that's why they dont want a QB drafted in this draft.

    2 things: First, even though the QB is the most important player on the team the majority of good teams surround good QBs with premium talent. Bryce Young isn't doing **** without quality teammates around him. He's on an all-star team at bama and they still lose games against teams with inferior QBs.

    Second, winning the division isn't the measuring stick of success. Especially when the rationale is that the division sucks. You build for ultimate success, not beating up on crappy teams and then laying an egg in the playoffs.

    Just my 2 cents though.

    Yep, we've seen this act before.

    It concludes with a butt kicking when they go up against good teams.

    I’m gonna assume you guys haven’t actually sat and watched Bama much this season. No one that has is talking about them having an all-star team or getting their butts kicked (well Saban is saying that). However, this is probably the least talented and by far the most mistake-laden team we have seen under Saban.

    Bryce’s two losses were against Top 10 teams on the road where he pretty much carried the team on his back. A missed go ahead FG and a OT 2-point conversion was literally the difference in those games.

    Damn. I know it's soon but he intrigues me more than every QB in the 2023 draft class.

    Part of me hopes the Texans pick a defensive player with their top pick this year and are still bad enough to get this guy in the 2024 draft.

    Spencer Rattler is starting to play some pretty good football. Has all the upside in the world. Not sure about the mental make up but could be a solid 2nd round guy to look at.

    Read an article earlier have to try and find it that said Alabama doesn’t have no other first round grade player on offense.

    Great video, thanks for sharing. Gotta love his attitude and mindset--I'd be ecstatic if we take him #1. He studies--Von Miller, Nick Bosa and Khalil Mack--pretty good role models to develop yourself as an NFL pass rusher. Size is not ideal, but he's powerfully built and should be able to add another 10-15 lbs to his frame.

    Yeah absolutely love the standard he sets for himself and his teammates.

    And I know the practice quote and getting 1% better everyday has Caserio smiling ear to ear.

    This is what we need this is the identity we need.
