Mendoza has played well this season, last night was special against a team they already beat and one of the better teams in the country. Dude is on a Joe Burrow type run. Rooting for them to win it all, crazy story. Moore has a tough choice, it’s absolutely hard to turn down being a top 5 pick. Risky to go back. I’m sure he’s getting paid by Oregon nicely though
Wow, I could tell he's a good athlete but damn...just looked up his bio on Iowa's website: Played a variety of offensive positions in high school, throwing for 1,803 yards and 25 touchdowns, rushing for 652 yards and 14 touchdowns and totaling 697 receiving yards and 14 scores... also played safety on defense, recording 11 interceptions and scoring two defensive touchdowns... multi-sport athlete, also lettering three years in basketball, and two years in soccer and track… starter on basketball team that qualified for state as a junior... qualified for Iowa state track meet (Class 2A) as a senior in the 100m, and qualified for both the 100m (finished eighth) and 200m as a junior.
Elway was able to do that cuz he got Drafted by the Yankees pretty high iirc. Eli did cuz he was a legacy Nepo baby. Bo Jackson did it cuz he was lied to iirc. Kyler Murray could have done it because he was a high MLB draftee but other than him no one could pull off a move like that. What Dante could do is enter the draft, not hire an nfl agent or take ‘pro’ money and if he gets drafted by the Jets sue the paper tiger NCAA on the grounds he still has eligibility. We’re headed there anyway so start the ball rolling Dante. This would piss off Woody and the rest of the trash owners so I would expect them to try and pass an NBA style ‘we own your rights in perpetuity’ type of rule.
Highlights of his last 2 games, Nebraska and Vanderbilt: 10 catches, 250ish yards, 2 TDs. And he's from Iowa so you know he can block. https://www.facebook.com/BTN/videos/dj-vonnahmes-highlights-vs-vandy/897550106287244/ listed at 6'4" 240lbs at 19 years old
Please Shranta get us Anthony Hill Jr. I got hosed on Christmas. I'm owed. Plus, I think he would be a HUGE add for this defense which is already legen-dairy. #SWARM
I want Hill, Golday or Trotter with the second 2nd rounder. Any of the 3 would be wonderful insurance for when we have a tough call to make on Al Shaair.
Golday looking like a unicorn RN... I would want to see his measurables at the combine, but he looks legit. Sleeper pick: Kendal Daniels (OU)
Golday. I like Hunter, but we've been able to find FA DTs that have done well. LB has been tougher and Golday looks like he's a bit of a hybrid as cover and rush LB. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...026-scouting-report-cincinnati-lb-jake-golday A LB that can hit 22 mph seems crazy.
Rankins and Autry are FAs right? With WAJ and Stroud needing to be paid, seems they will be gone. We need a young DT in the worst way.
True... Edwards, Togiai, & Kyonte Hamilton are UC for next year. Rankins has some $$$ in void years so Texans are incentivized to bring him back. Texans stood by Autry through the drug charges = he should be willing to give a discount to come back & be a part of this historic defense. As you said, I would still add a young hoss to the IDL room. However, I would not say is a high imperative. Plus Cap's scheme makes some JAGS look great. Okam & Rod Wright are making players look darn good and coaching the bejeezus out of 'em. Doesn't hurt to have WAJ & Hunter putting pressure.
