Baldy begs to differ... his analysis reveals that Fuaga is stronger than Alt is. Film shows that he was pushing around fellow #1 draft pick UCLA's Latu like a rag doll.

I’ll just say this:

I wanted DeShaun Watson. Folks didn’t like him.
I wanted Lamar Jackson. Folks didn’t like him.
I wanted CJ Stroud. Folks didn’t like him.

Hopefully I’m wrong about Penix because the other three went to the SEC. This one is in our division. 🥲

2 out of 3 ain't bad.. DW is a disaster. Lamar may have reached his ceiling, but good call. CP mouthed off on him. CJ Stroud looks good so far.

What about JD5?

None of the picks do anything without some beef up front.

Watson was elite before Cleveland.

I love Daniels.

He’s talented. I’m not a fan, but he’s got natural gifts.

Hey, Rez. What do you think about our fifth round QB?

I’ve been watching his film all morning. South Carolina must have had Pete Carmichael, Jr. as their OC. This playcalling is atrocious. Idk how many times I’ve seen three men on routes against six and seven men in coverage. Not to mention their getting back their to Rattler with a three and four man rush. Everything about his mechanics screams NFL QB. There’s a reason why his numbers with Oklahoma under Lincoln Riley were so much better. If they stayed together he’d probably be a top 5 pick due to production and the media. Based on his South Carolina tape, he reminds me of Baker Mayfield, Russel Wilson, and Gardner Minshew.

DA doesn’t do the drafting. Yes, he has some input but no where near as much as Jeff Ireland and Loomis, of course. Allen doesn’t have near the trust of the Saints management as did Payton. I have heard and read that from several sources. Honestly, I wouldn’t doubt Kubiak has as much or more say so on offensive players than Allen now.
