Looks real good, Nutty.
Any concerns about a possible Red Flag/Character on Mazi ?

I'm from Julian... where half of the pickup trucks in the HS parking lot had rifles hanging on gun racks.
Of course, when we played football at Bishop's HS we saw none (rifles, racks or pickup trucks) when stepping off the bus...

Have you seen Mazi in the stairwell...?

How GMs rated and picked these WRs in their draft.....M.Brown, N.Harry, A.Isabella, P.Cambell, JJ.Whiteside, M.Hardman ahead of DK.Metcalf made no sense to me in that draft.

Chargers picked Tillery over Metcalf or AJ.Brown.
Then with Crosby on board they pick Pipkins.And I seem to remember somebody was a big Crosby fan. Might have been you Beach.

Telesco draft that year has gotten even worse as time goes on.

[beachcomber]

was an AJ Brown fan, but wasn't really much if any of a need, and don't recall even knowing much about Crosby @all.

do remember some real cause for pause around Metcalf tho.... maybe not so unlike when Herbert came out ??

recall liking Erik McCoy, but don't think I really had a super solid pick there.... do recall liking Adderley quite a bit.... just really hard to slot some of those guys.

liked Yodny Cajuste over Pips, and liked Bryce Love and Jarrett Stidham that year.... really didn't/don't care for the Tranquill selection.

liked Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence some, but really liked Jeffrey Simmons, and early in the process, and alas.... they were nowhere to be found for us round one.

remember peoples liking the safeties, Rapp and Thornhill.

picking Easton Stick over Gardner Minshew left a fair bit to be desired.... recall liking him as a Baker Mayfield backup for the Browns.

recall liking T Isaiah Prince and WR Kelvin Harmon over Egbule.

McLaurin was a good third round pick, and woulda cost us our second, minus Nasir, albeit eye had nothing on him.

drafting for need is most always problematic....

an answer as to whether Philly would draft Bijan w/their top selection....

https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/2023-nfl-mock-draft-could-eagles-take-rb-bijan-robinson-no-5

and the Acme Packing Company bye week edition.... a few names perhaps worth our consideration and a peek @how a perennially strong franchise might view their draft.

Roseman is a positional value acolyte, a firm believer in trenches first and foremost with quarterback and wide receiver tailing not too far behind.

Great philosophy IMO.
