Welcome JT Woods, DB, Baylor (R3, #79)

Why he’s a HC, and we’re not.

Coach Staley's staff bases their assessment that JT Woods' best football is ahead of him, on the words of Dave Aranda & Ron Roberts.

Coach Staley specifically mentioned JT's Oklahoma tape. Watch the 1st play from scrimmage on Woods tackling skills. And the second.

Woods was a receiver in HS. He is our new deep threat. Staley is going to play him both ways and start a new trend.

The fuck.

How would a ten yard split mean on many plays he would get there first? The forty is the standard of fast. Ten yard split matters or they wouldn't measure it but its not the forty. Plus. Mager was a small school project. Woods is a D1 full timer that played in real conference title games and real bowl games vs real talent. They never saw Mager vs anyone good.

The 10 yard split shows how fast the player is in a short area. Most pass patterns are not 40 yard fly patterns. Most patterns involve change of direction and cover less vertical ground. Running plays involve running up toward the line of scrimmage over a shorter area.

Your implied suggestion by citing the article you cited that Woods would somehow be two feet ahead of Mager all the time is just wrong. Mager was faster initially and on most plays Woods would not have the chance to run 40 yards in a straight line to catch and pass Mager.

To be clear, my discussion has nothing to do with who is a better player. I have simply indicated my opposition to your suggestion that Woods is significantly faster than Mager was because his 40 time was .08 seconds faster. I do not think that is true, especially in light of Mager's faster 10 yard split time, regardless of the ability of either player on the field.

That’s a platitude. Of course you hope anybody you pick will improve. Sounds like Pipkens

Popper’s quick breakdown:

https://theathletic.com/3283555/2022/04/30/jt-woods-draft-los-angeles-chargers/

Brugler had Woods at #128. One consensus big board had him #137. We took him at #79. We have another pick at #123. The pick is a clear reach--again. The consensus #44 player was sitting on the board at #75 with most everyone knowing he would go at pick #76.

In that scenario, could we please trade up to #75 (as HOU actually did) and take the #44 consensus ranked player instead of the #137 consensus ranked player, a player ranked f@&$ing 93 players lower? As a newsflash, taking the better player, you know, the one ranked 93 players ahead of the other player, does not prevent us from going after the worse player with a later pick.

Telesco's draft strategy is just off in this scenario. It is a case study in how not to conduct a draft.

16:45 big PBU. Laid out the WR with a shoulder to the ribs.

Next rep INT for #12, but Woods had the route jumped too, pulls up and screens the WR so his teammate gets the ball. Very heads up play, lots of times you see DBs collide there. Long time in coverage too.

So far he's had 4 good to great snaps and 2 okay snaps.

This is #8 OU @ #12 Baylor. Big time college football, gtfo with this Pipkins shit.

It is laughable that you are making this comment after Telesco/Staley just gave a perfect example of how not to conduct the selection of a player.

Maybe S was a need area even though it seems we draft 1 every year. I would have thought RT was a bigger need area give we have had disastrous play there for a few years. ILB as well given Kenneth Murray has been inconsistent and hurt a lot.

I am near BUF so hear a lot of their trade discussions . They basically loaded up in FA and added a luxury RB ( James Cook, Dalvin Cook's brother) pick in rnd 2 to an already loaded O who may even start. It seems they are loading up for the SB while we still have needs to plug.

Staley and Telesco mentioned in their press conference that IOL was the bigger priority over, and that they weren’t going to reach for an RT. It seems that they cared more about RG and S than RT and LB.

The Bills have holes to fill also especially at OL.

I hope this pick works out. Staley had input into the S's they had last year too though but hope it works this time. I don't get what they do 1/2 the time but I'll drink the kool aid again.

They only drafted one safety under Staley before this, and he was a 7th rounder.

24:00 first maybe bad rep, rotates up on slot guy, slow to redirect on the post route but he did have deep help. Really hard to tell technique and assignment a whole lot from some of these angles.
