2023 NFL Draft Thread

I really like Sean Tucker in the mid-late rounds. 

Lamar needs a burner or a Pickens type who can go up and get. Addison is a route running ace and needs a QB who can hit him w/o breaking stride. Think Addison would ball out on the Chargers. Also PS: don't let him fall to the Chiefs. 

Honestly don't think that was a bad trade for the Jets. At worst Rodgers improves the QB position from putrid to bang avg. and the cap is manageable. They didn't spend much in the way of draft picks either. Jets needed to do something before they have to pay their D.

speaking of Florida....top 10 HS for NFL players drafted over the last 10 years. 1-2-3 are in Florida, and 5 of the top 10 are in Florida. 50% of the top HS in all of 'Merica for NFL players....Florida.

Is IMG basically a football school?  I guess they have some classes?

I saw a head line saying IMG was being sold

It's actually a very good school for academics. Tuition and fees come close to $100K/year. They don't have much in terms of financial aid either.

Didn't it start as a tennis academy?

I think it's only become a football hotspot in the past decade or so

I'd be far more curious of a list of public schools.  This just proves football academies draw highly rated football recruits

So far, if I'm listening right, Stroud has armor from God that he should probably share with the tiny, puny Bryce Young.
Rent it or sell it?

That Colts front office had a "Irsay made this pick" vibe.
