Throwback to the 1st round of the 2021 draft

All of those but Lance were pretty good college QBs. I think it's more of a statement about the differences between (most) college football and NFL. Competition, schemes, for starters. Teams like Ohio State can build better than their general competition, helpin gthe QB, then they get thrown to the NFL wolves.

True. Most of these guys come in with insufficient experience and thrust into starting way too soon. Add that they’re drafted by bad teams and it’s not surprising.

Man.......how things have changed. Surtain and Horn were our top targets.



Tons of misses by other teams

Man, Alex Leatherwood has to be one of the sorriest first round picks in history. Released after his rookie year.

By one of the sorriest selectors of first round picks in history, no less.

Yup, me too.
I was torn between Sewell and Slater as tackles.

I remember having lengthy discussions over which position is more impactful and/or important to team success, the elite pass rusher or the left tackle.

I recall both sides having strong arguments to support their views.

I was a huge Slater fan. Argued a bunch with people on here who were adamant that he was too small to stay at OT.

Yep, it's weird cuz I'm Roll Tide as a college fan but I believe their
offensive tackles have some kinda curse on them.

Evan Neal,who went to the Giants in 2022 has been almost as bad as Leatherwood.
It's why I wanted nothing to do with Kadyn Proctor this year.

Evan Neal is who Guyton reminds me of.

Micah was a special player and I still think we’ll regret losing him. If we fail to win a Super Bowl and Micah goes on to have a Hall of Fame career, then you’re delusional if you think it was the right move.
