Oh you know what man enough. I’m so sick of the fans who refuse to acknowledge that this front office is lost. It’s been 26 years. Give it up. They aren’t going to magically “figure it out”

Tyler smith has talent yes. But fans were told they were addressing the penalties in the off season. How have they done that? By drafting the most penalty prone tackle in the country. That’s how lol. They didn’t address OL in FA well because it’s too expensive ya know. And now they passed on a blue chip defensive end prospect with a good head on his shoulders for a project at OL.

give him a year? Sure. Be happy about it? No chance in you know what.


Ok.......lol

I was pretty harsh on the pick last night, I would’ve traded down since the board didn’t go our way , but there’s nothing we can do about it now…I think we all wanted a big upgrade at LG, hopefully this is it.

WOW....

Public comment #1 Jones: There were only 14 players in the draft with a first round grade.
Public comment #2 Jones: We thought Tyler Smith was #16 on our board.

Hidden result. "We think that we've drafted a second round quality player at #24.

i can definitely believe Smith was no 16 on their board,they wont lie about that because too many people have seen their board.

Their board is not the best, they only had 14 players with 1st round grade. How limited is that?

Agree 100%......no question

If he plays.

We really going to trot a player with such poor technique out vs the likes of Aaron Donald? He'll get completely whipped!

I don't think he's a day one starter. I'm going to cheer for him, because I also would love a little Larry Allen on this team, but it's going to take time to get him there

This is straight crap. In the secret audio with Tyler— JJ tells him that he beat out 3 other players they had rated higher on their board.

This was a forced need pick and Smith is a high trait development player. They broke the first rule of drafting: trust and stick to your board.

Even if he becomes an All Pro— it doesn’t change the fact that the principles and philosophy on display is flawed and erroneous.

A terrible, tumultuous offseason, followed by a free agency period that saw the roster get worse in overall talent, followed by a panic pick in round 1 because they had not considered a scenario that both Green and Johnson would be gone.

Incompetent. Arrogant. Predictable. Cowboys!

Hmmm......didn't we hear rumblings the Titans like him a lot?

I'd be curious to know how that conversation went. They looked set to trade down and then I guess recieved some Intel they would lose their guy if they did so. Normally you trade down because you have a few guys who are rated equally and you don't let one guy kill the deal. Unless of course Jerry is completely full of crap.

Tyler is an excellent physical specimen. Strong like bull and just as mean!
He merely needs to get technically squared away. :grin:

A #16 fella couldn't be all bad, could he?

Well . . . of course not!!

Well, he's their 16 player and he committed 16 penalties last year. Fits

…..of course there is still a chance we may be proven wrong about the final outcome.

That was definitely not a Jones pick. More than one person saw something in this young man. I wonder if they could have gotten him later.

Well you know that follows reason does it not? 16 would have a 2nd round grade on him?

So?

That just means that you guys are even more incompetent then we thought. As if that was possible.
