As I was looking for draft stuff, someone posted a Austin Booker video. He missed half the season with an injury but was playing his best ball at the end of the season. He had 4.5 sacks and 2 he didnt get credit for because of QB roughing calls. He is ready to be a 10 sack DE of which we are trying to find in the draft. IMO we have players on the team that will be contributing more this year coming off of injury or just getting better. Jordan Van Der Berg is an exciting prospect that definitely needs some coaching. His strength and quickness is off the charts.

UDFAs reported to have signed with the BearsJaren Kump, C/OL, Utah (link) Miller Moss, QB, Louisville (link) KC Eziomume, CB, Tulane (link) Caden Barnett, iOL, Wyoming (link) Gabriel Plascencia, K, San Diego State (link) Coleman Bennett, RB, Kennesaw State (link) Skyler Thomas, S, Oregon State (link) Hayden Large, TE, Iowa (link) Beau Gardner. LS, Georgia (link) Squirrel White, WR, Florida State (link) Jayden Loving, DT, Wake Forest (link) Omari Kelly, WR, Michigan State (link) Mason Murphy, OT, Auburn (link) Caden Barnett is a monster and Jayden Loving has some game.

It can not be put any better. An odd draft but as being a winning team now, we specifically filled spots without major additions at the DL , a glaring need. Van Der Berg is going to be a big surprise. IMO

It always amazes me how the scouts find these guys you barely hear of and the tape looks so good. Im trying to find one a little longer but some short ones shows this dude relentlessly tackling players. https://youtube.com/shorts/c900oal73EA?si=Cx3jXfxxXF-6yzTM

He didnt get invited to the Combine but did 35 BPs which would have been second in all positions.

An interesting stat is with 44 Ts his average depth of tackle was -.11 yards on run plays which is incredible.

I was going to mention that as an international player, he wont count against the roster.

He's very athletic, high motor that had 44 Ts 11 TFL, and 3 sacks. 6'4" 305 lbs with 4.94 speed. Loves football and was on the Freaks list.

We just traded up and got Jordan van der Berg. We got DL help, ( I have no idea if he is any good. )

This draft isnt going to be received well because of the last of prospects on the DL but I think it overall upgrades the roster. Theineman with Bryant are definite upgrade over the two starters last year. By reading the profiles Muhammad and Elliott could be eventual starters that have speed. Roush , Thomas, Jones all add to the offense .

Even without him I think our WR room will be good, with BJ, he will be a weapon that defenses have to account for that upgrades the rest of the offense. His speed demands attention. I look forward to see how the second year of this offense gets better. Raymond and Thomas add 4.34 and 4.28 speed. BJ is going to have fun.

The two of them were here for the good and bad picks. I dont think the grades by the sports organizations really mean anything in the long run because it is just an instant reaction without them being on an NFL field. You dont get realistic evaluations until 3 to 4 yrs down the road.

Yes , my point was they are paid millions to get things right referring to stacking their board as to pundits and fans rating players We only have last year to judge this group, and it was successful. What I stated had to do with trusting them because of last years draft, not making a point that getting paid big money made them good .

If there is someone there they like they could trade both their 7th picks and move up somewhere. Otherwise 70 picks away. Take a nap.

They staying with their board and drafting players they like. It would be nice to grab a DT or DE but if they arent rated very high by their scouts. muh

Elliot has 4.58 speed and was a a team captain and had the green dot for the defense. 98 tackles-7 sacks-2 PDs , 6'1 1\2 " at 233 lbs. Brugler says is an eventual starter.

Iots or RBs still on the board that could be our third back.

DTs still available that fit the scheme are RayShaun Benny and Demonta Capehart. Also Zane Durant. DE still has Caden Curry, Max LLewellan, and Josh Josephs available.

This is a secret weapon that after the first time the DC ignores him, he will score a TD and from that day on they will have to know where he is. On other teams may not be used much, but BJ will make him a weapon.

Its not what I wanted but being we had limited draft capital. ( no 5th or 6th round picks to trade). Moving up is a lot more costly. They got pieces but no DL. There is always after draft additions.
