The thing that blows my mind about this pick is Mathis was starting to get together from his injury last year. The DT depth and talent is nuts now. I'd be shocked if our run defense didn't improve dramatically with the upgrades at linebacker behind them. F your tush push.

Don't reach.

He got hungry hippo hands...catching it is the point, the rest can take care of itself if he does that and keeps winning 50/50 balls being aggressive.

Thats exactly what I believe they trying to do. They needed TE more then a potentially overcrowded WR room.

Ya, you don't sign that many free agents to be reaching in the draft to fill needs. After QB, if a need lined up with their big board, that's close as they was going to come to that. I'll be honest, over the years I've not been a fan of BPA because we never seem to do it right, or screw up and pick BPA at positions of need that turn into reaches. I felt this route we seeing today coming the first couple days of free agency. This allowed them to get best prospects they could, and the trade down showed that.

He may be able to play tackle, but him playing multiple positions help with depth in case someone goes down. At this point I don't believe our starting LT is on the roster yet...curious who's still out there at T or maybe after June 6th cuts. But interior will be a strength and of JD can move like we think he can, weakness at tackle won't be end of the world until we can address it more next offseason. Pressure up the middle sucks more, it can stop everything before it even starts, no matter who the QB is.

I'm genuinely trying to get where you're coming from... But I strongly disagree with going right back to how we got here again or the anologies and hypotheticals you are throwing out in this conversation. I'm not making up anything, I'm responding to what you're typing as you're typing. If you mean something else and I'm not getting it, say that and clarify. What else do I have to go on then what you say and what you show?

Man...somethings I agree with you on and somethings I dont... I can't co-sign with you in this one, this is so off-base it's not even in the ballpark anymore. Here we go ago settling back to debating how we got here...in the meantime there are now a growing number of campus with images going around the world of riot police breaking up protests of actions by their government. There's no nice way to spin this, at this scope and growing, it's becoming a bad look. Some may, for better or worse it as sadly family.

Begs the question if they still would if we occupied the largest Spanish speaking country in the world.

I read this whole thing out of respect, but it's still a bad analogy. We aren't currently occupying Mexico. We didn't establish settlements in Iraq or Afghanistan to kick those people out and move Americans in with illegal settlements under international law, either. We should be looking at this from the perspective of trying to save as many lives as can be in a situation that is actually happening versus a hypothetical to justify it.

Take your own advice and stop generalizing me when responding to my posts then. I'm not everyone, I'm an individual you are debating with here. Chill. Stop being the hero pointing out a damn thing, it makes you look like a villian instead on this one. This is too long a post to be claiming you dont care about this issue or the people protesting our country's current official policy and actions on it. Pick one. Not all genocide are as obvious as the concentration camps in the holocaust. What you just described is very similar to what happened to the Rohyinga: https://www.unicef.org/emergencies/rohingya-crisis If folks like you stop trying to keep score it's easier to call out one wrong thing at a time.

I can dig it. I'll back off and come back later, then.

Weak. Last I checked, no one accusing anybody of committing genocide against White Americans or the United States sending billions of dollar of military aid to do it. Apples and Oranges from a why they even protesting standpoint to be nitpicking a out what a few of them are doing. You disappointment. You keep coming back to this being about jus the students, but even their teachers are coming out to support them now. To requote myself, I didn't not specify the students in these protests in my posts, I was talking about the growing protests in these campuses general, USC has never been through this before, Speaker of the House jus went to Columbia University the other day:

The question was on the protests...some of yall jumped to the conclusion this was jus aboutnignoring college students when their teachers are no walking out too the way the colleges are jus going straight to calling ruot police. https://www.wionews.com/world/gaza-protest-in-us-universities-faculty-members-walk-out-after-police-arrest-pro-palestinian-protesters-714014

We play them this year at home, give it to 'em in person : ) He was talking about running ability, not passing ability.
