The rumors for Love I think should be taken seriously. It is already a bit odd to take a RB this high. But to trade up for one would be very very unusual. So I think when it seems like a team is leaning towards Love, it's probably legit.

They are also the most faceless team in the NFL.  Name a star player that you would go to see play on the Cards.  Even the Browns have Myles Garrett.

Add in that the owner and Love are from the same city (STL).

the fuck?

I heard this third hand but allegedly the Amish community down near Colombia TN and the Vietnamese community in Nashville have strong bonds as the Amish sell them “walking chickens” with their legs and feet still in tact. The chicken are also GMO/hormone free and a bit more springy/muscular. In return for this arrangement, the Vietnamese people drove the Amish people to the polls to vote for Trump in 2024. Crazy shit I know but it’s almost too bizarre to be false and I trust my source.

I personally have no idea but he makes a compelling case

I don’t think teams are for an edge rusher who is bad against the run. Some will - but smart ones- imo - wont.  Reese at least projects to be a more complete DE/ OLB.

 

ill say again/ the last time saleh drafted someone like that he played 16% of the time.  Particularly in today’s nfl with its heavy rpo schemes 
 

 

How does a 240 lbs player who has never played edge full time - and was worse when he did - project as a better and more complete player?

That group of offensive skill players would be awesome.  Love, McBride, Harrison (assuming he lives up to his college hype), and Wilson.  They even have a good LT.  All they need is a QB and they'd be cooking.

He's strong at the point of attack and is explosive

Big Jeff is the one announcing for the titans. One of only 4 active players

From scouting reports, I've read.  (I'm not pretending to have scouted him)

 

 Reese's run defense grade was 86.5. Bailey's scouting reports call him a "virtual zero" against the run. 

 

Yes, Reese's edge grade was lower than his off-ball grade — he was learning the position in real time as a one-year starter splitting snaps 50/50. His pass rush is raw. Nobody's denying that. But even with that rawness, CBS noted he was displacing Big Ten tackles with pure power at 241 pounds. You can teach pass rush moves. You can't teach that kind of violence at the point of attack.

 

And he's 20 years old. Parsons was 246 at the combine and playing at 250+ within two years. Reese has frame to grow. Multiple scouts have said Bailey may have maxed out his.

 

For me- when i read teh scouting reports, I read Reese as projected to able to be that more complete player with a lt of rawness.  For Bailey he's an edge rusher, pure and simple.    I wouldnt want teh Titans to get teh specialist edge rusher at 4.   I also dont' love Reese at 4 bc so much of his stuff is projection based.   I just think a lot of the hype around these two is bc they are the only thing close to Edge rushers worth a top 10 pick.

Does it give anyone else pause that they had the #3 spot just 3 years ago and moved back... and are doing it again.. like.. Wait. It apparently didn't work the first time, so lets run that again?  (I have no idea who they passed on and got instead- I'll look in a second)
