Cmon man, Legette is 23 with 12 career TDs

Worthy will be 21 as has been productive all 3 years, he’s not a 1 year wonder trying to cash in.

its unfortunate that a heavy offensive draft doesn't really seem to make me excited for a defensive guy to fall. I am sure people are high on the corners but I don't really care much about that position with our shitty pass rush.


or inconsistent pass rush if someone wants to regurgitate how many sacks we got last year.

so bowers or btj seem like the most promising options

If Dallas Turner slips they probably take him, and Jared Verse is still a dark horse candidate to me. I’m back and forth on Latu, but his injury history probably rules him out.

In the second I could see them looking at Darius Robinson or Chris Braswell. Just listened to an interview with Braswell and the guy squats 900 lbs. that’s insane.

But what I think will help the rush more than anything is improved secondary play.

They went defensive heavy in free agency, they’ve gotta get Richardson more weapons

Does a good job of hiding his routes and intentions. He attacks the ball in the air using his hands. His speed gives teams fits they are so afraid of it. He gets large cushions that he takes advantage of on come backs, deep curls, digs, outs and slants. He also clears out whole areas as a distraction bc safeties freak out when he is in their area, freeing things underneath for other receivers. But he knows how to use his speed also and can juke guys in short range and goal line situations, also a huge distraction as a potential jet sweep. A couple other things, Ewers is not a good deep ball thrower and he missed him on quite a few would be touchdowns. I know a couple longhorns fans and they told me he would get open a lot but the pass would be short or late allowing the corner to close. Also you may see people talk about him dropping a lot of passes last year, but he had a broken hand which not many know. His catching was much better this year.

He is also a good returner.

But if I’m Steichen I’m looking at potential mismatches and YAC guys. Bowers, Corley, Worthy, BTj, Mitchell. He wants more explosive plays and there are quite a few receivers lost in this draft that have r was on good speed.
Ok, saw that Worthy was somewhat productive so figured he's more than just a 40 time. Agree we need more YAC guys. Hope we draft at least 2-3.

So many wasted high draft picks over the years.

Doubling up with Brian Thomas Jr. or Adonai Mitchell and Malachi Corley would be fun, if a bit unrealistic. Another interesting play would be to draft Quinyon Mitchell at 15 then trade up into the early 20s for Adonai Mitchell. If they do end up trading down and getting an extra 2 out of it, Kris Jenkins is another guy I'd want to target. He's strong enough to bulk up and play nose, but athletic enough to become a future 3T as well. Draft day this year will certainly be interesting.

Brian Thomas Jr but my guess is dipshit Ballard will trade way down.
