    Sorry to quote the whole thing (I hate when people do that)...but you made so many good points.

    We had a draft plan and pretty much stuck to it.  -  Something that Freddie didn't do with his offensive play calling.

    Wills being a RT and the switch to LT not being easy. - I agree.  Berry says, Tackles are Tackles....and that defenses put their best pass rusher in different spots along the DLine.  But that doesn't mean that the positions are the same.  Wills would not be the first RT not able to make the switch to LT.  (and I'm NOT saying that he WILL fail....just that it's not a given).    But even if he cannot adequately handle the LT spot, Concklin has played LT.

    Delpit - IMO we've always failed miserably at covering good TE's.  I think Stef knows the value of good TE's and he wants to try to stop other teams from doing to us what he wants to do to them with his own TE's.

    Harris - I think he was selected as a future Center.  But for now he can be depth at C & G.  Perhaps, if he shows well, he could be the RG.

    Bryant - Well, Stef loves TE's.  And apparently the guy can catch.  Of course we have Hooper & Njoku, so, I'm also wondering who is gonna be the blocking TE's...and how many of them will we have?   Unless the FB will be a blocking TE....

    Thanks for the kudos. If I sounded pessimistic I didn't intend to. I am generally optimistic about this group but just wanted to note the concerns. I think what's different about this draft is that in the past we were worried about whether a player's ability would translate to the pros. With this draft I don't think many people question the talent is there at the pro level. It's just making sure that it fits the scheme as well it seems it will.

    You can say that again!

    You didn't sound pessimistic to me.  -  I'm pessimistic.  That way I don't get so disappointed.  🙂

    You'll have to forgive me for not being a student of 50's football.  It's practically not even the same game and hasn't been as much for at least 30 years.

    Don't worry. The closer the approach to 75 the less other people remember.  LOL!??

    Here is a radio broadcast of the end of the Texas - Ark game in 1969. Kern Tips was the radio guy doing the verbal broadcast for people who could not actually see the game you see here. And he is calling this through just eyes and binoculars since he cannot see the TV images you see. He was the radio voice of  SW Conference football from the 50-70s. You will hear the name Koy called as a Texas halfback on the play after this long pass. Ted Koy played TE for mainly the Bills.

    FYI,  there was not a black kid on either team there in 1969.    Segregation in its last gasp in the south at that point. Even though  integration was forced on Alabama U when James Meredith was enrolled there a few years earlier, and even though a guy named OJ Simpson was tearing up college football,  those southern football teams would still not integrate.  But, when Alabama got pounded by USC....and particularly by Sam Bam Cunningham.....Bear Bryant finally determined that he had to go get him some black boys to play for him.

    That is not "pessimism"  that is  whinyassbitchism.  Boston's basketball team had been winning a ton of titles;  their hockey team had won titles.  And by 2004 their football team had won a couple of titles.  And look since how many titles each of those Boston area teams have won. They are overprivileged little cuntholes is what they are,  not "pessimists".   

    Now, in Cleveland, we have pessimism.  The football team not appearing in a title game since 1964.  Then the  1997 and 2016 7th game extra inning losses in the World Series.    It has waned a bit since the Cavs won in 2016....but its still there big time, really.  When the Browns and Indians win...then maybe it will go away.

    Hayden Fry of SMU was the icebreaker in the mid-60s for the SWC with Jerry Levias, born about 6 months before I was in our hometown of Beaumont, Texas. A second round pick of the old AFL by the Oilers. Now works for the Texans as a PR "Ambassador". There was another player at Baylor who came in the same year (1966) named John Westbrook. Levias was 1st team SWC all 3 eligible years and AA his senior year. Think speed and hands.

    There's a good documentary regarding the USC vs Alabama game, and it insinuates that Bear Bryant specifically scheduled that game knowing Alabama would lose so that their fans would see that if they want a great team, they needed to have black players.

    What makes you think these are "comebacks"?  Since I have no clue what you have been talking about....as I said,  you are just talking to yourself.  Why don't you must move on to something that makes some sense.
