    I think they could go Mingo or Cedric Tillman if they don't feel they need someone to stretch the field. I'd rather gamble on Michael Wilson and his lack of production a round later and get a surefire starter at center and possibly another edge or corner in 3rd...

    I doubt Achane will be there but he's good value anywhere in third. He gives us something Pierce does not...

    He's definitely more charismatic than I thought he would be...should have no problem being a leader.

    Yeah I like it. He seems like a good kid.
    If he would change agents and QB coach (piece of ****) I could fully get on board

    Don’t like/listen to 610. It’s for old ppl.

    Does he sound like a leader?

    He might work out with Quincy Avery from time to time, but it seems like he actually works out at 3dQB along with Bryce Young more often than not. Probably means Quincy isn't his QB coach.

    You should probably hide from the board for a min. The Levis love was a poor understanding of football LOL.

    We will see. The thing is I didn’t want Levis at 2. You can’t get over your love affair with Stroud to see that.
    Also, I was joking with you. But if you want to go this route, we can.
    So don’t forget to cup the balls and don’t let a drip drip or Stroud won’t let you blow him anymore

    He sounds excited, not sure about leader, but he sounds like he’s happy

    Edit: Fixed the link. Conference starts at 30:55



    Here's the press conference. I thought he was impressive. Came across as very genuine and even joked with Caserio a bit. Definitely could see him being more impressive as a potential leader for his teammates than Davis Mills. Mills is a good guy, but his personality just comes across as very flat and vanilla. When Joe Burrow talks, you want to listen and unfortunately Mills just doesn't have that. Stroud has the potential to have that.

    Video won’t play.

    The reason I liked Mahomes over Watson was they way they spoke. Mahomes sounded like a leader and Watson seemed to care more about what he could do. I no longer have IG so I can’t see their profiles but I also noticed most of Mahomes post were about football. Watson posts resembled materialistic values.

    I fixed the link. I agree with you. Watson changed up real quick. His social media was almost exclusively about showcasing a flashy lifestyle. I remember he was hanging out with former pornstars and rappers shortly after he was drafted. I think part of the issue was that his family structure was unfortunately very weak with his mom not being able to be a vocal influence in his life and his dad completely out of the picture. It's worth monitoring for Stroud, but so far his character seems to be much higher than Watson's was with the information we have currently.

    Just listened to it. He seemed to give thoughtful answers and was humble. He seemed likeable.

    I think this was the best thing that surprised me I really thought CJ was going to be lethargic based on other things that I’ve seen from him.. no he’s got realness, sincerity and a lot more non bland than I thought …I’m very pleased with both of these guys that are going to be great additions

    Thought they did a great job. I especially like will. Reminds me a lot of Demeco’s character.
