I don’t typically like late flyers on a Qb either, and I’m gonna get roasted, but I would on Taylen Green this year with the thought of him replacing AOC on the cheap and more upside.RunOverByHubbard wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:20 am So, we lost a 6th round pick but we have some picks left to get DT, CB, and LB. maybe a backup QB too? But I don't like flyers on late round QBs. They are almost always just camp arms and we can get those in many ways.
I don't like the comparison. Murray was way overrated here. He doesn't run as strong as people thought. Didn't break many tackles. He went down easier than his size would suggest. I like Washington much more.CWood24 wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:24 am Someone is gonna love the Murray comparison & start Mike Washington Jr thread
Can't believe Nuss is still there. Nuss, Payton, Aguilar would be great picks for teams rn.Viper wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:27 am I don’t typically like late flyers on a Qb either, and I’m gonna get roasted, but I would on Taylen Green this year with the thought of him replacing AOC on the cheap and more upside.
I’m talking real late.
If the coaching staff has zero confidence in AOC, I could see us drafting a developmental type in the 7th if there's someone they really like.Viper wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:27 am I don’t typically like late flyers on a Qb either, and I’m gonna get roasted, but I would on Taylen Green this year with the thought of him replacing AOC on the cheap and more upside.

In the CBS Draft Tracker we have 175, 185, and 219.
Agree with this.MexicanHulk wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:25 am Plus Jeanty >>>> Walker & Washington >>>>>>>> Charbonnet
I'm not a Charbonnet fan lol. Walker I like but, Jeanty is way better
Are we gonna owe Mike Washington Jr. an apology?RunOverByHubbard wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:21 am Pro Comparison: Latavius Murray
Summary
Mike Washington Jr. is a bigger running back, which can make it more difficult for him to sink and change directions, but he contributes on all three downs. He has the size to be a feature back in the NFL and the burst to go the distance once he hits daylight.
About
2025: 167 carries, 1,070 yards, 8 TD
Career: Led team in rushing at Arkansas (2025), New Mexico State (2024), Buffalo (2022)
Strengths
Good top-end speed and builds it quickly.
Does a good job pressing the gap and breaking defenders down in space before making his cut.
Good vision and size to force third-level defenders into business decisions.
Weaknesses
Seven fumbles over the past two seasons.
Not as physically imposing as his size would suggest.
Modest pass-catching production.
Combine Data
40-yard dash: 4.33 seconds
Vertical jump: 39 inches
Broad jump: 10 feet, 8 inches

For a few years, Amazon's Thursday Night Football had an alternate audio stream where two British soccer announcers (Derek Rae and Tommy Smyth) would call the game. They were pretty good, too.Rabidraider wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:32 am Hearing German guys hyping American football teams is funny as hell...
We are not recreating Seattle's system. But we are creating Kubiak's vision for what he wanted in Seattle. Washington is a piece we neededMexicanHulk wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:25 am Plus Jeanty >>>> Walker & Washington >>>>>>>> Charbonnet

Oh, he was most definitely overrated here. A few really were over the top. Most thought he was a good starter. I had him as a below avg overall RB. His rushing, contact balance, vision were all below avg. His pass blocking was very good &, pass catching was ok. & I agree with what you said about him.WNYRAIDER wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 10:35 am ....I don't like the comparison either, and hope it isn't accurate in the end, but I don't remember Murray being overrated as a raider, as much as I remember him being a disappointment who always ran too upright, was stiff, and as you said, didn't break tackles. or,more 'ran like jane', so to speak.....
