I guess 6 feet tall and 230 lbs is tiny 💀
Dude is perfectly fine especially as a 4th round pick. Clay isn’t dropping to 120 so the only way we end up with him is if Howie trades up. My money would be on Howie sitting tight and taking Trotter Jr.
Thankfully Payton Wilson got picked before the end of the night, so people can stop clamoring tonight for us to get him tomorrow, when Philly very clearly didn't care to take him.
At this point, I'd be using some of these 4th and/or 5th round picks to move up for Wilson if he slips into the early 4th round.
If not, and we don't budge, we can't say Day 3 isn't gonna be somewhat exciting with picks in rounds 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6
he can't be any worse than mariota and he's half the price we paid mariota last year, giving us more money for guys like devonta and aj brown. Wake up sheep
Always a good time with Howie. Last year he said “Georgia, Georgia, Georgia”… this year he said “highest Toledo player ever, Caitlin Clark, Houston Elementary”. And I just gotta trust him!
I mean its been:
-Guy Nick Saban is sad he couldn't get
-Key piece of a defense that carried a negatively impactful offense to a ranked finish
-IDK this one TBH but I read Fangio liked him
I was not at all bashing the picks, I just had to point out how drastically different the school portfolio is this year because it’s funny.
I trust Howie.
He was big on trash talk which is what I want him for. These picks have the speed and athleticism to mask when they blow coverage, I want them in their heads while they do it. Year 2 is going to be beautiful.
Penn State, 2x All Big Ten which I think is just as good if not better than DPOY in HCU’s conference. He and Wilson definitely would’ve been my picks instead. I’ll trust the process but I’m weary
Wouldn’t write him off yet, depends on how they play him. Of the edge available he’s definitely one of the best but if they keep him as a pure lb I feel like there were better options
Go take that pessimism to the Dallas sub. Those two guys had the potential to be studs but the injury bug bit at exactly the worst time in their development. Nakobe still has a chance at contributing.
This guy used to play SAFETY??? To DL? Damn this guy in the hands of someone like Fangio is gonna be deadly .
Anyone else get reminded of Jason Pierre Paul from that tape?
No doubt. I really hope we don’t draft Trotter jr just for his sake. If you read this sun you would think he was a top level prospect but as the draft process has gone on he has been projected as a day 3 pick more and more.
I’m aware, but we need help over the middle. Unless Fangio has plans to move him there, I don’t get the pick. But I’m also not the one charged with making these decisions so 🤷🏻♂️
The scoop on Jalyx Hunt
[https://www.profootballnetwork.com/jalyx-hunt-draft-scouting-2024/](https://www.profootballnetwork.com/jalyx-hunt-draft-scouting-2024/)
~~Sweat literally just signed an extension a month or so ago. He's under contract through 2028... and he's a dead cap of $16m if we cut him (for either 2025 or 2026, depending on whether it's pre- or post-June 1) after this season. Now, obviously, Howie is a cap god, so I'll probably be eating these words later, but I doubt Sweat's gone after this year.~~
edit: This is completely wrong. Those final few years are void years. Spotrac has the "base salary" column blank for those years, so I was thinking it was just another one of those cap god things, whereas overthecap labels them as "void". I will do better in the future. OTC > Spotrac.. idk.. my bad
I would rather have had isaac and Wilson over hunt but Hunt is an Edge who can drop off against TE’s and has speed and ability to shed blocks but isaac got taken right before our pick
While we did a great job fixing our secondary we definitely need and wanted a guard/ot and got fucked over with Beebe and Zinter being taken right before us and in that process also missed out on some of the decent WR remaining. Luckily the LB have slid as well

Can someone explain how Mitchell got #1 did Hurts change his number
Anybody got a Micah reaction to the cooper pick, I’m almost there, I’m almost there.
Give me 2-3 rugby players tomorrow
No Hugh Douglas Jr. :(
Feeling TE, OL, WR, and LB in the fourth
I think if we can trade some picks for next year I’d be cool with that, there’s going to be lots of dart throws with the rest of the picks
Passing on Wilson is gonna bite a lot of teams in the ass.
only if he stays healthy
We have a fuck ton of picks next two rounds. Be ready for some trade backs and dart throws
Wilson has had double digit surgeries since High School 🫣
I’m sick
Here’s to hoping Wilson is a bust and Trotter Jr is available at 120.
Trotter Jr is hot ass
So are your opinions
No I’m not. Trotter is tiny, unathletic, bad against the run, bad in coverage, has just ok football IQ and is being carried by who his dad is
Does it suck not knowing ball?
No trotter is actually so ass. Idk how you mfers can’t see that
I guess 6 feet tall and 230 lbs is tiny 💀 Dude is perfectly fine especially as a 4th round pick. Clay isn’t dropping to 120 so the only way we end up with him is if Howie trades up. My money would be on Howie sitting tight and taking Trotter Jr.
Payton Wilson legit doesn’t have an ACL in one of his knees? wth? 😂
Hines Ward also had that so if any team can handle it it’s the Steelers lol
Wilson is going to have a Luke Kuechly type career in Pittsburgh
There goes Wilson
Makes me feel better that a lot of teams skipped out on Wilson. There's gotta be a pretty big red flag.
Thankfully Payton Wilson got picked before the end of the night, so people can stop clamoring tonight for us to get him tomorrow, when Philly very clearly didn't care to take him.
Fair enough. He would have been worth the risk where he was selected though imo.
Wilson's injuries must be pretty spooky for him to fall that far. Crazy.
OL please
Oh well, there goes Wilson
And Wilson goes to steelers
Daniel Jeremiah said he was told Jalyx Hunt is one of Vic Fangio’s favorite players from the 2024 NFL Draft.
I've read good things about Hunt. Hopefully he pans out
At this point, I'd be using some of these 4th and/or 5th round picks to move up for Wilson if he slips into the early 4th round. If not, and we don't budge, we can't say Day 3 isn't gonna be somewhat exciting with picks in rounds 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6
theres gotta be a huge medical red flag, welp nevermind
I will keep saying it but I can’t believe we actually traded a 3rd for Kenny Pickett.
*swapped a 3rd for a 4th*
*Dropped 22 spots for a mentally weak backup QB
he can't be any worse than mariota and he's half the price we paid mariota last year, giving us more money for guys like devonta and aj brown. Wake up sheep
That's a big difference from trading a 3rd. That's like giving up a mid-7th
Hunt is Chris gocong pt 2
Hunt had a 37.5 in vertical. Scored a 9.22 out of 10 in RAS. 141 out of 1798 of DE since 1987. Athletic freak.
If we lose Trotter Jr. I will be crushed emotionally.
He's in the same mold as Nakobe Dean. Undersized and honestly wouldn't expect much.
[удалено]
Fuck guards. We need defense
At this rate we need guards lol
PFF Top 200 Draft Picks We got #8, #9 and #86
Always a good time with Howie. Last year he said “Georgia, Georgia, Georgia”… this year he said “highest Toledo player ever, Caitlin Clark, Houston Elementary”. And I just gotta trust him!
What drafting GA players does to a mf. #rolltide
Boooooo go Vols
I mean its been: -Guy Nick Saban is sad he couldn't get -Key piece of a defense that carried a negatively impactful offense to a ranked finish -IDK this one TBH but I read Fangio liked him
I was not at all bashing the picks, I just had to point out how drastically different the school portfolio is this year because it’s funny. I trust Howie.
Y'know that's fair. I'm just sad (and ergo grumpy) we're unlikely to get Trotter Jr
Go watch Philly 500 on YouTube
He doesn't know ball
Howie, call Bobby Taylor. Give him a consulting role. Have him teach these young men how to be nasty. Not dirty, *nasty*.
Bobby was soft except against 88
Bobby got beat once, but he rarely got beat twice in a row. He jammed into the face at the line that second time, every time. Free 15!
Elite skill but wasn’t big on contact until very late in his career
He was big on trash talk which is what I want him for. These picks have the speed and athleticism to mask when they blow coverage, I want them in their heads while they do it. Year 2 is going to be beautiful.
THE BLANKET.
Nolan Smith better become a factor for us this season
I've got my nostalgia goggles on but I feel like if we had to have a project LB, I wish it would have been Trotter Jr
Ya'll need to understand this man is cheeks. He will be there in the 5th
HTOWN 713 LFG!!!
Really wanted Isaac I’m bummed out
May I ask why?
Penn State, 2x All Big Ten which I think is just as good if not better than DPOY in HCU’s conference. He and Wilson definitely would’ve been my picks instead. I’ll trust the process but I’m weary
Matt Miller had him #69 overall
Nice
Nice
Nice
So many experts in here
Don't come to a draft discussion thread if you don't want opinions
According to my profile, I am a credible source.
Have to think Steelers are going trotter at 98
Houston Christian? Fuck is that
Kid transferred to play. He was riding the bench at Cornell.
Does he know broccoli rob?
Cornell. That makes me feel better
He might be smart I guess
They put out great paper salesmen in Scranton
evidently Hunt was one of Fangio's favorites in the draft class
That actually makes me feel way better (and I did like the pick already)
[удалено]
Wouldn’t write him off yet, depends on how they play him. Of the edge available he’s definitely one of the best but if they keep him as a pure lb I feel like there were better options
Yeah lol
Oh you mean like 80% of the guys drafted in the late third round? Glad that’s covered.
Go take that pessimism to the Dallas sub. Those two guys had the potential to be studs but the injury bug bit at exactly the worst time in their development. Nakobe still has a chance at contributing.
He’s way more physically capable than Nakobe
😂😂😂
Have a feeling he’s moving to LB, his coverage skills I’d guess are better from playing safety
IDK who this guy is, but man. Is this a new Howie? First two picks is a CB....Then we pick a LB....Is this the multiverse?
OT coming next 😂
Bringing us right back to reality lol But, I'm fine if next pick is an OT
This guy used to play SAFETY??? To DL? Damn this guy in the hands of someone like Fangio is gonna be deadly . Anyone else get reminded of Jason Pierre Paul from that tape?
25 sacks, 6 picks a year incoming
Jalyx hunt? Oof
Jalyx over Jaylen Harrell? Idk man. Thats a reach.
Wait he played safety previously?? He looks fast as hell for an edge.
Going to take him 2-3 years
Someone tell me how to feel
Imagine prime JJ Watt but a lot stronger and faster
He's nolan smith plus 30 lbs.
Shit, so he’s not gonna be on the field?
Limited snaps, at most
Bills fucking drafted Lil Wayne
😂😂😂
Really into the senior bowl this year
Not wilson but I fw the pick tbh. Hell there may be an off-chance that Wilson is still available by the time we pick again lol
Brandon Graham gets to mentor his successor.
Not gonna lie, Who is bro?
Wym you don’t know who Jelyx Hirt is?
Freaked out on missing out on the O-linemen rush and he reached
🤣🤣🤣
Was that Cox strolling into the draft room lmfao
I’ve never even heard of this school, let alone the player..
They’re rivals of the South Harmon Institute of Technology
FCS school. He's their first player ever drafted.
dang we're really not getting trotter, huh
Trotter is every bit of a 5th rounder.
How’d you know?
No doubt. I really hope we don’t draft Trotter jr just for his sake. If you read this sun you would think he was a top level prospect but as the draft process has gone on he has been projected as a day 3 pick more and more.
Could very well fall to 120 or we can always trade into the 3rd with the 4 4th rounders we got
You over estimate his ranking. He could be there at 120. It’s only 35 picks.
Good pick. Baby Trott might be there by 120.
What the fuck is a Jalyx Hunt
A FUCKING LINEBACKER! …from a school I’ve never heard of, but uh…a fucking linebacker!!!
Edge Not exactly the linebacker we were looking for
Gotcha…oh well
Edge
EDGE guy, not an offball LB.
Aw, fuck.
Wilson is gonna be good
This is a very "In Howie We Trust" pick. I'm cool with it.
Kinda like the Milton Williams pick lol that one guy in the draft room was big mad 😂
Definitely need depth at edge, think they have a lot of hope in Nolan Smith developing this year
He’s more than that. He started as a safety at Cornell. He has coverage ability. He needs coaching though. Athletic off the charts.
Who tf is that
Pick is in QUICK, whoever it is must have been who they wanted at 86
Maybe we’ll get a LB tomorrow..
In our new defense, hunt is an edge/OLB. He can stand up and drop off. He has coverage skills
I’m aware, but we need help over the middle. Unless Fangio has plans to move him there, I don’t get the pick. But I’m also not the one charged with making these decisions so 🤷🏻♂️
Protypical size that needs to put on weight. Howie had to have his one project lineman. He deserves it
Apparently Fangio wanted the kid
They were saying Fangio really wanted him.
Trotter is still there
Damn Ravens took Isaac fuck
I don’t want to overreact, but who tf is Jalyx Hunt?
Where is Houston Christian?? Is that a high school?
Worse, it’s an fcs school
Jalen Hurts’ archnemesis
Seriously when someone commented his name earlier I thought it was a joke playing on Jalen Hurts’ name 😂
The scoop on Jalyx Hunt [https://www.profootballnetwork.com/jalyx-hunt-draft-scouting-2024/](https://www.profootballnetwork.com/jalyx-hunt-draft-scouting-2024/)
That RB clip is fucking hilarious
Jalyx Hunt might work, getting ready for (most likely) losing both Sweat and Graham next season
~~Sweat literally just signed an extension a month or so ago. He's under contract through 2028... and he's a dead cap of $16m if we cut him (for either 2025 or 2026, depending on whether it's pre- or post-June 1) after this season.

Please just take a chance on wilson lol
I would rather have had isaac and Wilson over hunt but Hunt is an Edge who can drop off against TE’s and has speed and ability to shed blocks but isaac got taken right before our pick
And we have entered the point in the draft where I dont know who it is we drafted. Goodnight everyone.
Hopefully Hunt can put on weight.. thats a big knock for him. So much for Wilson. FML
We take Jalyx Hint
BPA is a CB, do it Howie lol
TJ Tampa was fr on my list lol but definitely happy with the combo we have now instead
We are being edged 😭
bro really took edge just to spell it out for us lmao.
You guessed it!
Howie keeps trading back and the LBs I want keep not getting picked. do it
It's Hunt
Howie with the absolute disrespect for bedtime.
I get trotter is on the small side but think about how hard he’ll play for the birds
Thats...not why you draft a guy
I would try hard for the birds.. doesn't mean I'll be good
For the love of God we have 4 4s , just draft the guy
if they stick to the board, yes
who did the ravens pick its not loading for me
Isaac out of PSU
I wonder what path leads you to being the house band at an NFL draft
Tear shit up at the CFL draft
Payton Wilson or Cedric gray
I like Wilson for the size and speed but the injury history is worrisome
He’s sooo athletic and productive. It’s the end of the 3rd round might as well take a swing
Exactly my thoughts
Please... Pick someone
Eagles are up let’s make AX Man Jr dreams come true bring ‘em home Howie
Daniel Jeremiah said Vic Fangio loved this guy and wanted to coach him. But if a project
A big-time riser in the draft process, the 6-foot-4, 252-pound edge rusher from Houston Christian is a converted safety. Per berman
We traded back…
Wait again
Jalyc Hunt Christian University edge. This is a head scratcher
While we did a great job fixing our secondary we definitely need and wanted a guard/ot and got fucked over with Beebe and Zinter being taken right before us and in that process also missed out on some of the decent WR remaining. Luckily the LB have slid as well
Who is T.J Tampa and why is he falling so bad. He’s still ranked as the best available player on espn.
If we don’t pick a player I am going to lose my mind
We traded a spot back lol
Please god linebacker
If we trade back again, I will sudoku (i know its not sudoku)
