re: Zion still a centerpiece?

Posted by Tigerjim09 on 5/21/26 at 4:11 pm to
He’s not a centerpiece on a championship team. However, if he is really working on his jumper like his workout videos suggest then he could be a good 2. Imo the only chance this version of the pelicans has at being a contender is Fears developing into a true superstar.

Mosley has a .461 career winning percentage.

Yeah he took over a 21 win team in Orlando. You don’t go from 21 wins to a playoff caliber team over night. The last 3 seasons his winning percentage is .540. Say what you want, but taking over a team with 21 wins and making them that competitive is impressive. Willie Green, who you all compare him to, would never have been able to do that
The people acting like Mosley is Willie Green are insane. His teams consistently got better year over year, and they were up huge on the number 1 seed Pistons at half in game 7 before going ice cold and setting a record for consecutively missed shots. The dude is a good coach. He will be the best coach we’ve had in at least a decade
I wish Hetzel had been on teams that were more competitive in the past, but I don’t hate us taking the upside swing with him. I would much rather him then Ham or Borrego

Are we on board to trade Herb for pick 11?

I would be, I think we should cash in on his value. I was pretty disappointed in Herb last year and we could start to build a good young core if you hit on a pick at 11.

re: 8th pick

So we indirectly traded this years 5th pick and 8th pick for Queen? Obviously still horrible, but not nearly as bad as it could have turned out
Auburn is not in the Big Six lol. They haven't won more than 6 games in football since before Covid
A lot of good defensive talent left on the board, makes the Tyson pick look even better. Any of those 3 you listed would be great adds to the secondary. Kaden mcdonald could potentially help a lot with addressing our issues against the run. Quite a few intriguing pass rushers left on the board as well. There are really a lot of ways they could go

re: Who do you want at 42?

I personally want R Mason Thomas. Position of need, good fit in the defense as a speed rusher, and good production in the SEC.
I would’ve been okay moving up for Love if we hadn’t just signed Etienne. Doesn’t make much sense to invest $50 million, the number 8 pick, and a second round pick all into the running back position in one offseason. That said, I think Love will be awesome so while I’d be upset about what we gave up I’d be excited about the player
I think he just wanted to give Tyson to the Chiefs lol
Bain is pretty much the only guy we could pick who I wouldn’t be happy about. He's a pass rusher without elite explosiveness, with suboptimal measurements, and who won the vast majority of his reps in college with pure power. Imo of all the guys we could possibly pick at 8 he easily has the highest likelihood to bust.
I also don’t see the world where he is a star. I think he could be a very strong run defender who gives you decent pass rushing upside, but never a guy who is truly going to be one of the premier edge rushers in football. I feel like there are so many better ways to go at 8
Don’t get how Tyson winning before the catch is somehow a knock. Who cares if Olave and Tyson both win before the catch? If they are each creating a lot of space and getting open then that will be a lot of easy completions for Shough, and will put a lot of stress on defenses.

I said he’s Justin Jefferson 2.0 months ago on here. People didn’t wanna hear it. Now look at him and the hype he’s getting

I have a tough time saying that anyone is going to be the next Justin Jefferson, but when I watched him play that was exactly my first thought as well. The smoothness and creativity of his routes really does look a lot like Jefferson.
Tyson Route Running
Depends on the price I guess, but I’m assuming it would at least be a 2nd round pick. I’d rather have Tyson and a 2nd than any of those guys in the top 7 in your scenario.
I’d be a big fan of any of those picks so I hope this turns out to be true
I don’t get why people dislike this pick so much. I understand the injury concerns, but imo Tyson is the only receiver in this draft with true superstar potential. I think Tate and Lemon will both be very good pros, but Tyson’s ceiling is easily the highest. Injuries are not nearly as predictable as some of you think they are, and if they are comfortable with his physical I would have zero issue taking him at 8.

re: How good is Ohtani?

Posted by Tigerjim09 on 4/11/26 at 6:00 pm to
It depends on how you define being the greatest player of all time. In my opinion being the greatest is about your accomplishments relative to your era. The best player is just how good of a player you actually are. In my opinion Ohtani is the best player of all time, but probably not the greatest of all time at this point in his career.
I agree with you, although I want a receiver I would prefer Downs over Delane. Downs is going to be a great player
Delane would be a fine pick, but I think we should go receiver and disagree about Tate. A 4.53 is not a slow time, and he doesn't look slow on his tape at all so I am really not concerned about it. Here are some other notable wide receiver 40 times:
JSN - 4.52
Puka Nacua - 4.57
Ceedee Lamb - 4.50
AJ Brown - 4.49
Mike Evans - 4.53
Davante Adams - 4.56
Cooper Kupp - 4.62
Amon Ra St. Brown - 4.61

A 4.53 forty is plenty fast enough play receiver in the NFL. Adding a player the caliber of Tate would make this offense a whole lot more dangerous, and would make Shough's life a lot easier.

If we trade up it better be for Reese or Bailey.

Reese sure, but I really hope we don’t trade up for Bailey.
