So for Hooker I'd say potential teams in the 2nd tonight are: Lions at 34, Seahawks at 37, Falcons at 44, Patriots at 46, Commanders at 47, & Tampa Bay at 50.

Tampa Bay I think is the team with the biggest need, but they may hold off and just grab a backup option later in the draft or simply wait until next year's draft to address QB of the future (could be a better QB class next year).

Teams that could go WR and snag Hyatt or Tillman are: Arizona at 33, Colts at 35, Raiders at 38, Panthers at 39, Saints at 40, Titans at 41, Falcons at 44, Lions (3 picks in this round), Steelers (2 picks in this round), Packers (2 picks in this round)

Tampa Bay could take Levis…they are used to dealing with weird ass QBs…😂

I don't like Kentucky. I was there when they beat us by 30+ in Neyland. I hate everything about them. I was also there for Halloween when we destroyed them. It was great. However, it makes me uncomfortable to watch a propect sit at an invitation only event while everyone mocks him as he falls pick after pick losing millions of dollars. Those things aren't mutually exclusive and some people are jerks. He's still human and 23. As if you would ever even be able to sniff the jock strap of someone in the NFL.

Yeah, at first it was like we told you so. Then by the end of the first it turned into get the camera off of him.

Typically i would agree with you.....But not in this case. Its not our fault he has had zero humility. That was two huge differences in the QBs from last night. Richardson and Levis have completely different makeup. AR is at least humble and willing to listen/learn. Levis has showed nothing but arrogance. I mean these teams met with them so the answer is right there in front of you on how those front offices feel about him too. Apparently they feel like we do.

Then there’s this.

Honestly I probably would too, but I wouldn't in the 2nd round.

I think Hooker is the last QB that is worth a 2nd round the others I'd wait it out and just take best available QB at that point. Not a ton of depth at QB...but ya never know.

Guys like Aidan O'Connell, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Max Duggan, or even Jaren Hall could be late round sleepers and may be better value than reaching on Bennett (who NFL.com has as a Round 6 grade) in the second.

Max Duggan is at least a gamer.
Stetson Bennett is obviously better than Levis.

If either isn’t drafted before Levis…a GM should be fired.

Well Ill answer this in steps….

Contra the Vols
1. I attended every single home Wade Houston 5 win season in basketball
2. I was at a UT baseball game the day of the blizzard
3. I have had season tickets to football since 1990…. I drive 4-5 hours to every home game…. Sometimes I drive back right after the games(stopping at rest stops to take a quick nap to make it)
4. I donate money to UT(not a big donor)
5. I was at almost all the Todd Raleigh baseball games…. Now I can’t get tickets when I’m in town( don’t remember all those people being there during the bad times.)

My opinions are strictly my own…. I don’t follow the crowd and definitely don’t follow what espn has to say…. I’m also not a cheerleader …. I love the draft and have followed it religiously for years…. It wasn’t a crazy idea that Will would go in the first round( I would not have taken him bc I think he sucks)…. I also will find it hilarious if he keeps dropping or gets taken by the Titans.

As for Tennessee players:
Would loved for my team to take Wright although Broderick fits more what we need.
I don’t want them to take the rest bc I want them drafted higher than where my team will probably look to draft them… Our offensive guys have to prove they can be good nfl players bc of the system we run…. I’m hoping that they become pro bowl players.

Wait a minute… If you did #1-5 then you’re definitely a cheerleader 📣.

I largely agree. However I think the issue lies with media both for creating the narrative he was the golden boy and then for constantly displaying his anguish. Random posters on here make no difference.

Northern mosquitoes are big and slow. You can see them approaching and crush them before they ever land. Don’t go out after sunset though…most st of the mosquito repellents are actually tested on the Northern mosquitoes. The Southern mosquito is a different breed…

The Norther mosquitoes don’t carry the viruses that the Southern mosquitos carry either…so it’s just an annoying bug bite.

Interesting tidbit about North American mosquitoes, they are mostly attracted to type O blood type. Least attracted to type AB.
AO and BO blood types attract more than AA or BB too.

I’m AB+ and rarely have to use mosquito repellent.

Southern hemisphere mosquitoes love AB and less O type. When my wife and I went to Australia, I got eaten alive by mosquitoes and she went untouched. Thankfully I live in the Northern Hemisphere. I literally have seen mosquitoes fly by me to get to her here. They flew by her to get to me in Australia. 😂

Here are the east coast we have these little bastards called "greenheads." They're like a large sheep/deer fly or small horsefly. Live in and around the seaside marshes.

The draw blood, and it hurts like a mofo.

They're also selective. Wife and I walking a trail and I'm getting absolutely bombarded and assaulted. She's untouched. Holding hands, interlocked fingers, got me on the finger and didn't bite her.

They know.

Do you know your blood type? Your wife’s blood type? Just curious if it’s similar to mosquitoes.

In Tennessee and Texas, horseflies are my bane. I have seen them fly by horses to get to me. There’s also something in their bite that I am allergic to. It will blow up and itch for days. I kill them on site. No repellents work on them either.

My wife is allergic to wasps, hornets and yellow jackets. I freak my family and friends out because I kill them with my hands. It’s just a little sting for me, but a week of misery for my wife. (And as everyone knows if your wife is miserable, then so are you 😇).

I’m O blood type in Tennessee, and suddenly in the last 3 or 4 years they love me and takes forever for the appearance of the bites to go away. What’s your theory on that?

I start to think all of the game watching especially in the SEC; against future pros is actually what is scouted for teams moving forward. At least Richardson had games that were productive and they realize the talent is there but the coaching was not. Other than certain factors that happened to Tunsil, Jalen Carter etc.... the SEC really does get you ready for the NFL

They must be thinking if they can get him away from Sunbelt Billy, they can make something of him.
