I’ve felt like the writing has been on the wall for McMichael for a while, even in his career year in 24-25 his name consistently appeared as a piece in trade rumors surrounding us.

My impressions about our prospects are essentially entirely based on hype and not observation, so I can’t say anything notable on Gastrin other than he got some generic praise when he was inserted for a couple games in the Bears playoffs a few months back. There was a draft-room video posted after last year’s draft that showed he was one of two guys our front office was targeting with that pick. (The other was a russian that Montreal took a few picks ahead of us.) Everything I’ve heard about him since then has been tempered praise, obviously prospects are unpredictable at this point but I’m sure there’s a reason they felt comfortable using him as an add-in.

I’ll admit I haven’t watched a lot of Kyrou. He had a severe down year last year, but he waived his NTC to come here and at this point it’s hard to question our pro scouting department. If our pro scouts and Carbery think he’ll be brought back to form then I’m pumped.
