Ass backwards thinking.
Put the strongest roster you can assemble around the QB you have. I dont care if he is the second coming of Bart Star or Ryan Leaf in your opinion. You should ALWAYS be putting the strongest roster your budget can afford together.
I had us taking an OT or a Corner in the first. Forbes was not high on my list because I thought the OT was the lock. I also half thought they would take Gonzalez because of name value.
But Im good with the pick
If Gonzales was off the board, the Forbes pick would be rated as an excellent pick. The only downside of the Forbes pick is his weight. Based on production and Talent he was rated as a Day 1 pick.
If dude was this weight AND had a history of injury, I would be concerned. But he missed all of one game since he took over as starter as a freshman, and he left one game due to a hand injury.
Look on the bright side guys. This draft sucked so bad, we are a lock for the #1 overall pick in 2024 and should be able to draft that Franchise QB finally.
Agreed. The Job I have now is alot more hands on and I deal with alot more needy people. So I simply dont have the time to start researching college prospects the moment our season ends as I used to. I may track one or two mocks and see who they are projecting us to take. But hell even that was...
I get being sad that the team didnt take the player they were hoping for in the first round.
But to autoshit on every single pick and proclaim the entire draft a failure is a might childish. Will they all work out? Probably not. But most if not all of these guys were on draft boards for better...
Everyone we drafted this year is considered a good football player.
Folks are pissed because
1. None of them were flash picks or considered the best at their position
2. We passed on Gonzalez to take Forbes
3. We didnt draft a TE which everyone swore we should take in what was considered a...
On the Young/Sweat thing... IM going to remind you guys that a little over a year ago everyone assumed we could never keep Allen and PAyne, especially after they were seen arguing with each other on the side lines. Money and Ego would never let it work.
And yet, we kept both.
Because they didnt need to. They can see how both play this year. If they both ball out, worse case you resign one and franchise the other THEN trade them. Again its not like we have a$50m QB we are paying at the moment. So while most would say there is no way you can keep both, capwise its...
Are either of these guys hands down better than any of the 5 TEs we currently have on the roster?
Picking a guy at a spot because you have a perceived need at that spot is usually a bad idea.
IM not going to write off the staff out of hand.
If the defense is lights out, and the offense is productive, a legit wildcard run might put pause to the whole fire them all and rebuild kick. I know folks have been frustrated with Ron. But no one, repeat no one has been able to overcome Dan...
We took a ball hawk corner, a floater between safety and nickel corner who is a tackle machine. And a center for a line that has had far to many injuries.
IM not going to grade at this point considering that most of us though we were going overkill on the D-line a few drafts back.
I know we...
We are starting what amounts to a redshirt rookie, or a journeyman QB.
Our weakness on defense has been secondary (maybe a little LB).
Get the Defense as close to lock down as possible, take the weight off the red shirt, and see where we go
I have been low key pounding the table for the secondary the past two years. So while i wanted a TE, and still do, I aint going to shit on this pick either.
BUt some where we need a TE, and O-line depth.
Depends. In a perfect world, Young and Sweat have killer years
AND
Howell turns into a Franchise QB.
If All three pan out, then yea decisions will need to be made. But if Chase and Sweat ball out, and we are still looking for a QB, then I say keep them both, Draft the next great maybe and...
