"You can't coach 6-5, 240." - Dave Gettleman So let's start with the elephant in the room; DGB's character. He's had multiple run-ins and issues since leaving high school, such as Possession of Weed (2012, 2014) and breaking into his ex-girlfriends house, and although he wasn't arrested. Led to his dismissal from Mizzou. It's easy to see why we would dismiss as someone we'd never draft, especially with Gettleman's equally quotable "Who wants a ticking time bomb?" line, but if you look at what Gettleman likes, and our team needs, and how the league seems to be trending towards bigger, athletic WRs, Green-Beckham at 25 seems increasingly likely. OU's proday just passed, and DGB put on a show. Measuring it at 6'5 and weighing in at 237, he's not too far off from last years pick, Kelvin Benjamin in terms of measurables, but that's where the comparisons end. . Green-Beckham is a natural fluid athlete at WR. Soft hands, good strength, attacks the ball and can catch anything in a certain radius of him.He's also quite speedy and agile for a WR his size, and has ability to be a down-field threat and the ability to get YAC. He was born to be a Wide Receiver, and he has all the tools and skills to be an Elite #1. As I mentioned earlier, bigger bodied, physical WRs are the trend now. Ever since Jeffery/Marshall dominaited the leauge a couple of years back, teams have looked to mimic that (Example: The Bucs), much akin to how a lot of teams tried to copy the two TE sets that NE ran and was unstoppable for a while. Kelvin and Dorial would compliment each other nicely, both towering over most DBs and the ability to make strong, possessive catches that would frustrate OCs. Toss in the fact we have a third reliable big body target in Olsen. Can you imagine three 6'5 receivers? Now there's still a few things to touch on. DGB is no doubt trending up. Will he even be there or will some team chance him before 25? How has he interviews with teams and has he really changed? Or is he still a "Ticking time bomb." You look at a player who was in a much similar situation to DGB in Dez Bryant. Who was suspended for most of the OSU Cowboy's season, blasted with character concerns, and fell all the way to 24, despite having top 5 talent. And needless to say it's worked out for the Cowboys since then, with some minor backfires involving Bryant's attitude, but, despite being very much a risk, he's turned out to be one of the best WRs in the nfl. On the other side of the coin, there's players like Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon, and despite Blackmon not being as obvious as a time bomb as Gordon, both of them have hurt their teams more than helped them with constant suspensions and substance abuse, despite having the talent to be elite WRs. Blackmon was a top 5 pick, and Gordon cost the Browns a 2nd rounder in the supplemental draft. The above one is more concerning for DGB than one would expect. As mentioned, he was arrested for possession of Marijuana twice. And both times it was a large amount. I don't want to low this out of proportion, especially since I have zero problem with recreational weed use, but some players don't know control. What happens if he gets paid and he goes down the Gordon/Blackmon route? But it comes down to talent, and maturity. Prrsonally, I think a lot of his "concerns" are immature, childish mistakes, and he'll grow from them. And as the for the former, DGB has that in spades.

Cam was hurt 80% of the season. We didn't have a consistent o-line that built chemistry til late in the season. Our #2 corner back at the end of the season missed 8 games. Our best pass rusher played hurt a lot of the season, and te other pass rusher missed all but 1 game. We didn't start our #1 CB and our FS til last 5 games. But I mean it's okay let's pretend it was just say it's because we didn't sign some player, yeah?

This thread will go places.

The top three free agent WR cost 10-11mil per year to sign. Why do you think we didn't go after them. Go ahead, I'll wait.

No God no. He's old slow and hurt. He's never been a god WR I've always called him a slightly better LaFell but now even LaFell is better than him. He wouldn't upgrae our offense in anyway. We need a speed WR to compliment Benji.

Alice is literally crying into his pillow made out of twinkles right now the dyansty is over.

Harry Douglas has always been mediocre and and hes going to be 31 this season. he was there before Julio. Theres a reason they drafted Julio.

i'm starting to think you don't know how football works outside of madden

He's a guy I've been hyping up the past few days to myself, almost made a thread on him. He's an okay 3-4 ol who's been solid against the run and Good as a pass rusher, but he's an excellent 4-3 DE who would fill the Hardy void. Color me hype.

with the TE class being kind of Lackluster this year (Though i do like Pharaoh Brown in the 5th-6th) and the FAs being lackluster after anyone who's not the top two or three FAs, I don't mind bringing Dickson back for a two year deal.

holy poo one of our beat writers almost kind of broke news

Kelvin's only going to get better. He'll increase his concentration and he'll be dominant. That being said, let's get him some help.

So uh Where have you heard the Vikings have given up on a third year WR resonable rookie contract? And ha they'd only ask for a 4h Because lmao

i'll take branch and Massaquoi Mass has all the talent in the world just has a serious attitude problem. I'd love to see what Rivera could do with him. Plus if he he pans out could you imagine the salt of the Falcons fans?

lmao a lot of ya'll are like that jealous ex that's mad their ex doesn't want to get back with them after they got out of a breakup. how dare he want to play for anyone other than us for any reason

Super. Can't wait for another domestic abuse thread and all the wonderful responses.

Mmm yeah I'm sure Julio'll give you guys a hometown discount. That'll bode well with what you guys have tied up in Matty Melted Ice

Winston is a great passer, immature but he can grow. I do not want the Bucs to pick him because he's gonna turn that franchise around. They weren't as bad as their record indicates. They only had 4 losses by more than 7 points. And lets not forget we only barely beat them. Twice.

Torrey Smith and Kind Dunlap at reasonable princes would be nice But I'm a dreamer.

oh good now he'll play all 16 games for the Raiders next year

wonder if the raiders still want him

That Ealy pick starting to look brighter and brighter

Ya'll better not give poo to rivera on that fourth and 1. Good call, good execution, brandon tries to run before he secures the ball.

why is munnerlyn still starting ugh

C'mon Steve, gotta catch that man
