How is his injury history? Sounds like a good player but he is readily available to play? Worry about his small frame and light weight for longevity

Not all of them.

I'm already sold on Legette but know him personally and had all too many interactions with him the past couple years because I'm biased and love the dude as a human being. He is going to be something special at the next level I can feel it. The person inside he is and the hungry to be the best he can be humble good guy is going to transfer well to being extremely coachable and able to develop as he goes. Not to mention an insanely great work ethic and maturity level not often seen in college. This guy is a total package and will amount to a great player for whoever is smart enough to take him.

I don't want to move out of this position for much of anything unless the haul we would get would be so amazing that it was a no brainer. We have a chance to acquire a very solid start with pick 33 and I would prefer us keeping it and selecting someone with it.

Can't blame him, he has all the makings of a very good receiver at the next level.

He is tough for sure but I'm willing to bet has a history of that toughness in college and barely missed either. I feel like that's an outlier for a smaller guy though. I just want our top pick this year to be maximized and not be a TMJ bust but become a solid player who isn't injury prone.

I would prefer someone not made of glass and also someone who isn't super thin and tiny who will be injury prone and easily breakable in the pros. I realize size isn't everything in the NFL but to play safe the guy who only weighs about 165 pounds that suddenly became in the talks I would throw him out immediately. Steve Smith was undersized supposedly but he was still like 185-190 pounds. Huge difference.

I think he will turn out quite well and be a total undiscovered gem. It will take some time but I am confident he is going to prove it.

Good point, agreed

No way Travis Kelce is the GOAT TE. He is definitely a great player but I dont see how he can be a Tony Gonzales or a Shannon Sharpe.

What he said exactly except he said it much better than I could have. Totally agree with you.

I believe he could separate but he doesn't have the "dawg" in him or desire to put some work in to improve. He has serious tools but something is so odd with him.

I feel like his issues are mental. I don't think he has the mindset for the NFL and is probably somewhat of a baby brat. I could be wrong but he shows many characteristics of it. His physical talents made him great in high school and college playing at a top school alongside top talent but in the pros it takes that AND MORE. It takes the mindset as well. Those who have only physical talent and no mindset usually aren't successful long terms in the pros. They may be good for a season or get hopes up but they seem to fizzle fast. TMJ has not even shined for a season unfortunately. It HAS to be his mindset I believe. His mindset would probably make him study his playbook harder or make him desire to be the best or push him to be a "dawg" but I have a feeling it's not there. What he needs is a good mentor to tell him what he is doing wrong in his mind and he needs a good position coach or head coach to jump all over his ass and work on that mind. Or even a sport psychologist perhaps? It's easier for a coach to just cut a player like that because they can't spend so much time on just one. His has immense physical potential but I believe simply lacks a mindset for this all which holds him back completely as a player in the NFL. A change of scenery will not fix this as his mindset would more than likely follow him to a new team yielding the same less than mediocre results his career has been so far. Only he can see an issue there and truly seek help to alter his mind if that's what it is and if he doesn't see a problem or even believe that's what it is then why would anything ever change from him? If it's mindset he will not magically get better one season unless he has worked on it intensely. That guy alters his mindset and watch how successful he becomes if my theory is correct. Question is would he even realize and come to terms with the true issue? Some do but many never will unfortunately.

Some on here get mad if every last player we sign is not an all pro. I guess they think rosters are made up of mostly all pros and future hall of famers....?

I hope we draft him because I like him and he is a good guy but also to enjoy reading all the posts bitching about drafting him on here. Its a win/win for me if they draft him.

They just don't get that or apparently can't grasp that unfortunately. Let's see what Mingo does with actual coaching is my opinion.

Lol, so if anybody is interested in drafting a late round QB they are whatever your version of a "free timer" is apparently. You make absolutely no sense at all. Because a late round QB has never worked out for us yet, that means we should never ever try again? Oh okay, another brilliant statement! You must be one busy important man. Please don't pay any mind to us "free timers".

Before he tries to control some situation where he insists he gets hired on as head coach to some team that drafts his son shouldn't Deon turn around Colorado first and make them into contenders in order to have the right to demand what we all know is coming?

Of course they aren't right now but some of the comments on here act like every signing is supposed to be an all pro or they get pissed. I don't get what they expect?

People on here bitching about signing him must think we are only supposed to sign all pros and future hall of famers. You actually need depth and guys to fill out the roster. Those guys can't all be first ballot hall of famers by the way.

If you're looking for someone we turn the team over to if Bryce ends up a bust or gets injured wouldn't you rather it be a young guy we get in the draft late round just to see if he can catch lightning in a bottle? I understand a vet who is considered a first round bust for a backup but at that point the whole season is a wash anyhow so why not a young draft pick late rounder to see if we could make him the starter? I think Dalton is fine as a backup and looked so/so okay last season in his one outing but we could draft a late round QB and have him waiting in the wings to take over if Bryce doesn't pan out or gets hurt and perhaps find someone worth at least being a long term backup or better, a hidden gem.

You are probably right and he wont even be there day 3 to have that choice to consider unfortunately.

How do we know Andy Dalton is washed?

What about Spencer Rattler? There is some potential there with him being in a bad team last year with zero protection.

I care. A day three QB is a good idea to not lose much in the gamble and have a small chance of finding a diamond in the rough. It's worth trying especially with a late pick. How is this post such a "bad topic"?
