  1. They all have to learn the system and adjust the the speed of the game. So yes some adjust faster than others. Some are forced to start and learn on the fly. It comes down to whether your team needs them to start because everyone else at the position is ass and the rookie is the best of the bunch. See Carolina Panthers.
  2. My knock is not so much who they took as it is how they went into the draft. They had decided the 1st 2 picks before the draft even started. That just erks me to be that focused on the player and not the position available after the pool has thinned out a little. Maybe I'm being to critical with this. I cannot seem to separate my professional mindset from the football fan.
  3. My favorite thing about him is he can catch. He has great hands.
  4. It really does matter where a rookie qb ends up.
  5. Picking qbs come down to luck, coaching and system they start off in as rookies.
  6. Grades are subjective at best. Anyone can slap a grade on it, even me. Is it accurate? Hell no. It won't be official for a couple of seasons.
  7. I knew all mocks would be blown up by the 5th or 6th pick. It happens every year. There were a lot of reaching for qb's. I think a few teams panicked and just starting grabbing a qb just to get one. I seriously doubt more than 1 or 2 will still be in the league in 3 years.
  8. I heard that on draft night. Lots of teams wanted into the bottom of the 1st. I suspect a few were after a receiver.
  9. I'm pretty much they have that on locked down. The question is will they relinquish the title to someone else?
  10. I'm not sure why the Bills kept trading down. They traded down with the Chiefs of all teams so they could take the receiver they want. The Bills were looking for picks and were open for business in the 1st.
  11. I think it's a push. I do not know enough about Joey to know if he is better than Luvu but the stats are about the same I think. Clowney is better than Burns.
  12. I think he will get all the time he needs to prove he is or is not going to be the future. His contract allows for that. The deciding factor will be how much will the team need to see before that decision is made. Another words, when is enough, enough for Dave and Dan? This we shall see.
  13. They are all developmental prospects. None of them are nfl ready. It's just that some take longer than others to get ready.
  14. The 5th year option wasn't even considered. I don't care what Dan says. They traded up because they got wind someone was interested in Legette. Whether that interest was real or made up is unknown.
  15. I wasn't in the war room and they didn't broadcast it so I could glean some insights there so I cannot say really. But they already knew who they were taking before round 1 even started much less came to an end. How do you do that if you don't even know your guy will be there? I think there were phone calls made before the draft even started on day 1.
  16. Strangely enough I think the Wallace pick was the right call.
  17. No hill or dieing here. If you must have a grade then it's D. They got too focused on "their guys" and didn't take whatever position fell to them. The only reason it's not an F is they managed to get a 2nd next year. There's a grade for you.
  18. That is based solely on emotion and perceived value. That is just too subjective. No opinion can be valid or invalid until the guys play a year or two.
  19. It's still too soon to tell. I mean we had needs everywhere. They addressed a few of them. How well depends on how these guys play and how good the coaching and scheme is. You saw what happened last year. The coaching and scheme were completely FUBAR. How do you judge a draft by that?
  20. Report card comes at the end of the season.
