Jon Snow

It certainly will take it up another level.

I doubt anyone trades for any of our current RB's. Brooks is Sanders replacement in waiting. The only thing that Sanders has left to hope for is to beat out Chubba for a spot.

They decided who was a better scheme fit for them just like the Panthers did. The Bills were going to trade down with someone and Dan wanted his guy. If the Bills had stayed put we would have also. Dan didn't want to risk the Bills trading with someone who was going to take Legette. It's that simple.

RAS scores are fine as long as the tape backs it up. But focusing solely on RAS scores can be misleading.

I doubt it. The first time he drops a pass it will be he's a bum and a bust.

There's your TE.

Which means it will be neither.

I don't think they are going to address it this year.

I picked none of the above just because I'm an asshole and I can.

No. I never get caught up in that stuff. I stopped watching college football years ago. It's more fun just to watch it unfold and see how it is when the season is over. In the end that's all that matters anyway.

Sanders is only here because his contract dictate it. He will get the majority of rotation snaps until they feel Brooks is ready to go full speed. Whenever that is Sanders will be benched unless he shows out this season. Brooks will eventually replace someone. My bet its Sanders and not Blackshear.

Well at this point in time I cannot understand why one would have either position. There's no reason to love or hate the selections. That should be determined after the season.

Well bitching about this draft is premature. No prospect has played a down in the nfl yet and you will not know how any of them will do until they have played a full season or two. It just the way it goes for the majority of draft picks. Most take time to adjust. A few show something right away but that doesn't mean they will stay that way.

I laughed just as I am now. It is what it is. The draft is a crap shoot and no 2 teams boards are the same. None follow the draftniks rankings. So thinking it was good or bad will only show itself after a season or two.

Fitterer was going to trade up sooner for Johnson had Dan not been able to convince him to wait. Fitterer panicked like you said and jumped because the edge run scared him. Fitterer always panicked.

I don't think that is much of a knock other than he may not see action right away. The talent is undeniable so it's all good. We weren't the only team going to take him where he was selected you know. They jumped Dallas, who wanted him badly and the Giants who were going to screw Dallas and take him also. So the concern over the injury was not really a concern after all. I'm good with it.

Double post.

He will play this season. He may be limited the 1st few games but I would almost guarantee you he will see action this season.

How do you figure he will redshirt for a year? All indications are he will be ready for training camp.

These rookies have a lot of learning to do before you can have them taking the majority of the snaps. They will be eased in as the season goes on. If they perform then the snaps will increase.

I think in the end Wallace will be just as good as Wilson. He can contribute in rotation and in special teams this season until he adjusts the the pro game.

Not really. Teams are always looking at upside when they select a player. That's just art of the process. I think the issue is who you think can start right away and who will need more coaching before the can be a full time starter. Some are forced to start out of necessity. Does that mean he is good enough to start on any team or just that the talent is so poor on his current team that he is just the best of a bad group? In our case it is most likely the later. In that situation what do you do? It's hard to judge who is better now but will not be when someone else gets up to speed. That is where the gambling kicks in.

Most rookies will not "start" in their 1st season. They almost always play in a rotation until the get their feet under them and learn all the play calls and responsibilities. It's a process. I know, I hate that term also but it's accurate in this case.
