Who has the highest ceiling?

Out of all the guys that will/might be around at #28 who do you think has the highest ceiling? Personally I think it's Benjamin or Kouandjio. I'm really interested to see what you guys think.

In addition to yours, Marqise Lee.  It wouldn't shock me if he ends up the second best WR in the class behind Watkins.  His game speed is really impressive. It looks like he just glides by guys, so smooth. Want him badly at 28.

 

I agree.

 

I got in an argument with Promethian last year at this time saying Lee falling to us (assuming we picked 10-20th) was probably not going to happen, but possible.

He said there was no chance in hell, so imagine if we get him at 28.

Bridgewater, if he falls that far.  It's still amazing to me that he's plummeting because of a pro day. 

 

I'm honestly not sure that it's because of his pro day.  I'm not sure if he was ever as high on scout's radars as he was on the media's.  The media just saw the eye popping stats while the scouts were likely looking at his mechanics and arm strength.  They're trying to decipher what part of his game and how his physical tools translate to the NFL level and I'm not sure they ever saw an elite NFL QB prospect in Bridgewater.  That's not to say he won't become a successful NFL QB, it's just saying that he's not your prototypical NFL 1st round QB.

I prefer highest ceiling w little bust potential! We don't have the ability to gamble right now! Hate to say it, but we need the safe picks. Look at 2008 to 2011 drafts. We are waaaaaayyyyyy behind and have used up enough bad picks for this decade! Got to start getting them right!

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
