I'm Ok with it too.  We didn't get lucky like last year and have a STAR fall into our lap.  There's a lot of talk about Lee being the better pick.  Maybe so but his numbers were down last year along with injuries.  The knock on KB is that he is raw and tries to run before the catch, hence the drops.  So, would you rather have raw with huge upside, or a WR with injuries and unknowns as to why his production was off.  I am OK with Raw. 

 

What I do like about KB is that he seems to rise-up in clutch moments  That's an intangible we sorely need.  He won't be able to bully DBs in the pros like he did in college but give the kid some coaching and he could be special.

The more I think about this pick, the more I love it and a lot of it has to do with Gettleman. At first I was surprised due to the critiques out there regarding how raw he is and how Gettleman spoke of getting a guy who can run good routes. However I forgot for a moment just how much Gettleman loves size and if we look around the league, big WRs are dominating the game. KB gives Cam a big target and as we've seen, although he's improved, Cam is still erratic on some of his throws from time to time. If Gettleman likes him, then I like him. 

 

Can't wait for tonight.

More similar to a Ramses Barden imo. Tall long guy with poor-average vert and questionable speed. 

 

You're wrong. Ramses Barden has hall of fame level physical abilities and talent.

 

 

Oh wait...I forgot it was just our defense a few years back that made him look that way.

Personally I was hoping we could snag one of the OT's so I can stop seeing Bell in my nightmares, but I'm ok with the pick. Proehl will finally have someone to work with who actually has a high ceiling... am excited to see the finished product.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
