Tiny -- Bad Knees; Piss Poor Pass Protection

 

Hurst -- I don't know but every team has avoided him too.

 

Get over it. Obviously something is up with those two.

 

You just gave me one counter argument. Tiny i understand, but i would gladly take a 6th round flyer on Hurst or Leno. You don't have to like my opinions, so you get over it.

Y'all, it will all be okay. We probably just picked the player with the lowest bust potential out of everyone available. Stewart's ankles are glass, Williams is as old as the dirt he is running on, Tolbert is technically a FB and not every down, and Barner shows potential but will never be every down unless he seriously bulks up. This is a win.

As opposed to an UDFA that has been nothing but terrible and an UDFA converted DT now competing for a starting spot at LT?

Because a 6th round rookie in free fall down draft boards is definitely doing to do better his rookie year.

Would people really be devastated if Barner didnt make the team

The guy literally ran into his linemen every time he touched the ball last year

 

It isn't really about the player for me. It's about using our 6th in back-to-back years on the same crowded position. Doubtful we carry them all...thus one of them (Barner most likely) gets cut and the pick is wasted when other positions of need are starring us in the face.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
