Cedric Still Going In The First?


C47

He is in play at 25 that is for sure :)

 

Yea, I've always thought he was gonna be on our short list if he's there. Other guys I would take over him, but he's a very good player with potential to be a great LT.

Good news. Even if he's not there for us he'll have pushed down another player.

I do like him though, I think the OT class is pretty interesting with about 7 names at about the same level: Collins, Peat, Flowers, Fisher, Humphries, Ogbuehi, Clemmings.

I feel like any one of those guys could be gone at 25, but conversely they could also still be on the board at 57.

I feel that our glaring need on this team is still LT... Anyone feeling Oher or Martin as solutions are kidding themselves internally

I don't think anyone believes they're solutions. We should all agree that they're insurance policies so that we don't have to draft a OT just because we need one.

We've heard from multiple "sources" that there are only 10-15 guys with 1st round grades this year. Does that embolden Gettleman to gamble on a seriously injured player?

 

Was this guy a top 5 pick before his injury?

 

And if we make this pick. Isn't this the sort of risk you want your GM to take? We heard Jerry Jones talk about how to win "you have to take risks" in regards to Johnny Manziel. JM was a dumb risk. Is an injured offensive lineman with high character, high football IQ, and great athleticism a better risk? Could we steal our Franchise tackle at pick 25?

 

Gettleman drated Star when many team shied away from his irregular heart beat. Gettleman went with Benjamin when many questioned his weight and motivation. Gettleman isn't afraid to take his kind of guys. When others see questions marks, Gettleman sees bargains.

With all due respect....Star had is heart issue cleared prior to the draft and it wasn't a knee. Think about Jeff Otah.

I'm not comparing a knee to a heart. I'm comparing Gettleman to other GMs. He wasn't easily scared off by health questions when others were. 

 

Jeff Otah was a different body type with a different personality. If we make the pick I will feel good about it because Gettleman will do his homework on the injury.

    • How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?
    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
