Just a week away...1st Round predictions in here


davos

Recommended Posts

The draft is nigh and things should be interesting come round 1.  Lot's of speculation on the DL class, cheetos, WRs rising, OTs falling, etc. so was wondering what everyone's bold predictions are...(try to include at least 1 trade prediction and 1 surprise pic)

 

My batshit unrealistic predictions:

 

-Mariota goes #1

-Dolphins trade up ahead of ATL to grab Gurley

-The Redskins grab Winston

-Less than 3 OTs are taken before our pick

-Agholor goes way early to the Chiefs

 

..and the Panthers select: Andrus Peat (or) Landon Collins

 

What do you got?

I would love to see Mariota go #1 just to see the circus that would ensue :lol:

- I think QBs go 1-2 in the draft.

- Biggest reach: Breshad Perriman goes to Browns, Saints or 49ers.

- Biggest slide: Shane Ray to the 2nd round.

 

I think the Panthers will be stuck with a tough decision to make between the following:

 

- Melvin Gordon

- Andrus Peat

- Jake Fisher

- Nelson Agholor

- Landon Collins

- DJ Humphries

- Owa Odighizuwa

Just when the little bell goes off signaling that the Bucs have made their selection and whomever is walking out to announce it...the screen goes dead...a meteor has hit Chicago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(on a happy note, everyone is fine and the meteor just took out the satellite feed)

 

 

...and the Browns take Ryan Leaf.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
