Don't be. Gentleman doesn't ever draft for need. BPA all day every day.

 

And believe it or not, corner is one of our biggest needs, even if we sign Josh to a deal.

 

I'm not hot on Jackson yet, but I love him a lot. Fwiw, I felt the same way about Shaq last year.

 

Pros is he'd fit us like a damn glove. Zone cover DB who plays loose and has very good movement in his hips. Ball hawk who often makes plays on the ball. And he's very fast with good size.

 

Cons are Jesus this man cannot tackle. He plays very undisciplined trying to tackle and often bounces off of people. Can get out physicaled at the top of routes at times. Not sure he'd be ready to start anytime soon.

 

I actually think Gettleman does draft a lot for need. 

2015: Needs were WR, OL, RB, Special Teams: We drafted Funch, D. Williams, CAP, Mayo. The Shaq pick was his planning for the future pick. He always seems to have those type of picks as well. Traded up for Funch and Williams to get their need.

2014: Needs were WR, OL, DL, CB: Picks were KB, Ealy, Turner, Boston, Bene. Our pick for the future was Ealy bc at that time we franchised Hardy and I think we were renting him. Traded up for Bene to get a need. 

2013: Needs were DT, OL, CB: Picks were Star, KK, Kugbila, Klein. 

So I do feel like he does BPA but he might trade up to get his guy as BPA. So if we "need" a DL, OL and CB after free agency. I highly believe we will get one of each.

Yes, I think Gettleman has shown a mix of drafting "pure" BPA, as well as a kind of BPA-needs based hybrid.

If our holes & needs are pretty well-filled through free agency & re-signing our own players, then I see the possibility of Gettleman trading up in the 2nd for someone he really likes, even if that might mean we end up with a draft class of only 4 players.

It's hard to really gauge Gettleman in FA yet because this is the first year we actually have cap space. I am really interested to see the FA signings this year because it will really tell us a lot about how he will run this team. 

I also think he isn't afraid to trade draft picks for guys he likes but I don't see him as a guy to trade many high or mid round future picks

Jackson III may very well be worth our 1st round selection. Dude looks legit. I've been reading Alexander might fall to the 3rd. I'd be willing to trade up in the 2nd for Kendall Fuller if available. The future with Norman in Carolina looks bleak.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
