And yet we're already making comparisons to a 1,500-yard rusher?

;)

if we can do one we can do the other.

i like the kid but he's got a lot of growing to do. a whole lot more than williams did when he started. the kid has a lot of talent but he has some serious maturity issues.

williams was far more polished when he got here.

give goodson some real game experience and a year or two and maybe. right now he just has a lot of potential and a lot of talent. that doesn't very often translate into success.

How do you get that he has a lot of growing up to do, or that hes immature? Because of that one half assed throat slash?

that was an indicator of some of it and there is some other stuff. he had problems in college and also the way he responds to screwing up. the captain is going through some of the same things. long memory and beating himself up about it.

it's no real slight on him. he's only 22. some 22 year olds are mature beyond their age and others aren't. some take longer to mature. he falls into that category. doesn't mean he will stay that way.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
