Most overrated propect in the draft.

Yep. For all his athletic talent, he sucks in coverage even as a LB and he's only 200 lbs. I have no idea where you even play him in the NFL. Spending a top 10 pick on someone with that many questions is not smart.

Shaq was always a LB to me. He was 230 coming out and had been a traditional OLB his entire college career save a couple games he filled in at S and RB. That's a little small for a LB but not that far off. The issue with Shaq was where does he play for the Panthers that gets him on the field more than 30% of the defensive snaps with Luke and TD on the team.

Peppers is 200 and has moved around a bunch. He's more similar to Jeremy Cash than Shaq. Peppers is undersized for a SS and doesn't cover well. He is way too small to be an every down LB in the NFL and that's where his skill set puts him.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
