How Would You Feel About John Ross at #8?

I love Ross but not at #8 when Fournette is there. Damiere Byrd is similar in height/weight and ran a 4.28 so the answer is maybe on the roster already. Maybe.

 

Don't know how you can compare the two. Byrd is a scrub. Never accomplished anything on the football field.

Al Davis used to spend his 1st round pick on the fastest WR every year and look where that got him.  Dead!  I don't want Big Cat to kick the bucket any time soon.


The difference between Ross and a guy like Heyward-Bey is Ross was actually productive in college. He isn't just an athlete, he can run routes and has decent hands. If he didn't have the injury history he would probably be a top 5 player. But unfortunately the history is there so I don't think it's a great idea to take him any pick higher than 20.

Wow this site will fall for every new shiney nickle they see..

I'm just going to say no no no no no!!

He is a slot WR ..

No matter what your imagination can come up with.. In this league he is a slot WR.. He's small with durability issues.. Just like DJax, Tavon Austin and other small speed demons have found out... You can't outrun everybody and sooner later you will take a big hit.. No slot WR is worth a top 8 pick especially in this draft..

 

People do a exercise .. Look at the top slot WR's in the and see where they were drafted please before posting on this topic...

Wes welker, Julian Eldelmen, Cruz, Tyreek Hill..

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
