DG going to get cute in the draft?


Recommended Posts

I think it is more likely that we use a 4th or 5th to move up in the second with one of the 2 picks we have there.

If a great player that we have graded as a first rounder drops out of the round and is sitting there at pick 50 or so, then we might move from the bottom of round 2 up to 50 to get him

I find this more tangible than using both 2nds to get back into the first, at least at the moment

Said this in another post earlier today;

I don't like how Gettleman has made a new normal of trading up to grab a player. The cost is to high, especially in such a deep draft class as this one. We traded up for Williams, Benwikere and Funchess, and so far these trades has not been very successful. We also traded for Worley who showed some promise last season, but too early to tell. Gettleman has now orchestrated four drafts for...

We'll have to see what happens. There's always some unexpected things that happen every draft. Maybe a Corey Davis or Derek Barnett or O.J. Howard slip into the mid-20s. Still opposed to using both of those 2nds to go get one of those guys?

I wouldn't mind that as much as I would trading the 8, 2nd round, and more to move to 3.    But how about he sits back and not get all anxious this one time in a deep draft.

Bene and Williams were 5th round picks. For 5th rounders I'd call those good picks. Not gonna find many Josh Norman's in the 5th round. We got some good play out of Bene before he shattered his leg and Williams is probably penciled in to start at RT.

The only one of those trades I have a problem with is the move to get Funchess and I didn't like it at the time either.

Moving to #3 is probably out of the question. That would almost certainly have to involve next year's 1st and that's not going to happen. I don't see us moving up from #8. It's very costly to move up at the top of the draft.

We traded up to the top of the 3rd to get Williams

I'm already satisfied with the squad we've got going into the year.

If we manage to get an impact player in the first and solid contributors after that... well hot damn.

No i disagree,, I would like to have some young talent for the future..

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
