Good assessment, its going to be a tough decison to chose between him & Fournette.

However if there was an Unproportional god magic scenario to nab Fournette & Howard in this year's draft , it would set this franchise up on offense for decade with Cam.

It wouldn't be that much of a miracle . If thr jags and jets don't pick up fournette then we will , baring Myles Garrett or one of the safteys dropping . I could see the jags getting S.Thomas , and the Jets picking up lattimore . 

After that it's just a matter of trading enough picks to get back into the mid or late first to grab Howard  . We might only have our 4th 5th 6th left after trading up to get him though.

Boooooo..

Please stop trying to figure ways of us losing picks in a deep draft..

Ppl we can stay at our picks and get more than 1 or 2 good players..

Desean Jackson is a bit under 5'10" and was 169lbs at the combine. He is now listed at 175lbs

John Ross is 5'11" and weighed in at 188lbs

What else ya got?

 

DeSean Jackson produced all 3 years he was at Cal. Ross only had one good season. He's a huge risk in the first round.

I understand not having the foresight when Greg Olsen was drafted to put him in the upper echelon of tight ends, but how in the holy fuging fug can you write an article with the benefit of hindsight when discussing revolutionary tight ends and not drop Greg Olsen's name? Jordan Reed and Travis Kelce are you kidding me?

From back in January fwiw:

“Obviously the Alabama kid is interesting,” Gettleman said. “The O.J. Howard kid. You know, two years ago against Clemson, he had 3,000 yards receiving on two catches. He hasn’t disappointed. He’s got the strike zone to die for.”

 

“You know, again, I think at the end of the day, we’re going to go with the best player around at No. 8. And there’s going to obviously be a lot of options."

I wouldn't be mad.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
