What if Adams, Fournette, and Thomas are all there at 8? Who is the pick?

What do you think?

Thomas seems like the surest bet as the #2 DE in the draft dropped to 8 you'd have to take him right? Seems very intelligent, really high motor. This would be my choice, the stars just seem to align for getting a really good DE prospect and having Peppers come back, and us having DE veterans galore. 

But Fournette fits almost exactly what the team is looking for in a young power RB to groom behind Stewart and take Pressure of Cam. I'm personally a little dubious of Fournette because he's not very shifty and I don't know if his power game translates to the NFL. I'd be cautiously hopeful if Fournette was the pick. 

However Adams could end up being our very own Eric Berry , in an ideal senario with a DB coach as D-Cordinator now , with another seasoned Adams to mentor him. 

Or do you think something else might happen?

Scary thing is that I think a scenario like this may happen. QBs are going higher than people anticipate there will be trades to grab these guys with Jets, Bills, Browns, Cardinals all wanting one. I trust Gettleman will make the right choice for the franchise because they are all fantastic players. I would say Adams if he's there is the guy. You can still get a good RB and Pass Rusher in round 2. Your not getting a guy like Adams outside the top 10. Fournette would be my second choice. Thomas just does t seem like a Gettleman DE. Gettleman likes big freaks like Taco.

Trading down to get a guy like O.J, or one of the really good RBs would be great for our struggling offense. And we can use extra picks to fill the hole at WR, and add depth at LB and OT. Luke and Oher could be concussed again and we need to have better talent behind them. Should be an amazing draft with such high picks and teams looking to trade up for QBs. So sweet.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      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
