Re-picking the drafts of the past 3 years... Who's still here, who is replaced? A Bye week reflection...

I would be interesting to see what Michael Thomas would be like on a different team/system. I wasn’t a fan of his in college so I would’ve completely overlooked him during the draft as well. I probably would’ve gone Derrick Henry

 

hes in a perfect situation with Drew Brees.

I think moton needs to be moved to LT next year IF we resign Williams. 

Yep.

Not saying it’s easy but it’s easier to find a right tackle over a left tackle. So I’d for sure move Moton to LT next year and literally tell him it’s his for the foreseeable future.

I'm worried about Daryl's leg moving forward tbqh.

I think so too. I’m not saying he wouldn’t produce at all elsewhere but his numbers definitely would take a hit. Doubt he goes out and grabs 16? balls in a week on any other team

Dudes a beast. Drew obviously helps everyones numbers, imo, but Thomas has some of the best hands I've ever seen, and is an absolutely fantastic route runner.

Yeah, I’m definitely not saying he’d be a nobody or anything like that I’m just saying his numbers would obviously take a hit. I would just be interested to see by how much.

The combination of Barnett and Kamara in Rounds 1 and 2 is greater than CMC.

I was also extremely impressed and encouraged with CMC as anyone with a pulse is after last week, just saying.

Cohen was certainly drafted. In the fourth round, no less...

Yes, it was awesome to get CMC, but if we'd have gotten another guy I listed in addition, it would have been cool.

wow. good call out. I don't know how I came away with that.

I think, so far, this year is about the only year they're a bit inflated. I don't think previous years are far off from what he could do in other offenses. 

If you've got time, should turn on some tape. I don't know how much football people watch outside of their own team, but I watch a lot and enjoy watching quality football. Thomas plays WR in a way that just makes you want to be a fan. Dudes a dog. He's got some Smitty in him.

During a time where it’s becoming extremely difficult to find a tackle (due to defensive ends becoming more and more freakishly athletic) it’s amazing this dude has been able to play both RT and LT this season and look more than good. 

I’d really like to see us stop jerking him around all over the place and let him settle in at a spot and own it.

He had his faults but man was DG a genie with OL in the draft... Williams, Moton, Turner and Norwell as UDFA. Yeah Kugzila was a bust but hardly DG’s fault the guy never got a chance due to injuries.

He’s a better Colston basically

I'll admit I watch all teams and visit many teams reddit boards. Michael is a surgical receiver. I respect him quite a bit. I wouldn't compare him to Steve Smith as much as I would compare him to Reggie Wayne or Tory Holt. The guy just knows how to put corners on their heels and dig in the soft spots of zones.

I don't see a lot of Colston in his game. I think a fair comparison is Fitz.

Wasn't saying he's Smitty style wise. Attitude wise.

You left out Carl Lawson as a could have had. Would have been available with both the original 3rd and 4ths we used to move up to get Daeshon Hall.
