If we had every pick in the draft...

I disagree

 

Talent to me is god given so to speak. its just a matter of time before that talent can be coached or developed into performance on the feild. 

 

If I could have the entire 2019 draft but could not have a single draft pick for 5 years, I would do it.

and our team had to be 100% top to bottom rookies...

 

 

would we win the SuperBowl in 2019? 

 

the talent would be there, but thats a lot of young blood. Would we be able to coach them to beat the best? 

probably not

The vast majority of the draft isn't any better than replacement level especially in their first year.  After the fact maybe, but you would still have to go down to 53 players.  Even if there were 53 above average players in the draft you would have to pick the correct ones out of the 200+.

Just look at a few positions.

QB- who would you have picked last year?  Mayfield and Darnold?  Maybe you pick Rosen and Darnold?  Do they beat the Patriots or Rams

RB-Barkley and Michel?  RB is probably the easiest for the first year transition

WR-Riley and Moore, both had good rookie seasons but not really great when compared to the rest of the league.  Especially early in the season.

A lot of these guys played well for rookies and will turn into good players but in their first year they really don't play great compared to experienced players.

Casual fans severely overstate the talent in the draft.  If the players coming in were really that much better the overall talent of the league would grow exponentially over time and that isn't the case.  I'm guessing the 90s Cowboys would compare favorably talent wise with teams of today.  Every year a handful of great players come in the league and a handful of leave.  Same with good players, a few more enter and some leave.  The vast majority are replacement level, just younger and cheaper.

Even if talent was there, experience would not be, so I am a "no".

 

However, it would solve the issue of Rivera making young players wait too long before finding out they are better than the sub-par vet he held on to ahead of them.

Way too many variables. The talent quality for certain years is downright awful, I have no idea if this class is going to be 2011 or 2016. Only one can QB too. Others may never get an opportunity to prove they can play, many may not fit the system but be very good players.

Okay but just go look at the top round and a half of each draft...

I'd say no.  There is plenty of talent in the 2019 draft, although QB is a bit rough. 

My main concern is that it takes time for rookies to actually learn pro schemes on both sides of the ball.  College football schemes are like preschool worksheets compared to a NFL playbook.  A solid, veteran team would beat a team composed of all rookies from the 2019 class.

One caveat:  the team would improve dramatically as the season progressed, but not enough to win a Superb Owl.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
