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.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
