These are the best picks of our entire draft.

 

Jordan Scarlett is already showing Kamara like abilities with those Bills bouncing off of him like bad checks. 

 

This guy is a dog! He pushed a dragged the pile for extra yards. 

Jordan Scarlett bandwagon is here and I'm the captain.

Can't wait for Scarlett to be named the number RB1b back by the coaching staff. 

 

This dude had 4.4 yards per and 14 yard catch. So much power and finesse.

 

Mini beastmode is here!

I like Burns, Scarlett, and Terry, but anyone willing to write off Little or Grier yet is misguided

If a good LT was easy to find, the league wouldn't have a dearth of them.

Same thing with starter quality QBs

Simply not fair to compare the 2 positions with arguably the longest development time with other positions

Some positives from last night 

- Jermaine Carter - 7 tackles 

- Jordan Kunaszyk - 7 tackles

- Rashaan Gaulden - 4 tackles, 1 for loss 

- Efe Obada - 4 tackles, 1 for loss

 

So I would not call Carters 7 tackles a positive.  He was exposed the whole first half in coverage.  I can give a pass to smith in coverage bc he is 240 lbs.   but Carter is 225 lbs.   what he is supposed to do is be good in coverage.  He was victimized last night.  Now maybe he isn’t up to speed from his knee injury in the spring.  But overall the tape doesn’t lie.  

Confused by him last night.

I have been intrigued by him since we drafted him.  At first take I was like wtf?   But after I watched his tape,  I like how he runs.   One of his first runs of the night reminded me of his run against Tennessee.  Bouncing and dragging people towards the first down marker.  Love how hard he runs.  

This is why I jumped on David Newtons comment that he was loosing ground to Holyfield when Scarlett was hurt.  It was clear last night who has the better upside.  Holyfield is a nice story and I like the kid.  But he is a plodder.  He doesn’t come close to the matchup issue that Scarlett provides.  

I have been saying it for a while.  Scarlett will be the #2 on this team to spell CMC.

Everyone that reported from training camp talked about Scarlett being a lock for the roster as if it was assumed already at this point. I don’t think there’s any doubt he’ll be on the 53. The question is if the coaches are smart enough to give him a jersey on game days.

Defended the Scarlett pick before, like it more now. You don't lead the SEC in YPC in the 4th quarter by accident. Yeah he had a really checked off field past at Florida, but he produced like a sledgehammer.

 

The shocking thing is the passing game development. Florida didn't feature him on passing plays but he has shown a great willingness to block and better hands than expected. As a runner he was ready to contribute if given the chance.

Thought he was clearly #2 as the pounder day he was drafted. Question now is what to do with CAP.

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

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      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.
