The Perfect Draft (If Cam Comes Back 100% Healthy)

That would be a home run so we won't be doing that.

Pick a MLB in the 1st. Go ahead and throw the 2nd ans 3rd round picks out and pencil in a warm body that won't contribute and follow it up with an injurey prone project in the 4th, a guy that contributes in the 5th as a backup or 3rd/4th year starter and the 6th round and 7th round guys will be cut or sent to the practice squad. Clasic Hurney draft.

I would rather have you as the GM.

Unfortunately this is the most realistic prediction I’ve seen yet.

So our first pick will be a lineman who won't likely make an immediate impact?

Ok.

Greg Little is a better option than a rookie Tackle.

You have no damn idea if Little or Thomas is better 

What we know right now is Little is an injury prone LT who had so-so performance his rookie season. And Thomas is a grade A certified bad ass LT from college.

The idea is you let the best man win the job. Then you put the other dude at LG and have a road grading o line 

If Little is good and stays healthy that only benefits you in terms of the quality and depth of your offensive line

I don't understand this thinking that Greg Little showed he's a great LT for the future based on what happened last season 

 

If anything you're taking a bigger risk by banking your future on an injury prone LT with dubious skills and not being proactive about trying to finally find Gross' successor. 

We all saw with Daryll Williams you can't just trot dudes out there after major injuries and expect them to be good

If anything Thomas might be much safer bet based on his college record

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
