You kind of prove what you’re trying to argue, right. I rather have Josh Allen, Roquan, Mike and Buckner than the other guys. 

I understand where you are coming from, but I definitely have to disagree with taking Roquan over Alexander and Ridley.

Ridley has been spectacular at taking Donte’s lunch money away. But he is replaceable. Roquan is a key part to the the bears defense and plays a very important position. Jaire hasn’t prove that he’s a top 10 corner.

There was an article recently that shows how financially it was better, meaning paying for 2 later picks (say a 1st and 2nd) equals the salary of 1 higher 1st round pick. There point was your getting a player for 4 years for free. Even though getting one great player is great, I see the upside in more "higher round" picks. 5th and above not so much. Having Luke and all those great top 10 picks didn't get us a Super Bowl (close, but we didn't get one) and really only had 1 magically good year. Having a balanced team with good coaching might be the way (ie: Patriots) and I think that's where we are headed. I would love Simmons at LB with #7. If he's not there, maybe we should drop back if we get the right offer.

Wrong

What metric are you actually using to make that statement?  PFF scores? or eye test (otherwise known as name recoginition)

Allen is definitely looking better than the other 2 in his draft class, buts hard to say for sure after one year.

Roquan isn't any better at this position then Alexander is at this.  Actually Alexander had a better year relative to his position.  Ridley is just bonus.

Williams isn't better then Adore relative to his position.

Buckner is a really good player, but the other two guys are really good players at their positions also.  Just happens to be positions that don't get noticed as much.

Even if the play at 7 was better (which he isn't in most of the cases) he would have to be substantial better especially if both of the other players were above replacement value.

Good thing you’re not drafting for us. You would’ve passed on Cam Newton, Luke and CMC.

lol

So that’s the metric you use?

Here again I’m asking what you are basing your opinion that the pick 7s that I listed are better then the combination of the two players I listed in each year.

Productivity, leadership, wins. I rather have a dollar than three quarters.

but history looks more like 2 quarters than 35 cents.

Actually in most of those cases I reference you traded a dollar for another dollar plus a free player

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
