Draft Day 3 General Discussion

Didn't expect either pick but am happy with both. Nixon is great value in the 5th for one of the better 3-techs and while I expect that they wanted Johnson before he went two picks sooner, the selection of Taylor tells me that they're aware that they're going to need a platoon of coverage guys to cover all of the weapons in the NFC South

For someone who probably has zero idea who any of these players in the draft are, you are taking this way too seriously. This is special teams terrority of the draft not find a starter territory

hahahahaha people worried about interceptions from corners

 

the average fan really knows nothing

LOOOOL... How many corners you know get drafted and never made any INTs in college? I will wait. 

You could have got this guy in UFA.

I will say this.  We will find out rather quickly if this “the more darts you throw the better your chances are” approach is better than the classic “talent is at the top of the draft” mentality     
 

I can see both sides of the coin but damn we left a lot of supposed talent on the table early on.   Is our roster that bad?   
 

Sam is going to have a lot of talent around hi question is will he be protected.

Pass Deflections and Coverage are more important than INTs. Usually the less INTs you have is because you are covering your guy well and QBs aren't throwing your way that often. The average fan should know this. Not surprising the usual suspects do not.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
