To add to my reply…. I’m not the biggest fan of Thib, but if it’s between him or any QB because the top 3 OT are gone, I wouldn’t mind him or the safety from ND. 

Sure, I’d rather go offense but this team isn’t 1 or two drafts away. Grab the top talent on the board, fire Rhule next year, and start an actual re-build next year allowing your new coach and staff pick their QB. 

Thats how I think the draft plays out, Thib could be the clear BPA and I already know the topics on page one of the main board will be nothing but bitachin.

If we're not going to get a starting LT, and can't trade down, then I'm totally on board with Hamilton. Pairing him with Chinn would be huge. 

I can not support drafting a safety at 6 overall, that is least valued spot on the 22 man field(minus ST). Much rather have 2nd best DE/LT over the best Safety. Tho I will say this- Id prfer him over any QB in this best pool..... Id even say that last year given Mr. Pro bowler jones.

I just feel like Thidobeaux is a bust waiting to happen. I've got no real justification to back that up; just a gut feeling.

I think he has some elite skills, but if you went in a time machine 5 years from now and told me he was a bust, it wouldn’t shock me. The thought of Thib, Burns, Brown, and Reddick really excites me. I do feel Thibs is a good fit here as well. Thibs is on the smaller size so that worries me, but I was worried about Burns for the same reason.

I think he has elite talent with virtually nonexistent skills. He's getting by on sheer raw physical ability. He's going to have to improve technically in a big way at the NFL level. Total boom/bust pick IMO. I'd bet on bust.

Good analogy and spot on. No way I am taking a chance on this guy. We are at pick 6 and I can easily name more than 6 guys I would draft over him, and that doesn't even include the trade down option.

You’re right, that’s what I meant. Elite talent, not skills.

At the Combine, in front of all the coaches & execs and media,  he took the microphone and talked extensively about building his "brand". 

He just released some type of cryptocurrency ??         Thibodeaux's cryptocurrency

Was quoted as saying 

"there's nothing (a coach) can tell me that I don't already know"

which shows he may not be very coachable or easy to work with.  

Has had to defend his love of football numerous times to the media.   Which makes me think "where there's smoke, there's fire . . ."

 

Thidobeaux just seems like he wants to be the next Kardashian.  So I have to wonder about his focus and commitment to the NFL.

      Seeking Insights on RB and TE

      By Basbear · Posted

      My personal take- RB market is in the most unstable era. For one its very very low in cost and the talent available each year is 8-14 players most years. Not to mention all the cuts. Right now Id have drop all RBs a couple rounds. Just would not draft one cause a proven bunch is going for 5mill+/- each FA period. I am a huge TE fan, my goal would be to control the middle of the field. History shows rounds 3-5 is where to get one. I think the last 10 TE drafted in the first round only one has made a pro bowl and that was 30 year old David Njoku this past year. They are soooo undervalued, no other player has to block some 6'5 280 monster and on the next play run a deep post against some 4.2 speed water bug guy. I'd have two of the highest paid TEs and no one would know if its a pass or run. I don't like this years class, but always up to draft one......starting in the 3rd....

      It's about that little birdie time in a few days

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'd do not understand that both verge and zod had a three year run of getting the 1st round pick right, then the first time they missed.......non-stop tard comments about the miss and they totally forgot the past three years. I know its near impossible to guess a 25th pick, but I remember shaq being his guess. Just insane the whole deal.

      PFF Day 2 WR projection. Different take

      By Basbear · Posted

      Im about 98% sure penix gos 15th-32nd in the first, jmo...I'd even bet on that too. Hes my weakness of boom/bust, if he figures it out......It would be scary for any team playing him.  I mean young has to get another year given all the BS and I totally get the the issue if he was there 33rd. Id draft him, but you'd HAVE to trade young before unless you'd want to de-value him by a few rounds. Top eight pick with the guaranteed penix would be at 33rd......ooo my the amount of should/if/etc....
