Well he shouldn't be depth if you invest 3 picks in him.

Could have gotten 3 LBs this year for depth. Jack Sanborn, Diego Fagot, and James Houston or one Brandon Smith?

Smith needs to start in 2 seasons or this is a waste. Even worse than the Devin Funchess trade. At least Funchess started for a bit before he was flushed.

Investing too much draft capital into individual players like Darnold, Corral, Marshall and Smith to even build a foundation.

Horrible front office.

We swapped two picks. Our 2 5ths for their 4th and 6th. Fourth rounders are usually delth/ possible starters down the road. If he ends up starting we did great.

Got it. I heard them say our 2 5ths and next years 5th for the Commies 4th when it was announced.

Still see better value LBs on the board so I don't like it, but not as bad as I thought.

He got passed over for a kicker. It doesn't get much worse than that. 

I thought it was decent chance that he would be a 4th, I just soured on him badly one weekend I drove in to the draft class. The poor UNC homers could not see, Im a UNC fan and overcame it. Even his measurables were awful... 

Id be up for him in the 6th, I do think he could beat out Walker........(maybe)

Mack and Longo totally tanked Sam’s draft stock by making him run all last season. They never bothered to develop his QB acumen. Sam and his family should be livid.

That happens to a lot a great prospects unfortunately.  Coaches are pressured to win and sometimes the player is sacrificed to try to make that happen. 

Its up to the scouts to determine what is left in the player that will translate to the nfl. It's a cruel business that chews these kids up and spits them out for the almighty dollar.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
