PFF: best & worst vs Bills

I don’t think you are recalling correctly. Everything I recall from the Senior Bowl was bad, game and practices. Fitterer was on the draft show talking about picking him based on what the Alabama coaches said to him. Didn’t mention the Senior Bowl at all. Heck, remember his PR about losing weight right after the Senior Bowl? That was damage control because of how bad he looked. Practice reps are hard to watch because you get 5-10 seconds of an entire day, but the game was awful. The DL talent was pretty scarce that year, but he still got beat like a drum. 

Lol, so he basically picked him based on word of mouth. That's a little concerning. I do remember that weight statement afterwards though. 

On the bright side, I do think there is a strong possibility he'd wouldn't get poached from our PS.

I mean, consider him telling the stories of Phil Snow saying Darnold looked like Matt Stafford and Rhule's wife remembering how well Hubbard played against Baylor.

Not sure this guy completely has a grasp on how to evaluate guys at the NFL level.

He doesn't have the first clue.

He seems to be good at the high school level evaluation. He alluded to looking for athletic traits in his first season here, IIRC. And that does work when you have 4 years to coach a raw player up. 

It isn't the same kind of evaluation in the NFL and you aren't bringing in 25-30 possible players every year. You get maybe 6-10. The misses hurt a lot worse. You really need to be able to identify pro-caliber players and guys that have the motivation level to succeed at the NFL level.

I don't think Rhule has that ability. The FO personnel probably does but I don't think Rhule himself does.

Yes, very concerning to me. Ignore the fact that every grading/ranking had Smith as a day 2 pick and his RAS score was light years better than Brown. It is very troubling to me that Fitt mentioned an Alabama coach’s recommendation when we coached at the Senior Bowl. That statement was in the draft confidential video, so no interpretation. The other thing that worries me was at that point they mention Hoskins and the LS. There were a ton of people on the board still but they already had their list. It reminded me of Hurney’s data flaw. He’d seem to have his list of favorites and couldn’t go off script so we never grabbed a guy who fell or pivoted when the realization that no one else had a player ranked as high (Deonte, Little, Grier). It ended with reaches and not drafting true BPA.

Deonte can go to PS with no worries at all.

A LOT of what Rhule has done is very Hurney-esque.

Ellis Williams is saying that there are teams interested in trading for Erving. If that is true that would be awesome and we should sign on the dotted line ASAP.

Please.  He's dead weight.  That's a lot of money for a backup.  I'd take a TE or MLB straight up or a 6th rounder in next year's draft.

Luvu was a great pick up and I'm happy he gets his chance here. I when back to his Wash st. tape and he was flying around all over the field, not sure how he when undrafted but glad he here now and seems to be a high motor kinda guy...

@Basbear CJ didn’t look good against backup WRs. I always temper my enthusiasm for camp stars like TMJ last year. The real games count and show the real results. Starters should look good against backups. You can’t always draw conclusions from preseason, like Derrick Brown looking great, because he was going against a 3rd string OL. If you don’t look good against backups that’s when it is a concern.

Brother when youre using PFF.......might as well take specialjuan opinion....... Gave up a big play, I thought he was in great position. Much like Ickey hes going to have some rough plays, but this is his first time being healthy with real NFL coaching.   

Even with his great camp, I think hes going to have a tough time getting snaps. Panthers are loaded at DB and even the LBs look decent now. I still believe him on the field will be best for panthers.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
