It's all a crap shoot. That's why it's good to have as many dart throws as you can. Hitting on day 1 and 2 picks is nice, but hitting on any pick, "surprise" or not, is the ultimate goal.

The reasoning behind wanting to hit on more early picks is basically you want to crush the easy picks and not flub then. Plus the hit percentages in those three rounds are generally higher. 

Nothing wrong with hitting on later round picks. It's awesome. But the percentages of those hitting are quite low so you can't count on that with any regularity. Even the best drafting teams don't have exceptional hit rates on 4th-7th rounders.

That's why I am generally more focused on that 1st-3rd round.

True. You want to hit on the early picks for sure, that's why the hit rate is higher, but drafting is an imperfect science, if a science at all. All I'm saying is that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what round the starters come from, as long as you acquire them.

ouch.....I had nixon as the first DLman off the bench. I dont know/ was thought of in 53 plan......The killer too is, its looking like a clean break cause they didnt leave room on PS.....

 

Only thing I can add, this is a clear 3 man front and Nixon best spot was 3-tech in a 4 man front. Still odd timing and weird pick for the 53th best player. also aware ACL recovery and understanding that DLmen was signed. 

 

Why didnt they sign Henry to PS and if they want to bring him to 46 game day, do so. Be a nice tryout period and late into next week sign him to the roster and cut Nixon with the hope of him making the PS. Henry must have had other teams after him...

I think we will have a good idea of what that class is around 2024 offseason. If we haven't gotten at least 2 quality starters from the 11 picks, it was a very, very bad draft. That's my baseline for success.

Meaning that what some people attribute to "coachspeak" is actually incompetence.

I've yet to see enough good to convince me I should trust Matt Rhule when it comes to roster building.

I mean he's a 5th round player, you can do better than Nixon sure but back of the roster depth that only comes in when a player is spelled or hurt? I don't think it's "incompetence" if he stuck on the roster, it's not like we haven't been trying to address the DE depth most of this offseason.

Getting the little things right is something successful teams do.

That said, there's far greater evidence of Matt Rhule being incompetent than this move in particular.

Yep, Flecher, Brown and Nixon all cut.  Brown and Nixon were Marty-type players, so that doesn't shock me.  What is a Marty-type player?  One whose pre-draft stock is relatively high at the beginning of the process and steadily drops throughout and come draft day throws out a net to catch said falling prospect thinking they got a 'steal.'

Horn, Christensen and Smith may be the only ones to get another contract out of that class.

We also have Hoskins and Roy from this class and it is way to early to give up on Marshall.

And mostly everyone applauded that move because he was injured the majority of the off-season.

Mostly everyone applauded moving on from Teddy Bridgewater yet we went on to replace him with a far worse QB for even more investment. People have given the decision makers the benefit of the doubt in the past but they have been spotty at best. Any skepticism now has been well earned that's just reality.

The decision to move on has been great, the replacements not so much. What I was getting at was that you brought up the fact that we traded Perryman to the Raiders like it was a bad decision. At the time it wasn't.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
