As to the OP…when you get past the 15 pick in the first in this draft you are already seriously debating if there are better football players than Bijan available.  Lots of questions in that range IMO.  There does come a point where he makes a lot of sense for some teams

I mean if your fine with Chubba Hubbard being your starting RB. There are exceptions to the rule. Barkley was one of them. when you get one of those guys at their best look what he did for the Giants carried their offense single handedly. I think you look hard at special talents. only reason he would be available at 20 or less is hes at a position thats undervalued.

Are you fine with poor TE play or limited WR play? 

If we're going to invest in a QB and take it seriously, we're going to have to make pass catchers a priority. 

I'd like to do better than Chuba, but I'd like even more to give our new QB better targets

nope. I see no pop in his game. He doesn't have break away speed in the NFL and I don't think he's a power guy. Possibly elite balance and sight but.. not in the 1st. He's no CMC.

Naw, Bijan has crazy talent.  You can’t knock him there,  dude has special talent no doubt.  Can catch, block but his vision and cutting ability are off the charts.

 Tank Bigsby or Kenny McIntosh in the 3rd and y’all will be fine for years.

This is a bad draft. Most say there are only about 14 true first round picks in this draft with Robinson being one of them and a top 10 pick.  yeah you can get fine and decent production from other guys. This isnt a question of that. It's do you gamble on elite production.

Fine…exactly.  Don’t the Panthers have fine now at RB?  Bijan > Fine

  So are both of them. Bigsby has everything Robinson does. I welcome anyone to pull up his reel and compare it to Robinson. And Bigsby wasn’t playing BIG 12 DEFs. And had a QB who couldn’t complete half his passes. A horrible OL his whole career. Against an SeC schedule.

Of the top 20 rushers, 4 were taken in the first round. Two of those at 24. So why are you “gambling” more assets than needed for similar “elite” production?

Naw…not hearing that.  These are different backs against very different competition.  ACC defenses were really bad.

I am seriously not calling Bijan some once I a lifetime player but he is better than Bigsby.  Come on man

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
