Is this a bold prediction? Having the field vs one player the odds are obviously going to be in favor of the field except for a year with a generational talent like Lawrence/Luck.

And see. . .you proved my point and didn't even realize it.  Any of the top QB's in this draft at this point can be considered average at best yet we mortgaged our future and gave up major draft capital to move to one for no one generational.  If our pick at 1 turns out to be great, we lucked into it.

Luck is always a part of it. Fitterer said you don't make that move unless you have conviction. Conviction from the previous staff meant nothing. Conviction from this staff and their combined decades of experience makes it more than just about luck. They could still miss, but the odds are better with this group than probably any group we've ever had.

Interesting the Mayer to Dallas call because that's the comp I keep coming up with for Mayer - Jason Witten. You watch those guys play and there's nothing eye popping about them. They check all the boxes physically but there's not a lot of highlight reel plays. They just block effectively, get open, and catch balls. Over and over again.

Precisely.  Definitely a Jason Witten, Todd Heap type

Otherwise at TE, I have grown to be all about Tucker Kraft.  Doesn't have the injury concerns Schoonmaker or Musgrave brings, but blocks, gets open, and is a pain in the bazooka to take down.  

My ideal path is still a trade down from 39.  Would love a draft landing:

1) Bryce Young

2-from trade) DJ Turner/Julius Brents

3-from trade) Tucker Kraft

3-2) Tyler Scott

4) Kendre Miller

5) Braeden Daniels (or) EDGE

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
