This pick was a big reach but I'm more comfortable with this staff reaching than any of the previous ones.

I have no doubt that Evero was asked "of any defensive player left, or any edge left, which would you want?" With Caper's input, I'm sure, Evero said DJ Johnson.

I trust these guy more than any other staff we've had, and I trust them a lot more than any collection of draftniks out there.

Yeah, but there does seem to be some strong consistency between the last Rhule era draft and this one.   Some beat writers also pointed this out.  Which makes me think it’s Fitt and his scout team leading the show more than our coaches.   Also seems like the decision to go to #1 was a Fitt call….and they just hoped Reich would eventually agree to their consensus. 

I’m still not super high on Fitt and think we should have had a new GM come in to start the new era.

Don’t have a name today.  Haven’t put in the work.  

largely just pointing out my belief that Fitt and his scouts might have more to do with stuff than the coaches right now.

Giving away draft capital and making head scratching picks threeyears in a row now.  Matt Corral, Brandon Smith, Deonte Brown, Keith Taylor, Davion Nixon, Tommy Tremble all wasted picks. We should have hired a new GM when we hired the new coaching staff. Tepper is an idiot.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
