This draft feels like the RAS addiction is still lurking in the FO.

Just a lot of head scratching moves with better options available.

Oh well, such is the way of the Tepper Panthers. 

It is what it is.

I think that you're mixing up RAS for upside. We presumably have good good coaches, and we certainly have people closely associated with the franchise and actually closely associated with the GM that know a little something about playing WR and LB. Canales was a WRs coach for goodness sakes. You pick the guys with the upside and coach them up.

That's long been the MO of the Seattle front office that the Fitterer/Morgan network graduated out of. Unlikely to change.

interesting, literally every weakness is coaching related. I guess they feel he didn't have good development at uk and they can provide it. He is Shaq's replacement, so he won't play much this year anyway. 

Which seems unlikely 'cos Kentucky coaches the heck out of their players.

Per usual, most of you hating on this kid have probably never seen him play. Hes the perfect outside linebacker for today’s defense. Needs to get stronger, but great instincts.  Especially in coverage. Hope it works out for us. 

We play a 3-4, he's in ILB in our system.

I don't think they've taken BPA at each pick, which has lead to some reaching, but the 2nd and 3rd rounders are definitely football players who also happen to be hyper athletic. 

Legette - yeah, that's a strange one for me.

Can we question Micheal Jordan’s ability to scout basketball talent?  If so, Morgan is fair game.  Especially given he has been part of what has gone down the last several years

True.

But Michael never worked as a scout etc. he just bought the team and forced his input like Tepper.

Dan worked his way up as a Scout post playing football.

Plus, teams Dan was an Assistant GM prior to here.  All the combined LBs that were taken in the top 100 ended up being pro bowler or all pros.   Now Wallace is the 4th one taken in the top 100

    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.  
    • A 2 year deal for Coker would be terribly short sighted as I pointed out in another thread the other day. T-Mac will be eligible for an extension after 2 more seasons, and while there is still 2 years to go, he's very much looked like the type of player you extend right away, knowing waiting will only cost more money and take longer before the contract becomes a bargain with rising contracts every year. So if we sign Coker to a 2 year extension, that means we either let Coker walk after those 2 years or we don't extend T-Mac when we should, as I can't see signing both in the same off season much of an option, it was terrible for the Bengals this year. I like doing a 1 year deal for Coker to set his market value with a full season as the #2, and then sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal after that, which also separates Coker and T-Mac's contract years to help keep both around instead of having to choose at some point, like the Bengals should have done. I also think coming to an agreement on a multi year deal right now could be tough, the team will want to pay the rate of his actual production so far and his agent will want to be paid on his potential from his few breakout games, everyone might just be too far apart for a multi year deal.
    • I would love Sonny Styles!.   I don’t think he slips that far.   Get the best OT available at 19.  There is a good chance icky will miss next year and then come back and may switch to guard.
