What you're calling "drops" are contested catches. We either have other guys open that Bryce is missing or Bryce trusts Legette to win. Either way, contested catches are obviously going to have a lower conversion rate.

This is what a "drop" looks like

 

 

I remember that drop. My remote control sustained substantial damage an instant later.

Gettleman drafted for need after he cut Josh Norman and look how that tuned out.  Vernon Butler followed by 3 straight picks on CBs.  Disaster.  

Butler wasn't need.  Butler was BPA mindset. 

James Bradberry was essentially the Norman replacement.  That was a pretty good pick.

The fact that Gettleman went in with such a scenario as needing to draft that many CBs driving his strategy, indicts him for me. He made a total mess of things after he started off strong.

well, in hindsight, he probably got the Norman thing right.  Letting him walk and drafting Bradberry was probably the best move. 

once you get into the 5th round...I don't even count that.  That's true lotto picks.

Wide receivers, even the great ones (and they are rare) can get real expensive, real quick and are involved in say 40-70% of a team's plays, based on that team's particular style of offense.

An edge rusher, DT or LB can very often be involved in 100% of the plays on defense. 

It's a much better, more cost effective pick to grab one of those defenders (who are easier to evaluate and plug into a system) than to spin out yet another pick on a wide receiver. We're fair to middling, maybe even good with receivers right now.

And ignoring a need in a draft might just be the dumbest way to work a draft. Really, just think about what you said.

You do realize there is more than 1 pick in a draft right?

 

I said draft Tmac with our 1st as he will likely be the best player available as things stand now. We can draft for needs the rest of the draft lol

I think top 5/10 is where you draft the elite over need. Do you pass up a JJ Watt or a Peppers just because you need a WR? There's really only a few of those elite level prospects every draft anyway. So unless it's a QB, and you already have a Mahomes where you could easily trade out, you have to pick the guy that has the potential to be special.

Sorry, but these seem suspect. It feels like he’s had at least 4 just in Young’s recent starts. Just like today, we’ve overcome them but 4 for this season seems low. I don’t think there would have been a thread on his drops if he was just average. Luckily for us, we got a 1st on 4th down because Legette’s drop could have been a game losing drop.

That’s because some people think a drop is any ball in the general vicinity. When the ball is placed in a spot that’s difficult to catch and they don’t catch it, that’s not on the WR, that’s on the QB. 4 seems right to me. One yesterday, a similar drop a game or two back but not many otherwise. He’s snagged a lot more difficult passes than he’s dropped catchable ones, like the ankle catch yesterday.

I’m assuming his drop % of catchable balls thrown to him has to be top of the NFL. 

7.8%

24th in the league in drops

39th in the league in drop percentage

As mentioned, Amari Cooper has been horrifyingly bad. He leads the leagues in drops (11) and drop percentage (17.5%).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
