Tampa picking Gerald McCoy was obvious, they finally get a pick they can't screw up.

Atlanta getting Weathspoon made me mad, I was hoping they would choose a DE and Sean would drop to the Saints.

New Orleans getting Patrick Robinson was a surprise to many fans,but after thinking about it..made perfect sense. When Greer and Porter went down with injury we were down to Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins is probably moving to FS with the addition Robinson

You would probably be the ONLY person to think that. Dude is a serious player.

The guy was a great college player yeah, but he's supposedly the best pass rushing DT in the draft, but Ndamakong Suh had almost as many sacks in 1 year as McCoy had in his career. McCoy is going to have some serious problems transitioning to the NFL because his technique isn't there right now. It's all lower body for him. His upper body isn't where it needs to be to be a dominant 3 technique tackle in the NFL as evidence by the fact he didn't even crack the top 12 in bench press reps at the combine.

I just think there's a pretty high bust potential for where he was drafted.

I was expecting the Taints to pick Sergio Kindle. I thought their need at LB was greater than DB.

I also agree with the hesitation about McCoy. There were LBs who lifted more than he did. If he has strength problems, he's going to be ineffective in the NFL. Good luck going up against most starting OT if you can't push a mountain. They'll just run to your side every down and over your flattened little body.

I think the CBs going down last year had something to do with it. CBs are invaluable. Dont think they want to have to pull Predator out of the stands again.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
