Walter Football mock re-draft...

I think if Benn and Tate are gone we take a DT with 48 like Linval Joseph or Lamarr Houston.

If Benn and Tate are gone then we trade down like mentioned in the other thread. We get an additional fourth round pick and take Gilyard late in the second.

i wouldn't be upset with that. i would still love to see us with another pick in the 2nd round.

i'm looking at some others to see if anyone else has updated and the only one i could find was from new era scouting which has us taking brian price :).

it would be a total exercise in futility to try and predict how this draft will go, though, because of all the trading that will likely go on. there is no way to know who is going to be available or who is picking where today.

Not sure we're going to take Price if Benn is still available.

we gotta jump up and get tate unless st. louis grabs him. I'm hoping we get him before KC picks cuz I think they will take him cuz they have no talent outside of Bowe and the Wiess' already knows what type of player he is, but on the other hand if they pass him up to me that throws up a red flag

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
