So what is your draft strategy after today?


Recommended Posts

I don't see that there's a player likely to be there that we would be racing up to the podium to draft at 8. I think there's probably 5 or 6 guys we'd feel pretty good about taking. And with that being the case, I think the ideal scenario would be trading back into the 13-16 range for perhaps an extra 3rd and taking whoever is available between:

Warren, McMillian, Jalon Walker, or Will Johnson. Could also be ok with Membou or Will Campbell as an heir apparent to Moton if either of them are still on the board and the others are gone. If we trade back a little further, I'd add Emmanwori to the list as well.

Then we could package the extra 3rd to move our 2nd towards the top of the 2nd and draft either Schwesinger (assuming we don't take Walker) or Malaki Starks (assuming we don't take Emmanwori). Then our defense would more or less feel set.

Need two picks in that 18-45 range. It’s not a bad draft. There just isn’t a ton of separation between picks 5-45 or so.

Nope. Top prospects not doing drills at the Combine has unfortunately become the norm. I mean, I don't blame them. There's more potential risk than potential reward but I definitely miss the days when pretty much everyone who was healthy participated.

That is so lame and honestly a small red flag for me

Yes the Belgian Malinois, most special dogs around..

 

first dog was Tibetan Mastiff.

 

if you want some dogs, hard to find more loyal, tougher, and smarter than those two..

I was gonna comment that the first dog looks like my Tibetan mastiff, except mines not mean and has the black and brown coloring like a rottie heh.  He’s still growing, only 10 months old in this picIMG_4900.thumb.jpeg.fb04dc39c2ee0f24a05de8dfe62d2364.jpeg

How many DT’s do we need? We already have D Brown, Wharton, Bobby Brown, A Robinson, Tuttle, Ray all under contract. That would be a poor allocation of resources with how many other holes we have. That’s a lot of $$ on the sideline watching. 

With as many injuries as we had last year it makes me think you can never have enough defensive linemen.

I agree, but we can’t afford to add another highly paid DT on the roster. You create dline depth by drafting well and having those rookie d-lineman produce on cheap contracts. There’s a reason why the Eagles let Sweat and Williams walk. You have to spread out your money to create a more balanced team

I agree, the draft and a chance to get a prospect like Graham would be the way to go. Otherwise I agree about having enough DT’s.

I’ve had a buncha different dogs, so far the American bulldog is my favorite. The Tibetan mastiff pup is great too but the bulldog is very trainable, loyal, strong, good personality, affectionate, everything I like in a dog. The only thing really so far the TB is behind in is he’s not as easily trainable and not quite as affectionate.

How much a Tibetan Mastiff pup set you back over there?

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
