People keep propping up school tape like it's amazing when projecting the play to the NFL. This is what a school freak looks that dominates school players and will be a 100% stud in the NFL.

It's cool that these guys played well in school but show me 1 guy in this draft who is this talented? That is what dominance looks like. We got a shot at some solid football players but damn the hype for these guys needs to go to the level it really is and not where some of yall want it to be.

I want a WR actually willing to do agility drills. I want to draft a receiver that is actually fast at stopping and starting. We've spent 15 years drafting big guys that run fast in a straight line and/or jump real high. Give me a guy that can get open in a phone booth over a guy that needs a runway.

Yep, exactly.  In the NFL these days you need quick shifty receivers that get open running their routes.  Separation is key.  We keep drafting wr's like it's 1999 and we are just going to throw deep balls in to double coverage, when the modern NFL defense is a shell that focuses on stopping over the top passes.  We literally keep trying to build to what the rest of the NFL has already figured out and learned exactly how to stop.  The same with chasing the seahawks and legion of boom defense always.

Per Daniel Jeremiah, he hasn’t come across anyone that has him top 10.  Mentioned some teams have him below 20th overall. Highest in the 10-13 range. 

 

Kinda puzzling to me because of how weak the top of the class is.  If he's Drake London, that's gotta be a pretty good pick out of this class right?  London was selected 8 overall and PFF had him ranked as the 7th best receiver last year.

If you line him up versus his common comparisons - Drake London is a bit better after the catch and Michael Pittman a bit better at out powering DBs for jump balls. You take those away and it’s a solid guy, but unsure if teams see enough that helps them really elevate their offenses.

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
