I've seen lots of post comment on how this years draft is weak talent wise.

I think this years draft is deeper infact than last years draft which was deemed best in the last few years.

Look at the number of good qb prospects coming out,where locker would have been number one last year he's looking at third best right now.

A class that includes Luck,Mallet,Locker,Cam Newton,Kellen moore,Ponder,Devlin and other elite talents.

The running back position is shallow and not as deep as last season.

The wr position has the potential to be one of the best ever with green,jones,baldwin looking like first rounds.

you have talents like micheal floyd,Blackmon,Broyles guys who any other year would have been first rounders.

The OL isnt so great this year but the Defensive ends are pretty good.

You have Bowers,Clayborn,Quinn,Bailey and others making it elite.

Solid dts and linebackers with great cornerbacks.

With the right picks in place team could make vast improvements this year.

I just wanted to see what the board thought about depth in this years class.

Last year was by far deepers than this year's. Locker would have been a 2nd round pick last year. Don't believe the media on draft value.. they are not always right. Sam Bradford would have been the #1 pick regardless if Locker came out. In fact, Luck and Mallett would be the only 2 1st round QBs that you just named.

The draft is fairly top heavy this season with not a lot of depth.

that's the feeling I'm getting....we have two third rounders (compensation for Pep) so don't be surprised if we move back up into the second round

We can't trade comp picks, so I'm not sure what we would have to give up to get back into the second would be worth it. See Everette Brown.

You are either ten years old,are legally retarded, or you just don't watch any football and just look at stats. (that still wouldn't explain your third grade writing)

the fact that you said certain positions aren't that deep this year just clarifies that last year was in fact deeper. there was no real weak position last year, because all the best players declared for the draft early so they could get payed in the event there was a rookie cap installed or there is no football next year.

Every position was deep last year. there was second round talent and even some third round talent that could have been first round talent any other year. poo was wild.

Just because i don't know the exact numbers on those positions. last years class was not good at lb at all.

i agree with this.

thats a lot of the reason i've said we should trade back into the 2nd and then trade away all the picks we are allowed to trade after the 3rd round for vets.

with the exception of the top tier of talent, this isn't an incredible draft at all.

Can you do us all a favor and never post again? :thumbsup:

All of your posts are fact-less and opinionated with no intelligent material whatsoever.

This year looks good for CB and WR, and as mentioned is pretty topheavy. After the top 10 talent drops off like crazy. There's going to be alot of reaching for players that aren't really worth the spot they're taken at. And the lineman class as an overall group looks terrible.

I totally agree. If we trade back from #1 (if we get it) I hope we get some picks next year in return:yesnod:

Last years draft was reminiscent of the 04 draft, where we got Gamble, and a ton of All Pros went in the first, and throughout.

This years draft reminds me of the draft of a year after: some nice players, but weak overall. Also, two good players who play positions not really worth the top three overall, went in the two and three respectively lol--Ronnie Brown and Braylon Edwards. Sorta sounds like what could happen this year with Peterson and Green.

One good thing we may have going for us is that the early enrollee Pac-10 QB who SHOULD have went no 1 overall that year is now the best QB in the NFC, so maybe history will somewhat repeat itself...somewhat. Y'know as long as we dont screw up like San Fran and take the overrated running QB who cant throw

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
