Fairley; my official recant


CAVSS

Recommended Posts

I've been calling Fairley a guaranteed bust. I am recanting that statement.

I just watched his special with Gruden and he genuinely seems like a good kid. Looks respectful, excited, and coachable.

I think he is the defensive Cam. They both have the biggest boom/bust potential in the draft. Right now I'm willing to bet that a few years from now they will both be doing very well. Just crazy that they both played for the same school. And both came from juco.

I think I unFairley judged him based on a pic he took with Jawalrus. After seeing that pic I couldn't lose my negativity. Till now.

:nopity: Any player that comes out of the draft each year always could be a bust. From 1st rounder to 7th round. No team never knows what they are getting until the season starts and the games count. If Luck came out in this draft and we picked him and started him right away. There would be no way of telling if luck would be NFL great or not. Best thing a team can do in the draft is pick what players they feel that can fit their system and hope for the best in who you draft.

    • Nijman is actually one of the better free agent left tackles available in free agency and he will get a chance to start next year. He will get a raise and likely be re-signed. Christensen backs him up and they should sign another veteran tackle and/or draft a 2nd or 3rd round tackle as well. Zavala and Corbett need to go so they should also draft a guard. I’ve suggested they should trade down in the first round to accumulate more picks for depth they are going to need a lot of going forward. 
    • Princely overall PFF was 47 compared to Scourton’s 68.   Not everything shows  up in the stats.  
    • If you account for the discrepancy in snap counts, then Princely and Scourton actually had pretty similar production. Scourton: 717 snaps (68%) 47 tackles (7 TFL) 5 sacks 15 pressures 1 FF Princely: 222 snaps (22%)  24 tackles (2 TFL) 1.5 sacks 5 pressures 1 FF, 1 FR I think Scourton was simply given more opportunities to flash.  Then it goes to a more abstract argument of why Princely was not given more playing time.  But then we'd be blindly giving credence to the same guy who not only drafted DJ Johnson, but was happy to waste a roster spot and snaps on the guy for 2 seasons and some change.
