2011 - Lets draft Projects


jpniner

Recommended Posts

WHY IS THIS SHIT SO FUCKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?

There are differing levels of projects. Obviously everyone has to adjust but some more than others.

It's not a hard concept to grasp. People use the "everyone is a project" defense when they know the player picked is a BIG project but want to make themselves feel better.

You can't tell me that Colin K and Luck would have been the same coming into the league.

You can't tell me AJ Green and AE are the same "project" coming into the league.

Of course you have different levels of "projects" that's why you draft some players in the 1st round and other players in the 7th rd.

The draft is a risk and reward dance for every team, if you think there are any guarantees your fooling yourself.

I think we agree they all need time to adjust and essentially are all projects, also that some are more of a project than others.

but this whole expectation of players needing to be pro-bowlers when they start, or even above average, is a bit ridiculous.

if a guy takes a year to adjust, the popular belief seems to be he'll never amount to anything.. and that's complete bullshit.

    • Oh I was.  But we still had great players. 
    • You keep AT unless he WANTS to get traded to a contender during the season.  He's valuable, TET, XL, and Coker need to learn how to be PROFESSIONALS on game day, practice, and the off-season.  That's what you get from AT.  ADDITIONALLY, he is clutch.  He is steady.  At is that savvy vet who will always flash. I really think they keep 7 WR's if Brycen can operate on special teams.  Week 1 you may see us heavy on WR and OL because of the massive amount of injuries across the league.  Renfrow may even be cool starting on the PS since he lives close and wouldn't need to uproot his family.  You can still make nearly 400K as a vested veteran on an NFL practice squad.  You see more veterans hanging around since the age limit was lifted. I think the 1st 53 and PS looks like so...... Offense: (25) QB (2) Young / Dalton RB (3) Chuba/Rico/Etienee WR (7) T-Mac/XL/AT/Coaker/Renfrow/JHjr/Brycen TE (3) Tremble/Sanders/Evans OL (10) Icky/Lewis/Corbett/Hunt/Moten/Brady/Mayes/Yosh/Zavala/Kingston Defense: (25) DL: (6) Brown/Robinson/Turk/Bobby B/Cam Jackson/Sam Roberts OLB: (5) Wonnom/PJ2/NicSic/Princely/Incoon ILB: (5) Rozeboom/TW/Windmon/Cherelus/Bam CB: (5) Horn/MJ/CSW/Thorton/Evans S: (4) Tre'Mo/Ransom/Demani/Scott Specialists: (3) JJ/Fitz/Martin Last spot: Right now I have it as a toss up between DJ Johnson and Bam.  Until NicSic can come back we need an extra edge.  Do we utilize TW more as a blitzer from the middle to keep Bam safe?  I'm not worried about DJJ getting picked up from another team, a little more concerned with Bam. Practice Squad: DavidMoore/JamesMitchell/JacolbyGeorge/Tuttle/Crumdley/Ray/DJJohnson/Kantra/Carter/Blacksheer/ Wright/KrysBarnes/MichaelReid/Safety pick up/RB pick up/QB pick up
