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.

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
