your favorite offensive and defensive pick..

Excluding Kalil,Blackmon,Clairborne and no trading back

As of right now for me

Offense: Alshon Jeffrey

I just love the possibility of adding a big weapon for Newton. I feel like Jeffrey could be a deadly redzone option for Cam and will open up more single coverage for Smith for the duration of his career, much like having Moose did. A 4 wide receiver set of Smith,Jeffrey,Lafell, and Gettis would make me feel more confident against high powered offenses like New Orleans than any defensive player would here. Would also be nice insurance in the case of an injury to Smith or any other receiver.

Defense: Janoris Jenkins:

Corner was the biggest need going into the season on D last year and remains true this year

The draft does not have a lineman or linebacker that makes more sense here, further supporting the decision to go corner here. Jenkins is the most proven player to be NFL ready and would be a great compliment to Gamble. Speaking of which if Gamble got hurt I'd be terrified of captain or butler facing #1 receivers.

Assuming we're talking about our 1st round pick

Offense: Reily Reiff

Defense: Undecided, right now leaning toward Still or Coples. NOT Kirkpatrick. My feelings about Coples are following a similar trend as my feelings did about Cam last off season. Severe doubt leading to cautious optimism. We'll see if it progresses to unquestioned faith before the draft like last year, too (but I doubt it).

    • I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.   
    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
