Worst Case Scenario


d-run

Recommended Posts

IMO the worst case scenario is that the guys we are targeting are taken ahead of us, Richardson drops to us and no one wants to trade up. Let's say these are the first 8 drafted players:

Andrew Luck

RG3

Matt Kalil

Morris Claiborne

Justin Blackmon

Quinton Coples

Reilly Reiff

Michael Brockers

If we have to pick a guy at 9 with what is left, who do you take?

Options include:

Janoris Jenkins

Devon Still

David DeCastro

Melvin Ingram

Jonathon Martin

Dre Kirkpatrick

Other

I would take Jenkins out of that group. I think he has shutdown talent, just a little small. Either way, if Richardson falls out of the top 8 and someone else doesn't sneak up (Tannehill, Floyd, Wright), we will get a lesser talent than what I am hoping for.

Well technically, I think the worst case scenario is humanity is wiped off the face of the earth before the draft, but I am trying to work within the confines of reality.

No, that is not the worst case as it would save us the humiliation of having a bag of chips as our franchise quarterback.

Or Jimmy Clausen, which might be even worse, since we all know Otah would eat the bag of chips before it ever hit the field.

I think you are right on target.

Losing the coin flip screwed us pretty bad. What you have to look to is Buffalo. What are their biggest needs? A 3-4 OLB followed by an OT. Now, what we have to hope is that someone like Upshaw blows it up and someone(Jets) want to move in front of Buffalo.

Otherwise, we have to take a guy who has a mid teen grade at 9

Which of the remaining names is likely to be in the pro bowl for the next 10 years.

I take DeCastro, cut Wharton, use the $$ saved to sign an OLB and a S.

Or take DeCastro, pair him with Wharton and a resurgent Otah and have the offence put up 45mins TOP every game.

    • It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games. 
    • Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.  
    • Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
