fug The Top 8 Picks


Guest MyDigBick

I swear to god every time we start talking about how nice a guy would fit in out system, a team ahead of us says they want to draft him.

My real reason for making this thread is does anyone ever remember a draft being this wide open for us? I could honestly see us drafting 5-8 different players, its nuts.

I can't not have a man named Fletcher Cox on our team.

Fletcher is a word meaning someone who makes arrows.

Strictly speaking, a Fletcher is someone who Fletches arrows (puts the flight feathers on), while an 'arrow maker' makes the wooden part of the arrow.

Over time, these two skills came to be undertaken by the same person and hence Fletcher became synonymous with arrow making.

I really dont plus I think having Rivera versus Fox make it more unpredictable.I do take Rivera at his word stating we want someone who will make an immediate impact and start.I assume he is meaning our top two picks.Then I scroll through prospects that meet that criteria I come up with picks like Decastro etc which are not the most exciting positions.

I'm the idiot here? I asked

Only one person was smart enough to reply. Everyone else made smartass replies trying to get pie.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
