Draft Discussion (Other Teams)

A thread for general discussion of draft news from around the league.

First up: After specifically telling Colt McCoy that they were not going to take a quarterback in the first round, the Browns took Brandon Weeden and are now trying to trade McCoy (ouch).

Speculation that the Jets may have blown it again. Kirk Herbstreit says New York's other team whiffed big time taking Quinton Coples with Melvin Ingram still on the board.

And then there's the Pats, who this year traded up rather than down. People are thinking that the Pats are in a big time "win now" mode after feeling embarrassed by last year's Super Bowl loss.

The official Bucs page still has a link that says their new message board is "coming soon". It's been there for quite a while now. Chances are they're probably glad not to have one at the moment :lol:

I was thinking about looking in on Saints Report to see what they were saying about their pic...oh wait :unsure:

I think the Bucs did a horrible job, especially since Doug Martin played against who?

St Louis has a great day ahead of them, three picks within the first 13 picks tonight.

Finally, who the fug is AJ Jenkins, 49ers? Moss, Manningham, Crabtree, now this guy.

Word from Michael Silver at Yahoo that Jeff Fisher was in a state of near panic yesterday after having already lost out on the first two guys they'd targeted (Richardson and Blackmon) and apparently in danger of losing their third target (Brockers) but this time things fell in their favor (link)

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
