I Love This Draft


Ruff

Recommended Posts

At first glance, I wasn't so happy with the Luke Kuechly pick, but, I was glad it wasn't Quinton Coples. As the time wore on, and I thought about the situation, I realized how much I absolutely loved the Kuechly pick, and how he will be an instant upgrade to our LB corp, making it one of the best in the NFL. Whether be plays Will or Mike, he will provide an immediate impact to our team, and give James Anderson a break for a while, allowing him to make plays outside of the box.

(I do think that Kuechly will be the Mike, moving Beason outside to the Will. It will allow Kuechly to play coverage over the middle, allow Beason to prowl one side of the field, and blitz like a mad-man.)

Then, we took Silatolu. I definitely did not like the pick, especially since Tru Johnson was still on the board. However, I thought about it last night, and I realized that, if Silatolu is as good as everyone thinks he is, our left side of the offensive line is going to be mean, and it needs to be. We need to protect Cam's blindside. We need to protect him. Silatolu gives us someone who will solidify that position for ten years, becoming an anchor to the line. Good pick.

Everyone freaked out about the trade for Frank Alexander, but I love it. He has been cleared to play, no heart conditions. One of the analysts said it was all Riley Reiff could do to hold him off. He's fast from what I've seen, he has an impact, and Hurney said he could come in and play immediately. Also, he gives us a guy to light a fire underneath Hardy's ass. No more motorcycle accidents, Kraken, it's time you get to playin', or else Alexander's going to be starting.

Then we get to Joe Adams. Mother of God. This guy. He's an absolute monster. He can return punts, kicks, play slot receiver, play running back, it doesn't really matter. He can do it all. I honestly think he'll be Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is that kind of special. He has fumbled 11 times in his career, but, some of those are counted as muffed punts early in his career. I wouldn't worry about it. He's going to be a monster in the NFL. The next Percy Harvin, but without the migraines.

Then comes Josh Norman. I heard the only reason he didn't go in the 2nd round, was because he's from such a small school. But, he gives size to our DBs, he's fast, and has really long arms. He apparently is a special teams monster, too (he blocked 4 kicks in his career). He's friends with Mike Tolbert, and he played High School ball with Armanti. So, he has some friends coming into the team, which generates good chemistry.

Now, all we need is Drew Butler and BPA, and we're going to be stacked for next year.

i agree on everything, except the part of josh norman, not him as a player but friends? yeah tolbert will be here not AE lol but i really liked kuechly and he is who i wanted the entire time anyway, i was interested in a guard and wanted zeitler but he didnt drop everything looks good on the guy we picked. our day 3 has been great.

Funny you say that. Joe Adams actually does have a history of migraines.

    • When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.
    • Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers. 
    • Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
