at the point..the 'cats need to take a chance...

I say take Andre Drummond and do everything humanly possibly to develop him properly.

He was considered the no.1 pick before the cbb season..but he struggled at times at UCONN..which many would argue is due to the coaching situation.

fwiw..just trying to make myself feel better.

If you can't draft some franchise shaping talent at 2nd and 9th, then you might as well give it up. Add those two lottery picks to what we have in Walker and Biyombo and we've got the start of something special. Does it suck to lose the 1st pick? Yeah it does. However, there is no generational talent in this draft. The first overall pick was highly debated up until the tournament. So yeah, time to get the work on identifying the two players you want to help build around.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
