I am beginning to believe we will draft Sheldon Richardson

This is not based on who I want to draft but the more I learn about Gettlemen the more I feel this will be his pick. My guess is we will keep Gross and try to shave some from his salary unless E Fisher falls which I doubt he will.

He seems to like the athletic dlinemen and Richardson or Floyd for that matter fits that mold.Another reason is this years wr class is not elite but deep, and feel we can grab an upgrade in the 2nd round .

Not that I am good at this but I did pick Luke as our number 1 pick last year based on the severity of the injury to Beason and Cam the year before.

I would be thrilled with a Richardson/Hunter or Richardson/Reid combo as long as we've added RG run stuffing Dt and some secondary help in FA.

That is kind of what I am thinking.We may pick up a guard and FS with a FA.There are really 2 elite guards this year but I do not see us using our number 1 on either.

Sheldon ain't so good against the run, maybe he can improve but I feel the need for a run plugging NT is much bigger than a gap shooter.

The problem is it takes a DT some time to physically develop in a time where we expect so much out of 1st round picks to play now coupled is most of these guys are out early.Though I believe we will draft one I am not so sure it will give us an immediate game changer or big bang for our buck this year.

I think it's an odd draft year. He may not be the best player available but I honk he will be high enough on the board so when they look at player ranking and positional need he may come out on top. I know there are questions about DT impact the first year but I think he can make an impact and can be a 3 down player on day one.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
