Sorenson: Sensibility be damned! Grab Austin if he's there.


top dawg

just think of what he'd do for the guy across from him here.

I was going for more of the "it's obviously the system, and yet Austin is supposed to be a playmaker, he was the second most productive WR on the field" type thing. But let's ignore all that. Did you know that instead of scoring 13 more touchdowns, he could line up at RB?

Austin would be a good choice but is surely not a better choice, for example, than Star or Milliner or some of the offensive and defensive linemen in this draft. If he is there at 14 we have to see who else we have to choose from. I surely wouldn't trade up to get him and if offered enough might trade down.

Whoever we get could be a starter from day 1.

The more time goes on, the more I want Tavon. I think the "inside out" approach is more dangerous on the field and cheaper in the long run. An example is the Patriots. Their #1 receiver was their Welker, the slot guy, and they had two good TE. The 1 and 2 receivers were really just plug and play guys.

i find it hilarious people saying that cam isn't accurate enough to get the ball to austin.

austin's not a midget and cam isn't a blind man lobbing balloons in general vicinities.

he can get the ball to anyone he wants. just because he's not some surgical strike guy like brees doesn't mean he's inaccurate and can't thread the needle.

I find it hilarious that towards the end of the season last year that pretty much everyone was saying that Cam needed another receiver that was a bigger target that could make tough catches and score in the redzone. Now everyone once to draft a guy who is even smaller than Smitty and is more of a gadget guy than a true wide receiver.

    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
