Smart teams vs dumb teams

Last night you could easily see who they were. The cowboys and the jets probably being the most visible. The panthers on the other hand showed they were a very smart team helmed by taking the best dt on the board that fits out scheme perfectly and fills up a huge need position. I think we out in a new era and it's clear as day to see this franchise is already headed in the right direction. Although our pick kinda got overshadowed by Vikings and rams having a million first picks I think ours was one of the top picks homerism aside. Winners and losers on round one?

Vikings get an A+ (although think Hunter is better than Patterson for them)

Jets get a D (they get a worse corner in exchange of Revis) and missed on the best DT on the board

Bills get a ? three years from now they are going to look like geniuses, or razorcakes

Screw the Pats

Panthers A (got lucky catching a falling Star)

The Cam Newton's, Russell Wilson's, and RGIII's of the NFL really pressured Buffalo into making that pick. Remember that botched conference call with Mark Dominik and Buddy Nix? Nix was adamant about finding a QB this offseason. I just think he jumped on a guy that was graded as a late 2nd/early 3rd round pick....could really burn them.

They easily could have waited and still ended up with at least Barkley smith Manuel or nassib. They fuged up on that one

why are the jets stupid?

from a talent stand point they got two good players. Milliner's injury history is over blown and half this board would have been happy with richardson if Star had gone where he should have. Yeah they probably shouldn't have traded Revis in the first place but the owner wanted him gone and that decision has to be viewed as a sunk cost at this point.

The Cowboys traded down and upgraded their center position, and if you've ever watched a cowboys game you know snapping the ball is a massive problem for them.

The worst draft picks of the night, besides the Bills taking EJ Manuel, were the Saints and 49ers.

The niners didn't need to trade up for Eric fuging Reid. He had the highest catch percentage against of all draft eligible safeties this year. I don't really care how much Harbaugh wanted him to come to Stanford. That was a reach for a player with very limited range and tackling issues.

The Saints poo the bed the worst. Vaccaro fuging sucks. They basically just got a Roman Harper clone with a massive upgrade at DT sitting right in front of them.

It was actually a pretty good draft if you hate other teams in the NFC South, since the Falcons traded up and passed on Floyd as well. They still don't have pass rush.

Nothing has changed as far as drafting in the first round goes. We all see Star as the guy. The true test begins tonight. Will we finally draft a starter after the first round?

they've drafted plenty what are you talking about

I would have given them an A+ until they traded 4 picks to get patterson

Didn't like that either, but as others have pointed out, the Patriots could be chided for that too.

The Pats haven't really drafted as well as their media reputation would lead you to think. They've definitely had some hits (Gronkowski, for example) but the whole "trade down " thing has gotten to the point where I think it's the Pats believing their own press.

Belichick really seems to believe he's so smart that he can find players in later rounds that he can turn into Pro Bowl level starters. Thus, they trade down with an eye toward doing just that. Occasionally it works, but for some of their drafts, it's backfired.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
