He is tiny. He will not be a full time or likely even part time running back trying to get in between the tackles.

He will likely be a slot guy and situational back. No one will get cut because of this pick. At least not right away.

His 40 time isn't spectacular but his game film is great. I don't hate the pick and I don't love it. Hope we can come away with some good udfa.

At his pro day, his 40 time was 4.38... I don't know what you consider spectacular, but...

At least I can see Madden's PAC-12 bias leading to like a 97 spd rating for Barner, lol. Like I said, I don't get the fit right now but I anticipate they're looking to move DWill. I've been a Barner fan for a good minute and he's versatile so he will most likely eliminate the need for guys like Joe Adams and possibly Ted Ginn as well.

I will with hold judgement to see if we can pick up any udfa. One thing ill say, we addressed our two biggest needs. If star is pimp, short can be the first guy off the bench, and kug can start at rg we will be FINE. i would have preferred some more impactful guys in 5 & 6 that seemed to be there, just dumb.

To the imbeciles against this pick,

ITS THE GODDAM fuging 6TH ROUND FOR fugS SAKE. ANY TIME YOU CAN GET A PLAYMAKER OF HIS CALIBER IN THE SIXTH GODDAM ROUND YOU TAKE HIM.

This is soooo correct. Guys, don't be idiots. How many RB's have we drafted in the lower rounds and how many are still on the roster? This does not mean that DWill will be cut or traded. Wake up! Why anyone wants to get rid of one of our best players is beyond me. You're getting toxic.

Same thing was said of Jaquizz Rodgers.

Basically Dexter McCluster. Good pick, good player, but it seems weird with all of the RBs we have. I assume this means no Armond Smith next season.

Basically, as of now:

Stewart (Smash)

Williams (Dash)

Barner (Scat)

Tolbert (FB Bowling Ball)

The problem is with Cam and his set-run plays, we already had a hard time utilizing Stew, Williams, and Tolbert at the right times. Hopefully Shula is better in this regard.

We need an OG in the FA.

The rage is very funny to me.

All these arm chair GM's watching youtube videos think they know more about football than a whole organization full of pro scouts, coaches, and evaluators. Even these guys know the draft isn't an exact science, and here you are making it out to be.

Seriously. I like debating football and all that, but calm down and breathe.

It just feels like Joe Adams is expendable now with Ted Ginn and kenjon Barner on the roster

I think that he will be in training camp and will get cut. He isn't a good receiver and fumbles the ball way too much as returner In other words, he's really bad.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
