Listening to WFNZ today and Kevin said if Moses is there at 28  GMAN should sprint to the podium and take him.

 

He even said if he falls to 20 we should trade up to get him. He said that Moses is climbing up the boards of teams and is a legit LT.

 

He went on to say we should be able to get two WRs that will be impact players as deep as the 4th round.

Sounds smart if you ask me.  Long Arms, good feet, not much power in run blocking, but Gross was not a beast in that area either.

 

Do you pass on Cooks or Beckham or Lee to take Moses?

 

Here is another question--If Moses moves up boards, do you take Zack Martin over the guys mentioned above?

Offensive line in the first round...

 

Would I be in favor of that? Hmmmmm :unsure:

 

That question has been bugging me because there is a drop off after the top 3.  How good is Moses and is he really a legit LT?  If so, yes.  But people make general assumptions and announce to the world their epiphany (word carefully chosen because Moses is the subject) as if it was a well-preserved secret that Moses can play LT on the NFL level.  If this was not obvious in December, why does the fog clear in April?

 

If he can play, then we take him.  All that talk about Bell turns out to be a smokescreen.  It will be hard if a stud WR is on the table, but at 60 we could land a quality WR who would make us better.

  If Gettleman is as sure as Weidl that Moses is the man I say you have to take him. The draft is very deep at WR.

 

I am now ready for my Huddle beat down for my comment above.Let the insults begin.

If you look at the history of first rounders at WR, it does not give you courage. Moses would be the safe pick, possibly the best pick if he plays LT.

 

Take a look at franchise tag salaries and you can see what positions are worth--supply and demand. An average LT salary is way higher than an average WR salary.  That means they are more rare. 

 

More points: 

Gettlemen likes the big boys.

T is a safer pick.

A T impacts nearly every play.  A WR impacts some plays.

We are in a conference that has put a focus lately on pressuring the QB--New Orleans and Rob Ryan, Atlanta wants Clowney, and the Bucs are about to become Lovie's team.

We need a starter NOW.  Moses is a starter from day 1.

Moses is a high character guy.  That means a lot to DG and JR.

 

There are quality WRs through the second round, but the T supply dips dramatically after Zack Martin/Moses. Tiny RIchardson and Cyrus' knees hurt the supply--more question marks.Mewhort projects to RT, Bitonio's arms are a bit short and he could be a guard.  Turner is from a small school and has little quality tape.  Hurst has the broken leg---

 

WR in the second round probably eliminates your chance of getting a game-changing #1, but few become that anyway.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
