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.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
