I guess his point is that the team brain trust thought that swing tackle was a bigger need than starting RB, but I don't buy that.So wait we did or didn't draft for need. If RB is our biggest need and we were drafting for need, wouldn't we have taken a RB?
Hitchens is the only mid round reach we hit on in nearly 20 years. I guess we better hope Green make 2.
I bet it was. We took up almost all 7 minutes.
I think Ajayi is still probably on our board but I think he has been knocked down rounds based on the knee risk. Sort of like Leary. We still wanted him but a guy who had a fourth round grade got knocked down to an undrafted player for us. I'm guessing Ajayi is in a similar situation.
You said those who picked those reaches are gone. Yet Jerry is still here. Does he have any say in the draft?
If they had to scrambled they have no idea what they are doing & I don't think that is the case.
Sounds like Leary
The draft is jam packed with guys that we think are reaches because the media has conditioned us to believe that a certain round is where a guy should go. Those projections are often wrong. People don't seem to understand that what one team looks at as an UDFA another team may easily have a 3rd round grade on. Depending on which one of those teams Kiper talked to he may project the guy as a third rounder or as an UDFA. If you think Kiper or any of the other media guys watch that much film you're kidding yourself.
It's been looking the last few years that he has less and less.
Yep. We basically only draft those who visited regardless of round. It's the same mindset that led to Arkin, AOA, Matt Johnson, Brewster, Webb, Stanback, Skylar.
Actually he is, high motor, upfield penetrator.
I don't like Buck Allen but he has some workhorse type abilities that would at least make him a nice pairing with a guy like Randle. If your looking at a RB by committee I don't see the problem with attempting to make some of that committee better. Right now Randle looks like the best RB on the roster. The question is can Allen be better then any of the RBs who are going to make our roster right now and I'd say he is.
Small school, Small School, Small School, Small School, Small School and special teamer. I feel a hell of a lot better taking an athletic big player from a major school.
