The good news would be that we'd have a pretty good chance to be at the top of the draft next year that way. But if we were planning on that, we should just wait to draft a RB till then and see if we can snag Fournette.
Now Fournette is a RB I could see as a legitimate top 10 talent at that position.
He seems like the next Campbell, Walker, Dickinson, Peterson. The once in a generation guy that'll be the next guy to make 2000 yards in a season.
Yeah my general rule would be to never take a RB in the top ten but every once in awhile a special talent comes along that is worth breaking that rule for. AP looked really special in college. Fournette is the first RB I have seen since then that looks that way to me.
Well no doubt, but WGAS. You could say the same thing about Andrew Luck vs Carson Wentz. In fact, that comparison is a total joke. At this time last year no one but NoDak and Mrs. NoDak even knew about Carson Wentz.
Are you Cleveland's GM? That would actually explain a lot.
I just don't see Jerry signing off on taking a QB at 4 who he expects will sit for at least 2-3 years. He and Garrett will probably want a more immediate starter in the first. But I'm positive we will draft a QB since we haven't addressed the backup situation, I just think it'll be in the 3rd or 4th round.
I'd like to believe they aren't fools enough to actually believe a QB that's finished 2 of the last 3 years on IR, and ends every season gimpy is actually someone we can count on for 2-3 years. Even the dumbest front office should be expecting an open competition for starting QB in 2017.
Passing all together won't solve anything because if Romo makes it through the season on his feet it will be the same conundrum next season. If he doesn't make it then passing on this season's opportunit will still bite Dallas in the butt in the long term and short term will eliminate the lower round project acquired this year to find look for Romo s replacement.
Maybe. Next year's draft is over a year away. We might have an idea now of who the top QB prospects will be but we don't know for sure how things will pan out between now and then. If Romo does stay healthy then we should be drafting probably late teens/early 20's and it would make it more difficult to acquire a top QB talent, but not impossible. But there's also a chance we are back in the top 10 next year, especially if Romo misses extended action again.
Sure and I would prefer not to suck ass for the next two years and then be starting fresh with a rookie. Setting the whole process back 2 years or more.
Yep. This is the best opportunity Dallas will get to obtain a top rated replacement for Romo. I cannot visualize Dallas being in this position next draft. Even if Romo went down the second or third game I think the record would be better.
That actually sounds right, using analytic's would have you going for the cheaper upside guy.
No way I believe Cleveland takes a QB just to create instant controversy with RG3. Their baseball GM has saber metricized himself into trying to rescue an 'elite talent' from the animal shelter so he can pick a top athlete like Jack or Ramsey.
If they had wanted a QB to play OK and develop a rookie behind him they would have signed Fitzpatrick. The only reason you go for a guy like RG3 involves words like 'potential' and 'upside'.
I agree. I think their QB question was answered when they took on RG111. He may not work out but he is their personnel game plan.
