I agree man...there are PLENTY of LB's available: Moch, Foster, Stuidsvant (typo..lol), acho, Greg jones, martez wilson, bruce carter, LB from miami, etc..
I like the pick. Lets face it, our corners are pretty bad... CB/LB were both needs at this point, and I guess they had Williams rated higher than any LB that was still there..pick makes sense.
This goes to show also that the coaching staff has full confidence in Fitz.
lol..listen, just give Fitz an entire preseason and season as the QB and lets see what happens. Even the most anti-Fitz individual has to admit that he had a pretty solid season last year statistically, and his grit/personality are certainly positive as well.
I don't see a peyton manning or aaron rodgers anywhere in this draft, so i don't know what the big deal is about not taking a QB this year..and it's not as if we're set at other positions. QB is not this team's primary weakness.
Kelsay is not a starting OLB in the NFL..he was barely starting material at his natural position, DE. Merriman's lights have been out since 2008. If we're supposed to rely on these two clowns for our future, then god help us.
I think you're way off, imo. If it's not one of the names you listed above, it'll be someone like Julio Jones or Cam Jordan...but lets face it, if we stay at 3, it'll certainly be ONE of those names you listed above..it's almost a certainty.
Mallett or Liuget at 3 is beyond blasphemy..
the draft is mostly a crap shoot. the best way to increase your odds of picking a future star, regardless of round, is to have more picks in each round. trading up should rarely be done.
LOL. Stop dude. How many games have you seen Miller play in? Because he's standing up at the LOS, outside the LT/RT, easily 80-90% of the time.
And as for your Clay Matthews statement, is that a literal statement or simply figurative? Because they're almost identical in size.
Great post man!
1. If Dareus is there, he must be taken. DE solved.
2. I agree as well - let TT continue to develope! KW didn't dominate right off the bat. DT/NT's take a couple of seasons to grow into the position at the NFL level.
3. If this team is absolutely sold on Sam Acho, I would have no issues either, 1. trading back into later in the 2nd round and grabbing him there, or 2. trading back up into the 2nd round and grabbing him there. Acho is still a bit raw, but his ceiling is potentially much higher than some of the OLB/DE that will be taken in the 1st round.
Good post. I think right now you'd have to put coughlin ahead of rex/smith/mccarthy..of course, 10 yrs from now, who knows. Coughlin took the expansion Jaguars to the AFC championship game twice i think, and won the SB w/the Giants and has over 130 wins...imo, he's definitely within top 5 currently
#1- Belichick
#2- Reid
#3- Tomlin
#4- Peyton
#5- Coughlin
Even if he doesn't win a SB, Reid will have HOF worthy numbers as a head coach when it's all said and done. McCarthy won the super bowl this past year, but I wouldn't just go ahead and put him ahead of Reid. IMHO.
Exactly. I think that some people tend to view NFL teams as individual/independent entities and that's where they get confused.
Company X requiring a prospetive applicant to have a minimum 4 year college degree to be considered for Y employment opportunity is not illegal. A similar logic applies to the NFL and whatever requirements they demand/require for an individual to join their league.
