This is why I do not check this thread everyday--only every-other-day. Sure, if we can get a quality player cheap, do it. But no need to overpay, or even pay fair market value for a TE. It is simply not a vital part of this offense. If we can get Ertz cheap, sure, go for it!
Our line is good, not great. The first place to upgrade is the interior. Here's hoping that with Ford now clearly penciled in as a Guard, that he embraces and excels there.
He looks great coming off the bus, and in his work out shorts. But game day production, nothing more than average. Arron Maybin was more productive at PSU. Nope, stay away from him, unless its late in round 2.
Actually, much bigger investment needed and I have seen nothing from him to indicate "high reward"? And neither do the Browns, wasn't he 3rd on their depth chart last season? . . . I'm not convinced, all things considered, I still see JJ as the better option.
You, my friend, nailed it! In this one post you went from good to a star yourself. Indeed, the development of these four, of at least two of the four to star status, is the key to improvement. I totally agree!
Good for him. One of the saddest sagas in the NFL draft history--it gets brought up every year when talking about QBs at draft time (like how "wide right" is associated with Super Bowl field goal kicking). Can you imagine fighting personal demons and trying to live up to unfulfilled expectations before an unforgiving public eye? He's fought and won. Congratulations Ryan Leaf. Hard not to appreciate that.
