This is the part where we pretend Shaq is good because he’s still on the team. Then when he’s gone we can admit that he’s just not that good.

he is quite nearly a rookie. and he is hardly BAD. 

wtf is going on here.

Trading for draft picks is ALL risk. plus developing the player to just the NFL game speed is no small feat.
Bird in the hand , on this one

 

We might think this but would anyone be surprised if we find out he was traded for a 3rd or for a player for player trade.

After this past year, I wouldn't.

 

Who's to say what the right move is if you're looking out 2+ years?

The Lawson/Hughes combination isn't going to accomplish what McD wants. Hughes isn't good enough to be the sole passing rushing threat and Shaq offers very little in that department.  

 

Atleast one of them is gone this offseason.

Quite nearly a rookie? What does that mean exactly? He’s been very unimpressive his first few years in the league. He looks like just another guy.

Consider my senility.

 This is his second year ?

You’d get something similar to Ragland i would imagine. Shaq is a solid player. I know that’s uninspiring for a 1st round pick but he’s good against the run and will be like an 8 sack guy. He’s Ryan Denney IMO.

 

Yeah, as much as I hate that. I wonder how much of that pick is on Rex?

That it is. Or at least it was his 2nd year since he’s now on IR

They don't compliment eachother well at all. Hughes is a guy that can get 10-12 sacks if he is not the focal point of the offense. Shaq doesn't command any extra help in pass protection. He isn't quick enough to regularly beat the guy across from him.

Maybe the guy who leads the league in stupid ass penalties? I'd give Shaq another year and see what happens.He has been stout against the run considering how young he is. Some push up the middle would be nice from somebody.

I would like to see him bulk up to 290 and play DT. He doesn't have the speed outside but inside he could do some damage.

he already moves inside. His strength is power .

Ok - but I'm warning you. If this is a part of the "process", there's going to be an awful lot of pissed off nancy's around here.

 

A - LOT

Ragland, Shaq and Taylor are 100% Rex Ryan picks.

 

One reason I think Whaley gets a worse rap than he deserves. I’m not a ablind supporter by any means, but he didn’t get to pick a coach or fully control the draft.

Amen brother.

It has the makings of one hell of an offseason.

I agree Common. McD likes rotation. Those that wished Lawson was a pass rusher due to draft # are likely the ones a bit hurt by that Rexian draft. Lets keep in mind he played  mostly standing under Rex, which he had never done.

 But how Hughes has been used has touched a pressure point for me.

 He does not have the power to get there outside most LTs. He need to be moved. whether twist or stunts or stand him up. he is speed.

 use him correctly in a complimentary set and he should be more than reasonably affective

As a poster mention awhile back Shaq could put on weight and play inside and be more valuable in this system. I wouldn't be surprised to see an overhaul of the majority of the front 7. 

 

Next year will will be intresting. This offseason will be fun though.
