I could easily be wrong here, but I feel like it wouldn't be a problem getting 24 votes. Seems like something every team would/should want giving each offense one possession. 

Seems like a no brainer.  2 out of 4 years a great qb watched his team lose in OT without ever getting the ball.

Yeah it only makes all the sense in the world. Although im sure there's a few that would vote against it. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if someone like Jerry Jones ended up voting no

Which is why it was crazy to hear some posters regarded the position as a “want” rather than a “need.” Boundary CB absolutely needs added talent. By the way, Beane is a much better interview than McD. He will tell you things if you listen hard enough, while McD is like a fortress, he doesn’t give you anything but what you probably expect to hear.

 

I think they are both good at giving what looks like a detailed answer but in reality they say nothing. Which is how it should be TBH. Have to wear the poker face with FA and the draft coming up.

I'm guessing the twitter guy got it wrong. Otherwise, he probably would have used quotes.

 

I'm sure he did since he also said "day" instead of "way" in the same sentence.

Lets end epic games with coin tosses?  I'm not sure why there's a discussion.  

 

Hockey has a golden goal sudden death - but the fluidity of hockey makes this work.  They'll also play for hours til it happens.  

Soccer usually has a full 30 minutes - but they also go to PKs in tournaments which is gross.  

Basketball has full 5 minute periods. I personally like the idea of an Elam ending - because i hate all the stalling/fouling/free throws at the end of games.  Elam ending tends to force teams to just play basketball.  

 

NFL has a coin toss - where the winner wins more games than they lose (both in regular season and significantly more in playoffs).  I get the idea behind  not wanting to change it, but its playoffs, just play out a full OT period.  You get more of the exciting stuff - 4th down attempts late in the game, game winning drives, etc.

Sounds like more picks to fix the defense… just like every year…

 

Outside of Linderbaum, what O players or positions would you want to see at #25?

If a highly graded player at WR falls I'd be willing to shoot a shot there.  I'd probably prefer an upgrade at G/C though.

Pobody's nerfect.  And I think we can all agree that we are grateful for our country's diplomatic professionals stationed around the globe.

Drake London

Jahan Dotson

Zion Johnson

Jameson Williams

Diggs, Davis, Knox are/will be Josh's top-3, trusted targets.

 

Do we spend a 1st round pick on a guy who is our 4th option (at best)? Or a CB who can start right away, play every down, and contribute immediately?

 

(I agree on G/C, but outside of Linderbaum, I don't think there are any worth the #25 pick)

I appreciate the list and actual answer. Thanks!

 

Same question for you as above.

 

Are you taking balls away from Davis and Knox? Is it worth spending #25 on a guy who will be 4th or 5th option?

Diggs had 164

Beas/mckenzie had 138

Sanders/Davis had 135

Knox had 71

Backs had 82

 

I don't know that the splits will be obviously - the same?  I assume they'd want to give davis more targets in 2022 - but that 138 number for bease/mckenzie is largely unfulfilled.  The depth behind them isn't particularly notable either.

Just Burks or Williams if they drop. Dean is becoming intriguing especially if TE is traded?  And then there's Jermaine Johnson? Alot will change after the combine.

Fair enough, thanks for the numbers. Agreed that with the way we spread the ball out and around, we can never have enough WRs. Especially as injuries pop up. I'm just considering the difference in contributions between a #4 WR option vs starting CB.

 

I'm all for drafting O. It has definitely been neglected. But I dont want to force things, "just because".

I'll be shocked if Dean is still there at #25.

A 3rd receiver at like 4yr 13M with a 5th year option is also a really nice cost controlled asset.  Depends on the depth in the draft at CB and OG to me whether i'd chance that.  Also if they make a splash and sign a christian kirk it becomes far less likely.
