Kirby Jackson Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I like the pick. Slot Corner is a big need. There’s a good chance that he’s an upgrade from Leonard Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be solid nickel depth which is all you can ask for in the 4th round. Listening to him on WGR he sounds intelligent and excited to come here.

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There’s a policy at my work place that says “never reach”. It applies with the draft too. Beane has his board and he’s sticking to it. Why reach on a lineman who has a 5th rd grade when he can get his guy who might possibly have a 3rd rd grade in his book. But I’m sure some of you know way more than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 1 minute ago, njbuff said: I will trust McDermott and his staff. They went to the playoffs with a weak roster last year. They are building this team the right way and they knocked off a playoff drought in the process. Let them continue to do things their way and we might see a consistent winning SB contender here. FINALLY. Exactly. Beane and the staff have a clear vision of what it takes to be consistent winners in this league and I have a ton of confidence in their decision making. Last year was impressive to say the least and I expect this roster to be an upgrade and next year to be SB contenders after all that dead cap is gone.

TigerJ Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Runs a 4.5 40. Small college player, but good toughness. Mike Mayock questions his ability to track the ball in the air, but otherwise thinks he has a good skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I cannot recall any predraft ranking that was better than the 6th round. I will defer to macbeance.

I agree 100%. They have done a nice job imo (even though Allen wasn’t my guy). They have gotten good value and plugged some needs. The point that I was making is that they definitely aren’t comfortable at WR or they wouldn’t have been talking with the top guys. I think a Denver guy is a sleeper potentially.

Some day, when some posters realize that it is no longer 1985, they are going to understand that a teams needs 4 starter-level CBs. 3 good CBs, and a backup who's OK, FAILS, because that guy will be targeted all day. Why? Because today's base offense is 3 WR/TE/RB, or, 2WR/TE/2RB(one of which splits out), or, 2WR/2TE/RB(which plays hell with CBs who can't tackle/lack toughness/get schemed into trying to cover a TE who is bigger and taller, see: The Patriots Offense), or what we see more and more of: 4 WR/RB...as the crap college offense's spread package infects the NFL. So, for like the 500th time since 2005: we ALWAYS need CB, and today, there is no doubt that CB is more important than O line. Think! How many times have we had 2 CBs injured...and lost/nearly lost a game because we had backup practice squad/street FA coming in and trying to cover? 50 games at least in the last 10 years. That's 50 Ls. How many times have we been unable to put a team away by "pounding the rock" because, even if that works, on their next possession the other team gets it and throws 7 passes down the field for a TD, putting them right back in the game? That is exactly why CB is more important: you don't get to use your big O line/eat clock/run the ball/whatever....if you are constantly playing from behind/tied because the other team can throw on you all day. Now, you have to throw, just to keep up, thus completely defeating the purpose of building a run-fist team. Without a above-average secondary, you don't even get an opportunity to use your line, no matter how good it is. So, yeah, we always need CBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
