Not surprising since Shaq has been all potential thus far. Does Shaq have the same upside as Ragland, where a change in defensive scheme will do him good? I doubt I'd expect more than a 5th round trade from him, and would probably make more sense to make a player for player trade with another team.

YoloinOhio Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That draft class :( Just now, Happy Gilmore said: Not surprising since Shaq has been all potential thus far.

I doubt I'd expect more than a 5th round trade from him, and would probably make more sense to make a player for player trade with another team. Sal said he thinks he could be worth something just as a young former 1st rounder. He’s Trent Murphy’s backup right now but that Odiggy guy they signed in FA could easily take his place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could dig up the draft day thread, when the pick happened I predicted it was the end of Doug Whaley, I got roasted... Yet another Whaley gem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I think it is a little early to write any player off from the roster. We are what 2-3 days into minicamp with not very many days in pads yet. Lawson is make or break this training camp/pre-season. But lets give the kid a week or two into camp to see just how he is doing. Lawson looks to be in great shape after an off-season of hard work. I think he has a chance to show some value.

Bill_with_it Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 One your a one trick pony that isn’t the best one trick you get neutralized. I still maintain that just as I did when we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) It’s turned out to be dud pick but didn’t seem a reach at the time... lots of “experts” had him going in the teens... Just goes to show that a lot of us buy into the draft hype.. Edited July 28, 2018 by Aussie Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 As we sit here now with Lawson on the brink of being cut, I wonder how many people applauded his selection on draft day? Quite a few! His story is a sobering reminder: don't get too excited on draft day or caught up in who won the draft and who lost....only time will tell, and most selections are a crap shoot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I don't see DT Washington making the roster. He will be dealt for a bag of peanuts. McDermott is cleaining out the Whaley/Rex cupboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show that a lot of us buy into the draft hype.. It also goes to show that your pick could be rated as an A by all the prognosticators and be a bust. I am not willing to write Shaq of just because 2-3 days into training camp he isn't dominating, in 10 games last season Shaq had 4 sacks that is roughly 6.5 if he played the entire 16 games, which for a player in his second year coming off of an injury isn't that bad. Toss in the fact that he graded out decently against the run and I think you can have some hope for him. I think this idea of Shaq being toast at the moment is premature, certainly a make or break camp/pre-season but nothing so far to me indicates he is a goner just yet too early to tell in my opinion.

I would actually be surprised if he was straight up released with nothing in return. He’s cheap depth if nothing else. But not surprised at all if he was moved out for a draft pick.

He didn't draft Manuel, didn't hire Rex, now didn't draft Lawson. Doug Whaley was horrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuru4 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I was a fan of the pick, I’m very sad it’s not working out and am willing to give another year to make sure. It’s nice that we don’t need to depend on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
