Hypothetical:  If Peterman passes to Zay alone in the woods, does it get picked off before it can be dropped?

no

 he is scared of something.

Maybe he hears a pounding of demons cleats coming to tackle him  ,in his head. 

Go raiders

I'm happy that the GM/Coach can admit when they don't hit on a draft pick. Now I'm wondering if Beane will still fall in love with certain prospects and continue to bundle picks and trade up?

-Zay was a good guy so of course,  best of luck.

Adios, have fun in Vegas. It's clear he never bought in here.

 

I don't think buying in was the problem.  I think Zay is a guy who excelled against a lower level of DI competition and struggled to transition to the NFL game.

He does the right thing - knows who to block, knows what route to run - but he doesn't have that extra level he needs, whether it's fire or focus or what.

 

But we'll see

Makes sense.  Williams is a bigger body for the dirty work and contested catches.  McKenzie, and Fosters speed needs to be on the field.  I thought with the Wr around him, Zay would have a big year.  That was not the case.

Zay's production on the field will not be missed. Its hard to imagine there are many receivers in the NFL that would catch less passes with as many targets.

Frankly it is a good buy low opportunity for whichever team decided to give him a go.

 

I totally agree with that. He’s had some issues. We’ve all seen and read “stuff”, but if he gets it together it could be a great deal. 

 

I never liked Gruden, but I did like Mayock. I’m conflicted, but forget that jerk!

better than your average trolling. not great , a bit obvious, but your other work sets a low bar. 

How would you describe your contributions on TBD, if not trolling with heaping dose of crusading? How many vacations have you earned?

Rumor had it McD was making the pics with Whaley's board.  But I think McD was accepting other input - from, say, Zay's college WR coach.

 

There is also a rumor that Coach McD was just front man for Beane and Beane made all of the picks but I think those saying that wear tin foil hats to prevent aliens from reading their thoughts.

Good luck Zay, I wanted to draft you but sadly the stay was disappointing. 

Should've been smarter than that and wanted Kupp instead like I did... now I look like a genius:lol:

Wow, I was kind of hoping for more than a 5th 2 years from now, but it’s better than cutting him for nothing. I can’t imagine there was a very high demand for Zay Jones. I’m actually somewhat surprised Beane got anything. 

what we got was a decent #3 receiver in Duke WIlliams.  Good trade IMO.

This is why I don’t put a premium on trading draft picks.   That’s a terrible turnaround for a 2nd round pick in just two seasons. 

 

It’s a crapshoot sometimes and they had to take what they could get.  
 

But I’d gladly trade picks for proven young players, like a Diggs.  If a 2nd got it done, I’ll take the sure thing over a potential Zay situation again.
