elegantelliotoffen Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 at 11 like Jenkins or DRC and then trade for a pick between 20-35 to grab D Thomas, Sweed or Hardy. I think that Jauron/Modrak/Fewell value DB's over WR. If we leave the draft with Jenkins/DRC and Sweed/Hardy I will get a raging hardon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 With regards to DRC, I can't see using a high draft pick on a guy who has so much potential to be a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 With regards to DRC, I can't see using a high draft pick on a guy who has so much potential to be a bust. On the other hand, its going to be 50-50 regardless of who you choose, so taking the guy with huge potential does have its merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's as simple as being 50-50 then why do the teams bother to put so much effort in scouting? Because they take precautionary steps to minimize their risk. If you're choosing a track star who is extremely raw, isn't physical, can't tackle, hasn't played against top notch talent and has only one kidney....that's not exactly minimizing risk. If we were a team that could afford (talent-wise...not monetarily) to take a chance on a guy like this, then even I can admit that it would be fun to have the guy on the team. But we aint.

The point is to show that there is always a significant risk involved. Ultimately, I think that it comes down to choosing the guy who, if he hits anything close to his potential, will make the biggest positive impact on your team. The draft should be approached just like a game. You play to win. That doesn't mean that you get stupid, but sometimes you have to take risks to get ahead.

colin Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 i think we will go cb if the top of the draft goes as expected. a solid rook qb could really help us against the faketriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In space no one can hear Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Just a note about Mike Jenkins. According to Pro Football Weekly he's been "tased" before. I type this knowing full well that some will be "pro tase", while others will "say no to tased players". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hold off on ranting until this is clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 With regards to DRC, I can't see using a high draft pick on a guy who has so much potential to be a bust. Thing is, with his natural athletic ability and talent it seems some good coaching and a great work ethic could turn him into a star. He's super raw, but super talented. He did play against weak competition, but he was great at the combine and lit up the Senior Bowl, where he earned defensive MVP honours. He's high risk/high reward. But I think he'll be a solid starter and perhaps even a pro bowler come his third or fourth year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
