If you eat a bad year, you automatically gain insane leverage for both salary cap and draft ammunition. It just really puts a lot of emphasis on that draft class, but with the added value of putting extra value in your current draft solely by the virtue of being able to pick truly what you feel is the best player at that selection I’m still waiting to hear about Xs contract Amy Pole Her fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Mar 16, 2019 |

I'm actually changing my mind about Metcalf. I saw a good breakdown of his skillset that basically said as long as he runs the same limited route trees that Demaryius, Gordon, and Calvin Johnson mostly run then he can be very, very effective.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:It legit seems like the best way to become a legit contender as fast as possible. Billionaires are weird though. I guess they are too impatient to wait 3 years. There are a couple issues with this strategy, one being that it puts an insane amount of emphasis on one single draft and then nets you a team of rookies that likely won't even be that good the first year. Whereas if you draft well two years in a row, you'll have the first cohort with a year's experience under their belts by the time the second cohort comes in, which is good for a lot of reasons. Secondly, teams are expected to put a decent product on the field by the fans, the league and the team's sponsors. Maybe this isn't a huge deal but it's a factor.

I've always said that so long as you know what you're getting he's a perfectly fine pick. I still don't like him in the first round but wouldn't be too scandalized if he went late in the first. By the way is this what you were speaking of? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9EAnLHj2v4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btpgr6TL554 Also, a little piece on Bosa. I am STILL not convinced that Bosa should be the first D lineman taken. He's fantastic and should go very very high but I'm not sure he's a lock there Play fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Mar 18, 2019 |

I think what hurts Bosa is we didn't get tape on him from this season to see how he improved. Blitz7x posted:1. Bosa - Round 1 Yeah, seems good but I bet 5 or 6 end up going in the first because it's such a premier position.

Blitz7x posted:1. Bosa - Round 1 Gary, Ferrell, and Sweat all are likely going to go in round 1 off of demand. Gary's rawness is still so loving bizarre. Guys like Winovich, Taco Charlton, and Frank Clark all came out of Michigan with a pretty crazy arsenal of stuff, but Mattison just somehow never got through to Rashan for some reason. Guy looks the same as he did out of high school. If someone could actually teach him poo poo, he's like a Watt-level problem in terms of his measurables. Bosa had more sacks than him in 3 games than he had all season. Sweat's undervalued because he's not a guy you want dropping back at all. I don't get what this dude is talking about in terms of his moves being basic, guy has a rip and a long arm, and he can counter the two at will with a two hand rip or arm under. That's about all you actually need when you're as athletic as that dude. Ferrell is odd, because he flashes some plays where he looks like an absolute freak, but he takes plays off in the running game and will overrun an edge if a tackle is fast enough to move with him. A good coach that just calms him down and gets him to counter more would make him a freak. I'd rank them like this, personally. The dude I just don't get is Winovich. Normally, a guy with that production is some type of freak that just isn't technically closing or whatever else, but he's technically sound and just not that athletically impressive. It's like we're trying to convince ourselves he's raw talent when he looks like he's tapped out at this point. 1 Bosa 2 Allen 3 Burns 4 Sweat 5 Ferrell 6 Gary 7 Polite, 8 Miller 9 Winovich

Edge guys generally go before interior guys if the talent level is about equal. I'm not a Gary fan. If I had a team I would encourage them to stay away unless he falls significantly Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Yeah I like Kollmans stuff a lot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jQtdCgtWpc This guy seems to be an alternative to Gold/Kollman. I'm down, it's a good video with some decent insights. Best case scenario, Murray is effectively Baker Mayfield with much better running skills. His arm talent is really incredible for such a small dude Also a good video scouting report on Drew Lock by Samuel Gold. I'm not gonna lie, his mechanics bother me. His throwing motion is totally hosed imo, stiff front leg, tends to throw with his arm instead of his body and his legs which reduces accuracy. A decent prospect but he clearly needs some serious work. Not opposed to the Broncos taking him, definitely he gives a better chance to hit than most of the other guys they've drafted recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMZEx-9n9p4

I'm simply stating your evaluation goes against what everyone is saying. It's not like I'm pounding the table for the Bucs to draft him at 5 because I don't think he should go that high.

I've heard very little about RBs overall in this draft so far. Taking a look at him, he kind of does look like Saquon-lite. Got a decent jump cut and some other moves. His quickness and speed doesn't jump out at you nearly as much as Saquon does. Economic with his feet, he really takes as few steps as possible to get from one place to another. Sometimes he can set up defenders well. Stays low, very good base. Doesn't accelerate instantly but gets up to speed in a few steps. Not too powerful, and he'll be stopped dead and thrown back a lot more in the nfl. Probably better at running in the interior, an inside zone-based running scheme would be a very good fit

Sort of splits the difference between the two without being quite as fast or powerful as either one. Think like slightly better Tevin Coleman. He's going to be an awesome utility back, but I pity the team that tries to put him in a gap/power scheme instead of zone.

I mean, I suppose it was smart to pick Mayfield over Allen but it's also obvious I had the Rams who had very few picks, in the end I got them Calvin Ridley (probably would've been pretty helpful once they lost their slot guy) and with the 87th overall pick I actually chose the exact person the Rams did; Joseph Noteboom
