    Drop 20 spots back for next year's 2nd rounder? Lmao, that's not good.

     

    Seems like a panic move after everyone they like went off the board.

    Wrong. We still have pick 34. Probably saw one of the 8-9 guys we wanted would still be available due to the run on bizarro picks early on. Might as well trade back and get an extra second.

    I believe what you read was Leonard saying his playing weight in college was around 218. 

    No he specifically said during the season. His IG post also mentioned how big his chip on the shoulder was for being one of the best LBers in the league yet one of the lightest. Id have to find his post.

    Sorry, I don't take any injuries as a joke. Bob Sanders was one of the reasons we have a super bowl trophy and that ain't no joke. He may have a shortened career because of injuries but he gave everything he had when he was on the field.

    Nothing I said even hinted at him not being an amazing player. Dude was, however, crazy injury prone.

    This is the same crowd that wanted Hines cut and called him a for sure bust. Fountain has the skillset, the speed and the size thats necessary to excel. Im confident he will make the team and we will see what made Ballard draft him. I know a capable ball player when i see one. He will be fine. I remember Reggie Wayne not looking so smooth his first year. We will see a better player next season.

    Out of curiosity, what did you see that makes you think he's a capable ball player? Based off his time with us, not in college. Because I literally saw nothing from him, but that's just me.

    Oh I know it happens as far as "miss" on draft picks, but I suppose I would expect some sort of contribution. Pretty sure all of our other guys we drafted did have solid contribution, wouldnt you agree? Cain on IR the exception but I think he absolutely will. My point is, Fountain was a 2 star recruit to N Iowa, we couldve gotten EQ St.Brown a 4 star from Notre Dame. Same with Cain, a stud from Clemson. These arent project guys, they have played big boy ball before, and we shouldnt be surprised that Cain was showing out before injury. IMO project players are udfa. We had an exceptional draft and I cant wait too see what happens this year. 

    I wouldnt agree. Cain, Fountain, Adams, and Frankin had little to no contribution this year aside from a few tackles from Adams and Franklin. Also the star rank label players have is for highschool. Everything changes once they go to college. Ed Reed was a 2 or 3 star recruit while Ronald Powell was a 5 star recruit (ever heard of him?). As for Cain, lots of players show out in practices and preseason and amount to nothing (ex. Griff Whalen). Don't get me wrong, id love for Cain to be a solid contributor. I just wouldnt be surprised if he does nothing.

    Hope I am wrong but I think this will be a miss by Ballard. I ve said before, no more project players in the draft please. Would rather have guys who know how to do a job. Just my opinion.

    He was a late round pick. They almost always are "misses" if you expect any sort of solid contribution. Also, I hold the opinion that it's better to take projects at the end of the draft instead of mediocre players with decent college production.

  7. Whats with the backlash on his name? OP is calling him what most call him. Daurice even has Reece as his name on his Twitter...

     

    But besides that, I highly doubt his roster spot is safe. If he doesn't show SIGNIFICANT improvement and we add competition that perform better, he'll be cut.

    If we have another reciever that requires attention Ebron will have a linebacker on him. That is a huge mismatch. You can only cover so many.

    Ebron already plays with LBers mainly covering him... 

    His position gets covered by a LBer or safety or both. Happened this season and will happen again next season.

    If they can get another playmaker at receiver I can’t imagine the season Ebron will have. Especially with Doyle back. They will have so manny mismatches with having two wide receiver targets.

    I doubt it will be better than this year. I am willing to bet he won't have a better year than the one he just did. He managed 750 yards and 13 receiving TDs by being force fed targets because the only other threat was Hilton. Those TD numbers are aweosme, but I don't see them being replicated. Having other capable pass catchers will not lead to an increase in targets for Ebron. His efficiency with 110(?) targets was 750 yards and 13 TDs. Don't expect as many targets this time around if we get another playmaker.

    I've had more than my fair share of issues with BBZ over the years.    But what he wrote here is 100% accurate.   Completely factual.      Brown was the highest paid WR when he signed his deal.

     

    Bell has been the highest paid RB in the NFL for a number of years running.    And he's the highest paid by a wide, wide margin. 

     

    What he says is absolutely correct.      What do you disagree with?

     

    Isn't Gurley the highest paid? 

     

    Apparently his franchise tag would make him the highest paid this year, though his sit-out basically voided that money (please correct if wrong). In terms of guaranteed money he's behind Gurley, Johnson I believe, and maybe a few others.
