I cant believe the Browns held control of the draft and still spoiled it...

Trading up for Lamar Jackson in the first, now there's a nutty pick.  

 

Not if a team believes in Lamar Jackson.

 

If you believe he is your future quarterback then you take him in the first round to have the fifth year option. 

 

He could be a dud or not. But it is a different conversation. I am about 50/50 on that. The Ravens will need to incorporate a spread offense him though. At least for the first few years....

You would think GM's know more than us average fans so maybe Dorsey knows something we don't. I don't see it though. IMO Darnold will be better than Mayfield and Chubb will be better than Ward.

 

I think so too, though there were positional needs at play here, when it comes to Chubb vs. Ward.

Agreed.  To secure the fifth year option is a good reason to trade up.  Hopefully he works out in whatever specialized offense they plan to build around him.  Sounds a bit risky though.

I can’t say Dorsey made the wrong selections , only time will answer that -but I certainly wouldn’t have taken Mayfield and Ward. 

 

I’m pretty sure when the Jets traded for our pick , they didn’t think there was a chance in hell Darnold would be available.

We basically did the same thing.  Couldn't get the need at the proper value so we took the player we needed anyway instead of rummaging through what's left in the early second round.

This doesn’t make any since, not only because Nelson was graded the BEST player in the draft, but the idea that any player at the early stages of round 2 would even compare to him. C’mon man

I agree. Jets fans are elated today.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Solid84 · Posted

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.

      What team will have the most fans this Sunday ?

      By cdgacoltsfan · Posted

      Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
