Almost any position outside of RB. WR Stephen Hill, WR Kendall Wright, DT, OL, TE (Fleener), DB, etc. I'm sure there will be better players on the board at a few, if not all, of these positions. RBs not named Adrian Peterson/Trent Richardson are a dime a dozen.

So you look at our two RB's, sit back and say..."yup...nailed it! Those guys are going to be the solution for our running game woes! Don't need any more."?

Your first examples, (Hill, Wright, Fleener). I don't know about them being available until round 2...we def don't need a TE in the 2nd.

We just picked up 5-6 lineman in free agency, drafted 2 last year in rounds 1 and 2 and you think we should take an OL in the second round this year? Someone needs to be fired if you are investing that much into your line.

do you think anyone outside of Richardson will be the cure for our running back woes? if things workout like I expect this year we will get a top 10 or higher draft pick next year, Im taking Montee Ball then, Ill settle for a running back in the late rounds this year

Outside of Sam Satele all the Oline signings have been average/below average guys. Someone needs to be fired if you don't invest heavily in Oline, especially when you're going to have a young QB depending on said Oline. Our guard spot is especially iffy.

So, yes, oline is much more important than 2 crappy overhyped RBs. I had season tickets to Canes games and watched Lamar Miller carry the ball 10 times for 8 yards and then break an 80 yard run. He's a one trick deep threat, who gets tackled by the grass.

they are just filling spots for every position so they can go BPA on each round IMO. you cant go BPA if you dont even have the players to complete a team.

with the amount of needs this team have, i kinda agree with going BPA every single round

Spot on.

This might already be news to all, but what do you guys think of the TE Kyle Miller added. He went to Mount Union the same school Garcon was from and the same school a friend of mine is currently attending Nick Driskill. Its kind of cool for me knowing Driskill and hopefully being able to watch someone he went to college with in a colts uniform.

Miller was picked up by jacksonville along with another mt union player Cecil shorts. but then was released, so to me it doesnt appear he will be a started but more added for just depth, yes?

I still think that if Fleener falls to 34, we have to take him. Eldridge is not a receiving TE. We lost both of ours this offseason. If we can not only get a very good prospect at TE who can catch the ball, but also a guy that our new Quarterback played with in college, it would be a no-brainer of a pick.

The new Rutgers?! As long as they aren't Big 10 crazy. I remember crunching the #s, I think it was the beginning of this last year. Between Rutgers,Big Ten, and Syracuse? I think it accounted for over 58% percent of our roster. 7 schools accounted for over half of our entire team. Unreal.

He was a big time receiver at small time Mount Union, so it's not out of the question that's he is around as a potential TE.

He caught 62 passes for 872 yards and 7 TDs in his last season. You like small school players to dominate if they are to have any potential in the NFL, and that's pretty dominant from a small school TE.

I don't think he'll be crazy good or something, but I think it's foolish to write him off as just a LS candidate.

      I hope we keep Toppin, I didn't think we would. Paul George went to Philly for 4 years/212 Mill, so now we have them to deal with as well besides Boston, NY, and Milwaukee. I thought we were better than Philly before the George deal, not sure now.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By TheNewGuy · Posted

      Thank you for your response and thank you for enlightening myself regarding Partridge. I recall his signing but didn't know much about him until I joined this forum and read several of your posts speaking highly of him. Thank you!  I have researched him since then and have to agree with you, it is likely that his fingerprints were on this signing.    Davis' contract is such that there is no guaranteed money in his 2nd year, with a cap savings of nearly 6.5 million, so there is an out if needed. https://overthecap.com/player/raekwon-davis/8796    I have to think that his main responsibility is as Grover's back up...we all saw how much he was missed last season. Though, this is where Partridge comes in, there may be additional duties. One thing that struck me was when Partridge said (paraphrased) "that he could get Grover some more sacks.". Does that mean he plans to alter the DL scheme, and if so, could the same benefit apply to Davis? Not to mention @Douzer's thoughts of using both Davis and Grover on 3rd and short plus goal line situations...like you said, I am looking forward to watching it play out as well.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.
