Sure, outside of the first round. and even then, I'm probably gonna be salty about it in the third or with a 2nd acquired in a tradeback. This team has to stop immediately replacing assets year after year.
This argument only checks out in the situation that you're getting a superstar and the other guy is awful. In the case where you grade these guys evenly, it's silly. Would you rather have a really good Wirfs for every snap of the ball, or a great Lamb for 30% of the snaps?
Just force Isabella to run nothing but go patterns then.
it still kinda frustrates me that Isabella and Butler (he probably would have been healthy by week 6) development year was backing up Cooper and Byrd.
Honestly, the more I think about it, if Simmons, Brown or Okudah doesn't fall to us at #8, then trade down. Out of those 3, Brown probably has the best chance at falling to us at #8. We can guess all day but it only depends on who GMs drafting in front of us like better. Strange things happen on players falling. If we trade down to number 11 or 12, we can gain that 2nd rd pick back & still get a good player. I have no idea which of the top 5 OT's will pan out, if any? If you listen to the talking heads, they all have flaws to cause concern. Honestly, we have a RT right now with a full season as a starter who played well in most games (Justin Murray) I will take that in 2020 over an unproven rookie RT any day. We need draft picks at this point, we're almost out of money to spend. More in the higher rounds of this draft. I have more faith in Justin Murray than a lot of people on this board. He's had his dud games but played well in more games than not. Started our first game after being with the team for 3 whole days, played well. He has potential & the coaching staff likes him.
Yeah, I have no idea why you're so sold on Justin Murray. He's been passed around multiple teams because he's not good enough. He's simply a limited player and I think you need to go back and watch him take actual snaps. Game Pass is free right now, why not?
So for the sake of demonstration let’s say Wirfs grades out at 7.9 but Okudah grades out at 9.3. Are you saying Wirfs is the right way to go even though Okudah is more of a sure thing?
If those grades were correct, I would take Okudah. However, if it was 8.5 for Wirfs and 8.8 for Okudah, I'm taking Wirfs. We are more likely to win games keeping my #1 overall draft pick clean to make 100% of the plays in the high octane offense my team is built around, as opposed to having a #3/4 CB to play maybe 50% of snaps.
I get your logic. I just don’t want us to draft an inferior player based on need.
Yeah and I get where you're coming from, it's not sexy or fun to take a right tackle with a top ten pick. You want the guy who gets his name called, not the one that only gets mentioned when something bad happens.
I know he's been passed around by a few teams, I also know there's no guarantees on any players transition into the league. Murray started all but 2 games for us in 2019, that's experience a rookie can't give us in 2020. The job he did coming in against Lions after being with the team only 3 days was amazing, I believe Sean Kugler can improve him even more. We need draft picks right now to fill holes because we're about out of money. I'm saying forget right tackle with pick #8, trade down, get our 2nd rd pick back then decide at #11 or #12. BPA at that point. Hell, trade down in the 2nd rd & gain an extra 3rd rd pick. That would give us two 3rds & two 4ths I believe. Justin Murray will be fine man.
