That's a luxury pick a team without the holes we have would make. Landing a great defensive player would make a bigger impact. |
If there was a great defensive player worth landing it would be the better pick, but there is no Ndamukong Suh, Von Miller or Patrick Peterson type prospect. Star Lotulelei and Damontre Moore aren't very good, and Jarvis Jones has spinal stenosis.
I'm all for trading down and acquiring picks and selecting defensive players, but at pick 3 Luke Joeckel is the BPA. |
I highly disagree. And I hate people saying there's no "such and such type prospect". Where was all the hype for JPP, Aldon Smith, Clay Matthews, Darrell Revis, or JJ Watt coming out? Just because a prospect isn't considered the absolute best of the past decade at his position, doesn't mean he isn't very good or have a bright future ahead.

McFadden did that LAST YEAR. With Veldheer on the team. And a competent OC. We've been there and done that, but took a step back because of that stupid stupid stupid stupid Krapp. |
And he could look EVEN BETTER with a dominant offensive line, wouldn't you want to see that? |

Well, evidently, it does. This is terrible to have to keep repeating. I just hope we draft Star so this nonsense stops.

By bringing up Suh, Miller and Peterson I meant prospects that had elite production and elite physical traits, A truly elite prospect.
all the prospects you named had elite physical traits but were missing the elite production in college, once they got to the nfl they refined their skills and produced at an elite level.

I was done with your ridiculous train of thought, not other posters with sense.

drafting the best player available isn't ridiculous at all. it's the best strategy. I assume you would've passed on Andrew Luck because we had Carson Palmer and QB isn't a position of need?

Star doesn't fit that category? How about Sheldon? We might have 1st choice of all the defensive players from this years draft. Our front office needs to identify who the best defensive player is going to be.

Bad example buddy, having Carson Palmer makes need for a QB high. But having Velheer at LT who is only in his 3rd year and been pretty good make need for LT low.

No.
I'm sure our front office will identify who the best defensive player will be, I'm also pretty sure they will realize Luke Joeckel is the better prospect and it would be stupid to pass on him for a lesser prospect.

Star doesn't have elite physical traits? What? Same can be said for Richardson, who actually had elite production to go with his elite athleticism.

No, they don't have elite production, I wasn't talking about their physical traits.

Sheldon Richardson didn't have elite production? Did you watch him?

I would consider his production very good but not elite.
