Aside from whether you'd draft him at 12 or not, any problem with his "$100 million" comment? I have a problem with it. It shows he cares more about the money. We've seen how that is a distraction time and time again. It never ends well. That's why you hear Gute talking about guys who love football. Guys that have football oriented goals. It's one of the things teams try to find out when interviewing. It's why TT stated one of the most important things about the combine was seeing the interaction between players. I assume players that were chatting about "show me the money" were crossed off the list. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So are dumb comments like White's. Is he the next Antonio Brown ? Why take the chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 So, I was trying to come up with a "No. 12" board of players I think Gute would consider for the No. 12 pick (assuming he had to take a player and couldn't trade out). Came up with 17 players that I think Gute would find at least worthy of consideration at 12 and tried to guess the possible order of those players on his board: 1. Nick Bosa (EDGE) 2. Quinnen Williams (IDL) 3. Josh Allen (EDGE) 4. Jawaan Taylor (OT) 5. Ed Oliver (IDL) 6. Devin White (ILB) 7. Montez Sweat (EDGE) 8. Rashan Gary (EDGE/IDL) 9. Brian Burns (EDGE) 10. Andre Dillard (OT) 11. Greedy Williams (CB) 12. Jonah Williams (OG/OT) 13. T.J. Hockenson (TE) 14. Devin Bush (ILB) 15. Noah Fant (TE) 16. Christian Wilkins (IDL) 17. Jerry Tillery (IDL) No QB, RB, WR or SAF on the board for No. 12. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the opinion, but here's why I'm wanting the position at 12: From all that seems sacred, good EDGE guys are like the proverbial drop of water in the desert. Tough to find - they dont hit FA - or if they do, you've got to overpay to snag them. IDL guys seem more readily available. (A personal perspective - not offered as a statistical fact). I like our FA guys - not dissing them - but outside of them - we're down to bare bones. Kyler? Part of the mix....but I think we can get a front line guy. So - why not LOAD UP now - create a diverse group that can move up and down the line (not Burns) - and get after the GD QB? Smoke him out. Knock him down. Kill off the EDGE/IDL package - now - when we've got the ability (read: high draft slot) to do it. We've been kicking this can down the line for years now. Manning EDGE with lesser talents (IMO). It's time and we have the opportunity to insure ourselves for years to come. Oliver? I came on to him late - but from many (if not all) observers, the guys got the goods. So if Burns goes early - I'd have no problem nabbing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
