Elky Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Am I the only one who isn't overly happy with this pick? He's been alright, but Nick Chubb has been the superior runner and Darius Leonard would have filled a much bigger need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Isaiah Wynn was the the head scratcher. Michel would have been fine at 31 of they took Lamar Jackson at 21 or Calvin Ridley. Others made sense too, like Justin Reid, or IMO Mason Rudolph. I don't really think Leonard looks like such a missed opportunity if Ja'Whaun Bentley had remained healthy this season. I can't say the same for Wynn though, or Michel to some extent. This first round picks were befuddling. I hope Braxton Berrios turns out okay because Edelman is not getting re-signed after his contract is up. If Duke Dawson shows similar potential to Reid then that isn't so bad either. The pick that really sucks/is confusing to me is Isaiah Wynn. You had Ridley and a QB of the Future like Lamar Jackson on the board who everyone expected and feared the Patriots landing in their lap.

Elky Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't mind the Wynn pick because I value offensive lineman, especially versatile ones like Wynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRalph Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Draft a RB with a 1st Round Pick and let Dion Lewis walk for only $5m per year? Ridiculous waste of resources. Michel is painfully average as well. Don't see any game-breaking ability ala Kamara or Leveon Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m haynes Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Sony Michel is good player with that said I hate taking a RB in the 1st RD. I don't care how good he can play. Look at the Giants they take Saquon Barkley a great player however I would of taken Quenton Nelson and drafted Nick Cubbs in the 2nd round. I also don't understand drafting a RB when it was a position of strength. I understand we had injuries but we had 4/5 RB on the roster. Just look at the players we passed on for a RB! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2018/draft.htm I had no complaints with the Wynn pick, if he comes back 100% IMO he going to be a heck of a player.

Asciimo Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 just another poor BB draft that we will be regretting in 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on a team with so many defensive needs. Like basically a brand new front 7 Then the issue here is not Sony Michel but rather the guy that drafted him. Ultimately, Sony has looked fine for a rookie. You want some perspective? How about we compare two rookie seasons; Le’veon Bell: 13 games started 860 yards 3.5 ypc 8 TDs Sony: 7 games started 765 yards 4.3 ypc 5TDs Todd Gurley; 12 games started 1106 yards 4.8 ypc 10 TDs Not all backs/players look elite on their first season, some do but not all, that expectation is silly.

AlNFL19 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sure, Sony isn't the most creative runner and that leads to a lot of 4-5 yard carries, but he's a good back. He's way better than Dion Lewis. He's a real lead back, and if the line stops holding every time he gets to the second level, his stats would reflect that. Plus, we don't know the status of his knee totally. It could be that he is a better lateral-movement back than we think, and I think that might be the case. Even if it isn't, Sony was 100% worth the pick I think. I don't think you need an All-Pro if you're drafting an RB at the bottom of Round 1 - the running back position isn't really "dying." He's the best running back we've had since at least Corey Dillon, I think, not "painfully average." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sony was a good pick as was Wynn imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieMonstah Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Wynn was the worse pick. We need a WR who can separate in the worst way, Calvin Ridley was right there for the taking. Ridley and Sony would've been the hell of a 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
