RedGold Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I can never hate drafting Moss, plays just like Hunt. Probably would have taken D. Taylor, But I think we got our starting RB in this round. He fits how our offense plays perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have an elite running game for cheap the next 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Well, that pick I don't understand at all ... but that's me. The DeAndre Washington signing makes any thought of a RB draft obsolete anyway ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also went down before the Washington signing was well publicized. I just wish we have Dugger. Then it would make fantastic sense.

J The Washington signing doesn't matter here .. but having virtually signed Taylor does. I consider value as "value to the team" - and at this point there was none. Just my thoughts. Will have to virtually deal with it. A late seventh left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I tried trading down but nothing materialized and Zack Moss had been my BPA for an entire round now. I knew many people on here liked Moss as well. Anyone else I would have drafted is still available at the start of the 5th round, so I'm trying to figure out if we can trade something to get an upcoming pick. We've seen how unstoppable our offense is when we have the threat of a dangerous running game. We also saw Andy Reid didn't abandon the run game in the superbowl and we won. The drafting of Taylor and Moss isn't about changing our team to a running team, it was about value. We got Moss out of a 5th round pick and Taylor out of our late 2nd which was basically a 3rd. Having both gives our offense a massive insurance policy from the standpoint that even if one of our RB gets hurt we still have 2 good ones that will keep defenses honest.

KC_Guy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 @Kirill don't get me wrong here. Going BPA is fine. But if the BPA available won't see the field at all for the foreseeable future it doesn't help much drafting him. And I think that's the case here - unless you cut some recent guys we considered competent at least. Stashing the PS? Do you think he'll pass waivers unclaimed?? Sorry, this was a spot to skip the BPA approach and go to to BVA ... Best Value Available ... for the team . and may be long term ... with two years as a backup or whatever. In the fourth you don't draft for immediate contribution but for ST and long term return. Fourth rounders compete with UDFA for backup jobs ... to build long term depth. Do you really want to usea draft spot to compete at position that seems to be set and at the back could be filled UDFA? It just doesn't make sense in my view.

This pick was not the problem. it was the one in round two. You cannot say that Moss won't see action. He immediately becomes the hammer. Go with a punter or WR. The WR class is so deep, there will still be 4th/5th round quality at the end of the draft. One I like is the other Cleveland, Tyrie.

onejayhawk Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I'd still rather have Dugger. He went the next pick. Looking at the available players, Shy Carter is the best player, but I doubt he makes it to us. ILB, Cam Brown or Markus Baily, are4th/5th type players and either would work. P Hofrichter and Mann are possibles. It's scary how many decent WR are left, but don't take one. That's where UDFA comes in.

RedGold Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 OG Michael Onwenu CB Essang Bassey DE Derek Tuszka P Michael Turk Are the names that kind of stuck out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Turk just went to Pittsburgh. There may be an issue with Shyheim Carter that I have not heard. He's a nickel/coverage safety type with good ball skills who rates a hundred picks higher. At this point, why not roll the dice? Bassey works too. ILB is another position we want and there are two decent ones on board, Cam Brown or Markus Baily. If you go P, I like Mann for Texas A&M.

J Lemieux played his whole career at LG, Onwenu played his whole career at RG. He's a depth pick to be the backup behind LDT. Protecting Mahomes is priority #1.
