Looking at it, the success rate of IDL that last into the second round has to be among the worst at any position. And even when they do hit, it’s not until year three or four. Mike Daniels!

I wasn't making any kind of prediction. You can't do that on this site. You mention any name regarding any prospect, football or basketball, and they take it as you're saying he is that player. When I do my stuff, I see who they model their games after and who they remind me of based on that style. It's never meant to be a direct comparison. Like, when I watched Tyler Harvey, a basketball player from Eastern Washington, I saw a left handed Steph Curry. It doesn't mean I thought he'd be the greatest shooter of all-time lol. Just means that he moves and plays like Steph does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshle_ Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I just don't see how incompetent BC would be to not use Dillion out of the backfield as a receiver. You get your best guys the ball at all times. We will see how well he is at catching it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, archaic coaching happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the wrinkle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I mean, if your offense is "run with AJ" 70% of the time, it is probably best that "throw to AJ" is less than 30% of your offense. Guy does need a break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Also, I demand that AJ wears number 50. For tradition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think we are going to have to cut some good ones even. Jones and Williams have both been capable starters, and we added Dillon. I also really like Damarea Crockett and Patrick Taylor. We also spent a 6th on Dexter Williams just last year. And re-signing Tyler Ervin. I think this is the best I have felt about the RB room since the days of Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, and Tony Fisher. Of course, I also liked the combo of Lacy and Starks, shows what I know Dillon probably doesn't get a huge workload this season. Dillon probably doesn't get a huge workload in 2021 either. We drafted him as a role player to offset Jones' skill-set and I strongly feel Dillon will make the best of it. Dillon's the kind of guy that will wear your DL down with body blows. I can't stress enough how strongly I feel about him being the kinda guy you stick in the line-up late in the game because you've worn the other team down and you need to ice the game. He can and WILL do that and much more. As for the rest of the room, I completely agree with you. "Excited" wouldn't be a word I'd use, but can certainly buy the hype. I can't see Crockett and Taylor making the team. Taylor's got Alex Green minus the straight-line speed written all over him. Not sure what I think about Crockett. He doesn't seem to have an extra gear from what I saw of him on tape, but he IS a bigger back at 224; doesn't play like hit IMO. I think D. Williams outshines them both mainly because he's got an extra year in MLF's system more than anything. He had his rookie moments during TC last year, but I felt his overall showing was pretty good. I think he could eventually emerge as a RB3 and may even overtake J. Williams on the roster at some point of J. Williams' performance begins to sag. Hot take: AJ Dillon can be Jerome Bettis if he plays his cards right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the running backs ... can't keep the two Williams straight; one has to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I was hoping we'd go back-to-back with RB's, but Darrynton Evans got snatched up the pick before Deguara was selected. Evans is going to be a star in this league if he can get some extra touches from Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I have no problems with this pick. I don't have a problem with the Love pick or grabbing a TE in the 3rd round. But to come away from this draft without a receiver in the first two or three rounds is inexcusable. They needed to make that a priority, and they didn't.

After Mims and Shenault were gone in Round two adding any of the remaining wide receivers was not going to upgrade the current WR group. So I was unsure of the first two picks but understand them after more thought. It was more shock than disappointment when the picks were made.

I was pretty crushed when Mims went off the board a few picks before us in round two. I had a feeling he would have been the pick if he was there, but who knows?
