Looking at Sony Michel, Phillip Lindsay, and Pat Freiermuth as sleepers later in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 yeah waller is a good pick in the 2nd half of round 2, or even mid round 2 in full PPR formats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Have rewatched some more all 22 of some of our losses. If Carr can make more out of schedule plays/use his feet more, he can be an easy top 10 qb. In the games he did use his feet and run, teams weren't able to handle it. He needs to be more proactive about it and also be more willing to immediately scramble to his right if he feels like protection is breaking down. Obviously some of that is intuition, but he has the speed to get to the corner on a lot of LB. Maybe not Devin white, but not every LB is. Also I'm hoping Gruden lets him be more aggressive in terms of getting more intermediate looks instead of only short/deep passes. An improved defense should help with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my theory was right, that we toned it down a bit to avoid mistakes and to keep the defense off the field then i think the offense in general will be more aggressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. I think we can let it loose if we have some confidence in getting stops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very high on him in college. He was a man amongst boys in the SEC. If he can pick up some route running savvy and stay healthy, I think he'll be in the league a while. I don't know what his ceiling is. That is really the mystery. Can he be a decent starter, or can he be something more than that. We'll see.

But with 5 mins left in a game we are down 2 scores carr seems to get sloppy and let things spiral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with us being what top 10 in points scored, how the heck are we so often 2 scores down late in games. . . and still top 10 in points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll rush for 40 yd and catch 3-5 passes for another 40 yd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought when reading this back and forth was Anquan Boldin getting blasted at the goal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
