So, they picked a guy in round 2 they don't expect to start? I'm not sure I get this......but then, I've never understood their approach to the OL.....

Seems like a good draft, though I didn't pay attn to the players at all this year. But, I like the positions (though I would have preferred DL in round 1, not WR). 

I think he’ll start midway through the season. Kind of like we did with O’Neill, which turned out great. But you never know, if Reiff has a solid year I don’t mind red- shirting him for the year. Either way, I think this is Reiff’s last year. Especially since we need to give Dalvin that big extension.

You wouldn’t give Dalvin an extension? Sure glad you’re not the GM.

No. Running backs aren’t worth big contracts.

Dude Dalvin is a top 5 RB, we’re a run-heavy team and he’s great in the passing game. We better give him that extension. You don’t think a skill position player is worth a big extension? I don’t get that ideology. It’s called skill position for a reason. These guys are the most important players, they need to be paid.

Best not derail this thread, but I agree with ol Danny

Might as well derail this whole forum if y’all don’t think Dalvin Cook should be re-signed. Not re-signing a MVP type player before he’s even hit his prime is just idiotic. With all due respect, it’s just dumb. Luckily I think Spielman is smarter than that and he’ll get the deal done.

This thread has definitely shown... something. 
 

thanks for the entertainment.

That's what Rams fans were probably saying about Gurley too

Thank you, brain wasn't allowing me to think of others at the moment.

They didn't expect O'Neal to start right away either and that's worked out pretty well so far

I don’t know what they were saying about Gurley but you re-sign your best players. Teams that don’t do that, end up being laughing stocks of the league. We are not that team. We gave AD an extension and he was a running who was injury prone. You know why we did that? Because he was special. You don’t let special players get away. Gurley has a degenerate knee, thankfully Dalvin doesn’t have those medical problems. You can’t compare those two at this point.

Correct, his three year, clean bill of health career so far has given no indications of future injury issues.

No. Concerns.
