Blue Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Lavonte David is only a great pick at this point if you're totally ignoring the "building a team for the next 7-10 years" aspect of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a way to team build with 30 year olds on your roster Case in point: every dynasty, super bowl winner, conference championship team for the last ever 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are these things called drafts where you get new players to replace the old ones. David is still a top LB and likely has 3-4 years left in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David is still a top LB and likely has 3-4 years left in him I am aware. 3-4 years is significantly less than 7. The fact that you have to plan on replacing him as soon as you take him is exactly why I don't consider it a great pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he can be for the next 3-4 years. And then you plan for such events with your depth chart by having younger guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 So I should take a 24 year old who isn’t good that I have to replace in 3-4 years because he isn’t good? Nah fam. I’ll take the 30 year old stud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah fam. I’ll take the 30 year old stud There are plenty of good young linebackers still available. This doesn't mean I think David was a terrible selection, I just don't think it deserves to be called "great" at this point because there are younger guys still available to build around.

Ragnarok Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 DeCastro is a very nice choice. I was seriously considering him when I went Trai....youth wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a young LBer behind David then he's planning for those last 3-4 years, which I'm sure is the plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I don't know what's confusing here. If you're going to replace him with a younger player halfway through the stated time frame...why not just take the younger player. That's just how I'm looking at it, y'all do you. It's your team(s)! Edited June 13, 2020 by Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
