candyman93 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Imagine getting a pick 6 on a future NFL QB, but then proceeding to get torched for 3 TDs the rest of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Jordan Addison has been fantastic once again for USC. Would be amazing if he could slip and allow us to trade up for him. Also, this blew my mind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as a HS/Former HS coach, the kids who used to fight over/run to play RB are now slot WR. The kids who used to be dominant DBs are now running to play WR. Your best/most well rounded athlete who can throw is now playing QB starting at age 12. It's similar to the "Point Forward" era in the NBA with all of these talented bigs who are ball handlers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he parlayed it by taking a 2 down run stuffer DT who looks like Gilbert Brown/Tony Siragusa in a bygone era and a swing OL in the first round...yeah, great "analytics" there guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think analytics and investing in WR are mutually exclusive, I just think it excluded burning high picks on them. I do still think it’s perfectly fine and should be easy enough to find capable players R2/3. That said, maybe Berry needs to hand off WR duties to someone else. Every GM has strengths and weaknesses and I don’t love his assessments of pass catchers thus far. 2 minutes ago, MWil23 said: Then he parlayed it by taking a 2 down run stuffer DT who looks like Gilbert Brown/Tony Siragusa in a bygone era and a swing OL in the first round...yeah, great "analytics" there guys.

I will say that I wish we had prime Danny Shelton right now. He was great for us, albeit, severely limited. But I'd take him over the ragdolls we have in there now. I literally see dudes throwing our DT's around. It's embarrassing and while part of it is on coaching and technique, these dudes just aren't built to stop the run. That's on your decision-makers. We have zero big bodies right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Shelton did fairly well considering what he was asked to do. It wasn't a good pick in the top half of R1, for sure. But he wasn't atrocious as a 3-4 nose man. I just wouldn't have placed such high value on that kind of player unless it's Vea...which he was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 1994 and those dudes can be had day 2-3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
