He won't answer this until mid season, when he sees who is playing well that got picked after 13 at one of our positions of need then claim he liked so and so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been v. happy with Fuaga as we have struggled to have a competent long term option at the position - but it’s better to spend 13 on a real difference maker if possible. Would be a real positive for both the future if Glaze takes that spot and a good sign that Telesco can spot something in players who were not high on most pundits and draftniks boards… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can impact a game by simply drawing coverage. I think he gets somewhere around 55 catches 750 yards and 7TDs this year, to answer you little question. Be a difference maker on 3rd down and Red Zone, turn small gains into big plays. High completion percentage on his targets. That’s what I’m looking at for him, year 1. Honestly that’s what I tell my kids “everyone wants to be great but I want great difference makers” does it make a difference if you’re out there or not? Sure you can play great cause of talent or size or attributes a lot of players have that but are you a difference maker can you inspire your teammates. I’ll take difference makers over great players all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaze has looked like a future long term starter and should be RT1 heading into the season. That’s exactly how the draft is supposed to work Instead of over spending for RT at #13 , we potentially picked up a stud Playmaker. Odds are slim to none we wouldn’t find a player of Bowers Caliber in the 3rd round. Edited August 25 by bucksavage1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 32 of this thread is hilarious. @Frankie2Gunz showed his true colors, then tucked his tail and ran. He's probably just making a ton of cash in the stock market with the extra time on his hands. I will meme those exchanges for life on this forum. Of course he will be back after the first bad performance using his valuable time to tell us what a dumpster fire organization this is. Can't wait. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the parameters are that we can only pick guys who are available and that our other picks change: On the spot, I would have gotten the OL secured with Fuaga. In that case, Glaze wouldn't be the choice. I would have replaced him with Christian Haynes (OG from UConn who went at 81 to the Seahawks). I don't hate Bowers or the pick, but an offensive weapon just isn't where I would've gone. I'm willing to gladly admit his individual impact potential is higher than both Fuaga and Haynes combined. But I, personally, would've likely taken a route more along building the OL in preparation for the QB next year, once the QBs were off the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait. of course will he have found the time to evaluate the draft class by midseason. and if he had the time to scout the guys that panned out by midseason, he would've "pounded the table" to draft them.
