No, you took me out of context.
I said I watched all his snaps against Ohio State. You and others got your feelings hurt and now you’re saying “if you are going to criticize the move, be sure to include who was a better pick and why.”
An appropriate question to ask in response to what I actually wrote would be “well, what did you see exactly?” Not, “oh yeah….well….who would you have taken them!?!?!”
Sorry, I was just watching the Bulldogs and noticing how Dean and Cine both have the benefit of playing from the Georgia line.
That's what I am saying, though. Because we have to be realistic. We either trade up to get a top guy, or we stay put and risk the chance of not having the most value at any pick.
I kind of feel like we had more needs than to take a WR in the 3rd.
And I don't want a Jermaine Johnson kind of guy in Dallas. Dude is a headache waiting to happen.
Let's mentor the ones we have, and just stop it with that crap.
Those of us who like Tyler Smith see the apparent weaknesses in his game.. It's obvious he has squirrely technique. Some of us have looked past his highlight reels as well. Since he's our player now. It's just we don't feel the need to point them out because he's a young dude. Could be like a Jr. Sr. this year. Instead, he's in the NFL. I'm not trying to convince you his technique is great, and hopefully you're not trying to convince me he isn't athletic. I'm assuming a certain amount of knowledge here, so pardon me.
So I see why we'd be upset, if we picked earlier. But the board took a big drop in NFL-ready players, the kind we needed.
They never have valued safety... I don't think that's wise. But they've been doing that for decades, so I'm probably just not as offended by that as some are.
I really would have liked Smith, Williams, Travis Jones.. Or something like that. .just seems more like what we need. We're good enough in the passing game and didn't really need to draft Tolbert, since we were filling needs.
Or some argue that we did, and I can see that. But we did also land some nice FA talent to the roster for camp..
Would you rather have Travis Jones in the 2nd rather than Sam Williams? I guess that's what I"m asking, because I already see the weaknesses in Smith's game.
I can see him as an imperfect player, and still get on board with the pick. I guess I'm just more interested in who are better players and for what reasons, because I'm more entertained by challenging my own assumptions and status quo consensus than I am in just rolling with them.
