I don’t like this idea of building a roster because you aren’t close. It doesn’t take long to contend in this league. Things change year to year. The objective is to add talent. Now I wouldn’t for Hunter. He’s a great player but is he a great receiver? Or a great corner? I think he’s a better corner than receiver but I don’t think you trade up for a corner.
Problem is you risk a potential franchise changing player giving up next years first.
He’s gonna have to chose one. You can’t play both at a high level let alone develop at 2.
They were talking on the draft show if he fell to 4 or 5. Pick 44 was close to the value to get up to #5
Our roster building is the worst part of our team. We draft fairly well except when we reach for need, but we do nothing in FA to make the team better and we wait on resigning our best players to increase the cost.
So because there’s a lack of blue chip talent, it will be cheaper to move up for one of the few consensus blue chip talents!
Still stupid. Because while you might not win this year how do you plan on putting a team around him when you don’t use FA and trade away a couple of prime picks?
That's definitely the risk you take. As I've said, I've kind of change my mind regarding the draft, understanding that the Joneses are not going to do whatever it takes to succeed. No matter if we draft well, it is not going to be enough. Now, I'm just for drafting players who have a chance to be game-changers. They won't win championships here because we won't surround them with talent, but I'd rather have a star to watch then a bunch of good players supplemented with bad ones in free agency.
Yea this is me .........especially for Hunter or Carter. You are adding both players to the team's ALL-PROs at WR and DE. You can't tell that dominant positional talent doesn't trickle down to the rest of the team.
And even if it doesn't, at this point I just want to watch good players play. I know a lot of our fans get tired of Parsons' antics, but I enjoy the challenge other teams have in handling him. I enjoy watching teams try to cover Lamb.
I think he would start at corner, getting a few series off, and come in on third downs as a receiver. They would just need to balance his load.
To me, this is how you take advantage of your ALL-PRO players. I mean, it's not hard for a team to use accessive resources to limit an ALL-PRO impact, but give him another ALL-PRO positional teammate, and watch opponents have nightmares (lol).
I don't disagree. Over the years i'll give this team their due. When they lost Diggs they put in Bland or took him from slot and didnt' miss a beat. They managed well when guys got hurt.
True. In some ways, I hate it for our players because when we do get one great one at a position we rarely pair them with anyone who can elevate their game by taking some of the pressure off them.
Going up and trading for those guys don't seem to work very well in this league. Not sure if its worth it. Seems like its best to follow your board then to trade up for a guy.
Notice though 2 out of the 3 were via free agency or trade. Then there's Higgins and Chase....which....I mean they stink right now as a team but that duo did make a SB.
I agree with you. But are we sure that standing pat won't get us a game changer? I've seen some scenarios where 1 or 2 do fall to us. But right now its tough to know because we have no idea what's going to happen with those QB's. Giants are kind of screwing things up not going QB.
