It's where value and availability meet, at least at this point of "draft season".
I'm still hoping for JSN or one of the top 3 Corners to slip and would even consider Deonte Banks.
You may not like it, but if Bijan somehow slips to 26, you have to think about that seriously.
- Pollard is on a 1-year deal and knows this team can’t (absolutely should not) Franchise Tag him a second year.
- If Zeke doesn't take a pay cut, you can make him a June 1 cut and save $10.9M in cap room.
- The argument of you don't take a RB in the 1st round is too arbitrary. You probably don't take a sure-thing, bell cow RB at #4 overall, but adding a top 5 talent, playmaker at 26 is an extremely rare opportunity.
Picking in the last first means too many variables that are out of your control, especially since Jerry and Stephen are not great at negotiating on draft day (Jerry is impatient, Stephen is stingy). That being said, knowing who the players (Front Office) are, I would not be surprised at all if the team "feels" TE is the pick at this stage in the process.
For those of you who like to bash Broaddus, he's been "on" players going into the first round quite a few times because he knows how the team thinks and talks with them daily. He nailed Zack Martin, Byron Jones, and Taco (not that we should pick, that we would), and he also had K'Lavon Chaisson, who the team later admitted was going to be the pick before CeeDee Lamb fell into the team's lap.
I think a good chunk of you don't like Broaddus because he is critical of the "brain trust" here and was fired for it. Another chunk of you don't like him because he's crusty and can be condescending to fans, which is he is. I find he is right way more than he is wrong.
