As fans we all have opinions, some we may agree some we definitely do not. The fact is no one, not any fan, not any analyst and heck really not any coach will know if any of these guys will work out for us. Some of us watch tape like the coaches and have a feel for what MAY happen, others just speculate because they like or do not like the choice and who they would have picked. Means nothing now or ever.
If you look at the draft, it is no different for any team. About half of all 1st round picks fail and out of the whole draft less than 40 percent are still with the team after 3 years. What does that say, it says every team screws up in some way. If we hit on 3 or 4 guys, I would be perfectly happy and more would be great. The key for any team is getting people that actually fit your scheme and as you can tell with Oakland with the trading and cutting of guys pre-Gruden says all you need to know about them fitting a scheme.
Is Hill going to be a great 3 tech for us, maybe yes, maybe no but from a scheme fit it works for them at this moment. Should we have taken a safety, well we can debate it till we turn blue but appartently a strong safety isn't in the cards as an early pick. Is Jackson what Richard needs along with Wilson and Westry? Maybe and willing to give him the benefit of the doubt over any doubters because he has taken those UDFA and late round picks and made pro bowlers out of them like Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor. With the new NFL passing offenses, big secondary is almost a must.
Speaking of offense, which of you knowledgeable fans know anything about what kind of offense we are going to run with Moore as the OC? Zero is the answer! How do know Elliott is a two down back and Pollard the 3rd down back? What if they are both in the backfield at the same time? Weber is probably the Elliott rest guy because Zeke will get at least 80 percent of the snaps. Everyone giving up on Taco and maybe rightly so but that is what training camp is to determine.
There are a ton of questions to answer about the rookies and some of the vets with more to be determined over the next 3 months. We will see who makes it, who they screwed up on, and who will actually make the team, until then it is just specualtion about likes and dislikes. Heck this board would have torn down Staubach back in the day, just opinions nothing more.
