Seperately, the Eagles drafting Bijan at 10 would be insane.
Emmitt Smith (NFL MVP)
Lane Johnson was a Top 5 pick. They stand a good chance of taking Skoronski if he's there at 10 if you believe the rumors (and Carter or Van Ness isn't there).
Problem is the guys who won SBs on your list played decades ago.
My point is, I think only Terrell Davis and Emmitt Smith can you actually say were a huge part in the team getting to and winning a SB. The rest I believe played a role, just a smaller one. When people bring up the '85 Bears, no one's thinking Walter Peyton.
The player taken directly after him was Tee Higgins. So yeah, I can see them winning lol
History doesnt agree with you. And if you get a guard in the first then the 4th round back will have an easier time.
The new mindset is you need to get 10 years out of your first round pick and RBs rarely last that long. Also, the numbers show that rb’s taken in the later rounds, are just as productive. With that said, if I thought I could get a star talent for 5-6 years, its worth a pick in the 20’s IMO
Zeke Elliot and his career arc is scary. Such hope when they got him but it ended up being a wasted career. 27 years old and washed up. RBs in general don’t last. That’s why.
Well they aren't going to last if you give them 800 carries that's for sure. How about not run them into the ground? You see how Derrick Henry is still out here...he started in a tandem with Murray.
Yeah that's the mindset but I don't think people are being realistic of how many of those years will be prime years. I believe out of a running back I will get 4 or 5 prime years out of him on his rookie deal. For example I got Byron Jones and he was a success as was Randy Gregory...probably got 1 or 2 of their prime years....Anthony Hitfchens as well. I think everyone thinks ok 1st round pick its gonna have a Micah Parsons impact. Come out the gate and will be dominate. Just not seeing it.
Like your thinking.
They don't but in the SB I saw the Chiefs rely on their run game...granted it was a 7th round rookie but RB's still matter.
I can say the same about guard. The best guards in this league are 2nd and 3rd round picks. Not 1st rounders.
Ok, but what is the history of first round guards? And what is the history of tackles taken in the first round switched to guard? I would look more at that.
Come on man Zeke was his own worst enemy. TE, G and DT are bigger needs. Bigsby as a 3rd rounder is a no brainer.
What do you mean by his own worst enemy? HIs body broke down just like Romo's did....
