What are we going to use Sanders for? He's not a power back. He's better suited for quick passes out of the backfield as he works better in space. Again, we lack a power back.

Or Estime.

Yes, but I remember the days where we had a QB that was a threat to run and a QB sneak was a high percentage play. Mobility is nice a nice trait, but when that mobility can used against the defense and not just as it pertains to the pocket, that's even better.

This is why I have decided it's okay to move back. You have SEVEN guys graded within a point of one another. Move back a handful of spots, no more than 10, and recoup some draft capital.

I'm not sure, but players get 40 timed throughout their college career, it's not just a combine thing. That said, yes, it could be bogus if it's an unofficial number. I trust the combine numbers over pro days, or any other event, where players get measured & timed.

I got a couple of guys in mind for the draft, but Chuba was the best back in a bad RB stable. Being the tallest midget isn't exactly awe inspiring. Hubbard has improved, but again, he's not a bell cow RB. He's a solid #2. Sanders should just become the 3rd down back.

Good thing he had a impressive 40 time.

Scouting reports generally stated Young had a 'good enough' arm. Nowhere did I see an elite arm mentioned for him. He was praised for his attributes between his ears endlessly. Arm talent, not so much.

We have to get a new RB then. Chuba, while much improved, is NOT a bell cow back.

I really, really like this 'outside the box' mock.

Take? Sure, but are they the best value? Coleman possibly. At this rate I'd rather trade down some and get some bonus picks. Leggette should be there several picks later. One thing I did agree with Fitterer on is his philosophy on immediate impact players only being in that first 15-20 picks. So #33 or lets say #37 in a trade down, you are getting the caliber of guy.

If we are going to force a WR at #33, we very well could be looking at WR7 or WR8. Screw Fitterer and David Tepper. So disappointing to know where we could be this draft and the crumbs we actually have. I know, you 'make lemonade out of lemons' and hopefully Dan Morgan can. As a guy who usually enjoys the draft process, last draft and this one has absolutely sucked for me.

Don't get caught up in the NFL size, he's not been a consistent producer in his college career. That's the very reason I wasn't very high on Mingo. While Mingo had the better career than Legette, he still didn't put up the numbers that I would expect for a #1 guy in college in a pass happy offense.

Lol, get out of my head dude. Ok, ok, what am I thinking now?

How we deal with Burns will be nearly as impactful to the future of this this team as Young panning out or not. I'm dead serious. Tag and trade is my stance currently, but man would those two first rounders from the Rams have been nice about right now.

Yup, this is where I'm at for now. The best players left at #33 are QBs when I do my mock drafts nearly every time. I know we aren't taking one, as we should, so might as well take advantage of it. Move back and get some more draft capital. No further back than the early 40's, so not beyond 10 picks. In most years #33 isn't bad, but it's no man's land this year as far as I'm concerned. If we stay, I have a feeling we will reach.

Fitterer was a year early and I think deep down he knew it. Was this internal pressure to get the future QB or was it someone inside the building? I think it was a combination of both, but mainly from his boss. Could you imagine being in the position to take an early QB this year? I can, because I wanted to. Yes, I have beaten that horse into homemade glue because it has been VERY hard to let go.

In the NFL QBs have to be able to make all the throws. Bryce is limited where he can throw the ball. That limitation is due to arm strength. I looked at his passing chart just about every game and his outside the numbers attempts beyond 10 yards, certainly 15, were virtually nonexistent. The few he tried were HIGHLY unsuccessful. Bryce knows his floaters to the outside are prime for picking and why he stays away from them.

I agree, wait until day 3, but you don't shy away form upgrades because of other guys contracts.

I's take the Ravens 1st and 4th this year and 3rd next year.

Arrrrrr...you be taking all me coaches!!!!!!

Exactly what I've been saying. If this were Aaron Donald in his mid-twenties, you pay the man, but Burns is one-dimensional. He's nonexistent in the run game, a liability even. Even his pass rush success is streaky as heck. He'll have a multi-sack game once or twice in a typical season, but has several games where he has little to no impact. That's not a guy you break the bank re-signing.

You should have shown this data to Fitterer last year before he signed Sanders. Also Shipley is being projected to go 3rd round, that's where I got the 3rd round from.

I like Franklin or Polk at #33. We may double dip at WR, but with only six picks, I doubt it.
