TD alt

"Awful" seems a bit hyperbolic. He has made plays at times. He's just "awful" in coverage.

Probably not, but they're still hoping that he grows into a legit starter. It's year three.

For as much as some of you are classifying DT as a need, I think it's in the rest of the bucket with everything besides OT. Still, I think that there has to be someone that warrants the pick for us to pick him.

Metchie aside, X aside, as well as Horn, I just don't believe that we're done at receiver this offseason. Why? One word: speed.

Horn ain't done squat to be honest. Metchie seems like the better all-around prospect. If nothing else, he should be able to move the chains whenever he's in.

He is projected day 2 or 3. First round is much too rich. He is undersized.

Well, we'll see. I think that's kinda preposterous though. Bryce is a three year vet. The thing that will settle him down is stout O-line play and receivers that he can count on.

I tend to think that you're right, but fans can hope. Metchie hasn't actually translated so far to the NFL for reasons we can point to, and others we probably cannot. This will probably be his best opportunity to stick and raise his value, obviously because of past chemistry with Young, but I don't think that fans can count on it based upon what he's done so far in the league. It would seem that he would've been given that opportunity in Houston, but they not only drafted one, but two receivers. Tells you how they valued him. Philly didn't blink when they traded him to the Jets who refused to tender him, so no one has really valued what he brings--not really. Moreover, Bryce is in the big boy leagues, now. He doesn't have time for sentimentality when it comes to security blankets. T-Mac and Coker are established. That being said, chemistry can cause explosions under the proper circumstances, but I wouldn't count on Metchie being anything more than a sub-explosion at best.

I mean, I get what you're saying, and if LB is the BPA, so be it (I won't be mad with one in the first or second). But, it's not like we haven't addressed the position---maybe not the green dot or the mic per se, but the position nonetheless. We have to let some of these guys develop.

OK, I see. Now that makes sense.

It will be interesting. If there is a run on OTs, then what do you think? We may have to move up. I think either Lomu, Freeling (Go Dawgs!), or Proctor will be there though. It's gonna come down to our valuation.

If you can get Slaughter in the second or third round, you're certainly not over-drafting him in the first.

I don't think Lloyd is going to be anywhere but in the center. I mean, are you suggesting that he doesn't excel in coverage? Are you saying that we got bamboozled?

So, do you think Lomu and Freeling are going to be better than Omar Cooper? Do you think they'll have a bigger impact in general, and impact for us? In general, I don't think it's a winning formula to draft inferior players at less valuable positions, not saying that this is the case.

LB, really? How much money and high draft picks do we need to throw at the position?
