I can agree with that. The likelihood of an actual legit weekly presence is low, but there's promise in Coker. He may be a Norwellian type gem to a degree, but Philly was JAG. Like you, I keep my expectations for anything beyond the 4th round, maybe 5th, pretty low.

I agree. What I'm saying is that Canales doesn't really seem to value using TEs at a level where a legit star is necessary anyway , unlike some coaches, and that his seeming refusal to appreciate and adapt to arguably a more efficient and modern offense may be a contributing factor to him getting canned. Drafting Sadiq was never a real thing in my mind (and that's why l never really spoke on it (if at all), because a move-TE doesn't seem necessary in the regular flow of the game to Canales.

If the next QB takes him down, then Morgan is going down with him.

And that, among other things, might be what gets his ass fired one day. Don't get me wrong, there's no way Sadiq was worth a first, but some TE is worth it (or a second or a third). It may just be a consequence of growing up on the Pete Carroll tree.

I think it's a sore spot with some here (and I'd like this thread to stay open), but put two and two together below...

As most of you should know by now, I am @top dawg. I haven't been able to use my old profile because I forgot my password, and for more than a year now, the site won't send a recovery email. In any event, I have been here circa 2003. That should tell you what I think about the place. It has been somewhat neglected since the Tepper Era began, but thankfully the basics still function because I would really miss interacting with some of you hardheads. There is no substitute, and, yes, I've looked, and this is the most active and enduring sports message board that I've come across. If you ever don't see me for months on end, I'm either demented or dead (probably the latter). There have been enough departed old heads from this place for whatever reasons, but you old ones and you youngins can count on me to bring the fire as long as this place is around...or until I am permabanned...(That's a tribute to our old friend in case you didn't know).

This is the year to or get off the pot. I've always liked Cherelus. I remember when I mentioned him last season, and some people scoffed. He is certainly the type of depth that you want. Wallace is simply a little bit more athletic, a little faster, and markedly more explosive. He just has to put it together this season. He's OK in coverage with OK insticts and less so against the run. For all his athletic gifts, it hasn't translated onto the field with consistency or completeness. He'll be depth as well if he doesn't watch out, albeit maybe a wrung above Cherelus.

That's a savage allegation. If true, Russini can hang up her mic.

That's the way that it should be if you're doing it right. I think some people are under the assumption that ALL the players are on a board. Some players are on everyone's board of course, but others just don't make the cut on every board. All that being said, of course the board is likely going to be heavily skewed toward positions of perceived needs and suspected upgrades.

I mean, you've seen it two offseasons and drafts You can see it in the value ratings more in this draft than the last one. We had more to work with, but you could see the setup of this draft by the moves in free agency as clear as day also. No, BPA is not a myth.

This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan. At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind. So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

Dude, you're probably not going to find many big boards with Hill over Lee. Lee was correct pick based upon value alone.

I know to this point, he's been basically JAG, but don't forget about Metchie.

You're kinda sending mixed messages. Freeling is that dude.
