I'm a State guy but I wouldn't take TJ at 9. His outside shot is too inconsistent at the moment and a lot if his "garbage" baskets aren't going to come as easy in the league.

But with that said if he's there at 24 then they should run to the podium with the card with his name on it.

TJ Warren's game is more like Morrison than McDermott's.  Streaky perimeter shooter, but makes a living in mid-range and driving to the basket and shooting floaters in traffic.  That is how Morrison made his living at Gonzaga.

 

Having said that I think TJW will be much better than Morrison in the NBA, not that that is saying much.  But I am a believer in TJW

I realize we all like to poo on Adam Morrison, but he was actually well on his way to being a productive NBA player before he blew out his knee, missed an entire season, and lost most of his quickness (and he didnt start out with much)

 

I mean he wasnt going to be an all-star or anything, but he could have been the first or second guy off the bench

Most forget his first season wasn't all that bad production wise, his knee going out ruined his career. Just no one knew it at the time and expected him to play similar with a better FG% then he did as a rookie and it never happened.

Seeing Warren being compare to Leonard. Would want at 24.

 

I don't think he will fall that far, but if he did I would take him in a heart beat at #24.  I would pull the old Panthers 2 seconds and the pick is in deals.

 

I wouldn't mind Early at #24 either if we go G or PF at #9

I don't think they'd take both McDermott and Warren since they play the same position.  Maybe something like:

 

9 - Stauskas

24 - Warren

 

or

 

9 - McDermott

24 - Hairston

 

Some combination of 2/3.  Like I said in another thread, as long as we get shooters, I'll be happy.  We gotta get some more scoring out there to help Big Al.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
