Good lord. This is the worst draft ever. 47 prospects will be gone before pick 25.

 

That's the thing, there are probably 47 prospects that could be gone at 25.  That's what's so maddening about this draft.  From around pick 13 or so, you have about 30-40 guys that have qualities that scream 1st round talent, but they also have negatives that also scream potential bust.

 

I think it's why you see so many fans jump from prospect to prospect, depending on who is currently being talked up.  IMO, this will be the FIT draft.  While most successful GM's tend to look for BPA, I think this year they're going to be putting more attention than usual on who is the right fit for their team.  Without much separation between the players ranked from 15-45, teams are going to put more emphasis on what a player can do in their system than where they are ranked on their board.  So more than most drafts, I think we could see more than the usual number of players taking big drops.  Particularly, I think we'll see more than a couple of guys everyone thought were locks for round one drop well into the 2nd, and guys most think of 2nd round talents being taken in the 1st.  

 

In other words, this may be the most intriguing draft quite in a while.

I still like Fisher...but I really think there's going to be even better talent there for us at 25.  I actually think most tackles take a fall in this draft.  A big thing I'm wondering is if one of the commonly expressed "1st rounders" are sitting there at 57.     

 

Also,  this is one of the more conflicted tackle classes I've seen in some time when looking on the web or whatever resource.  There are lists with almost every prospect from Peat to Scherff to Collins to Humphries to Clemmings to Fisher being the top OT group.  I just don't see a single one that stands above the rest and screams "draft me" over the others.

I guess every pick in the draft is either going to be a 4th round pick or gone 24 picks ahead of us.

Huddle gonna huddle.

 

Quality LT don't last long (see La'Wuan James). There are plenty of analysts calling Fisher the best pure LT in the Draft. He compares extremely favorably to Lane Johnson who went #4 overall.

Or there's not many truly "great" prospects that are graded as first rounders, thus lumping a ton of players together in the late teens to 50 area. The Seahawks seemed to think so, which is why they had no qualms giving up a first round pick for Jimmy Graham.

This. 

 

I can not see Fisher lasting past the 1st round. There are only a handful of true LT prospects and he is one of them. On top of that, he probably has the best hands & technique of them all to go along with being the most athletic.

Yep, if you look at his toolbox it's really not hard to see why he would be a coveted prospect. My guess is he's gone by Detroit at 23, but I hope I'm wrong.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
