A Humphries / Fisher Double Dip


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I'm not a Humphries fan, so in this particular scenario... I wouldn't be all that happy.

 

In general though, I wouldn't be against double dipping at tackle.  For example, I'd be pretty happy to walk away with Peat and Fisher.  I like Fisher a lot, and it wouldn't surprise me if both were starting this upcoming season over Oher/Martin/Remmers/whoever.

The way I see it, I'd like to see us address WR in the first two rounds and tackle in the first three rounds. So if we go defense in the first, taking Strong and then some OT in the third I would be fine with it. But again, we're at the mercy of value. Our first three rounds could be OT, OG, WR. It could be SS, OT, LB. Depends on how the chips fall, and this draft could go down any way. I think The GMs' boards are going to be more different than they usually are. You're going to see a lot of surprises past the top ten today.

    • In the same order I listed it. 1. Fix the talent evaluation 2. Use that better evaluation to build an NFL caliber roster 3. Continue to build depth and plan to replace key people as they age out and price out.    Those are the cornerstones of building long term success in terms of roster makeup. Even at times in our history when we got Step 1 correct and then did a decent job of Step 2, we have never been able to maintain Step 3 for various FO and coaching/on field reasons. This is essentially what Richardson was trying to do with the thought of emulating the Steelers. Our execution has just been horrible. And we don't need to hit HR after HR at any of those steps, we just need to get more right than wrong. And you need to get the critical elements correct(core players, coaches, etc). Once that starts to go sideways, the whole thing falls apart and we are back to the boom and bust cycle.   As far as what we as fans can do? Nothing but watch. We the franchise, well they already think they are doing these things. I heartily disagree so we will see what happens.
    • I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact.  So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early.  I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket. 
    • Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
