Unless Cook has an unbelievable pro day/combines, he gives a perfect interview, and our scouts are floored by his tape- particularly his vision question marks- there is no way cook is the pick at 8. There will be too much talent there to justify it.

OK, does that mean we grab Solomon Thomas at 8 then? I really like getting a DE, RB, and LT as our top 3. 

Not in my opinion.  My top two picks for #8 are the LSU boys, Adams and Fournette.  I'd be ok with Hooker, and will probably add a name or two after doing more research.  I haven't researched Thomas yet, but at the moment I'm thinking no at 8.

Yeah, I just have a hard time taking RB so high. There are amazing RBs that come out of nowhere so often that taking one top 10 better damn near be a lock hall of famer to be worth it.

David Johnson- 3rd round

Jamaal Charles- 3rd round

Le'veon Bell- 2nd round

LeSean McCoy- 2nd round

Devonta Freeman- 4th round

Hell, guys like Arian Foster and Willie Parker went undrafted. To make a top 10 pick worth it, you better damn sure be getting the next Adrian Peterson or LaDanian Tomlinson. Otherwise it's just not worth drafting that position so high.

 

Yea well said, I go back and forth honestly. Hard to argue with your logic but the lure of that monster in the backfield stepping on necks and punishing defenders in the 4th quarter is very inticing. 

I only follow a couple teams in college but from my limited research, my ideal first two would be Adams first and Foreman from Texas in the second. Doubt that will happen but a man can dream of a leader/playmaker/beast for both backfields in the first two rounds. 

I'm not sure how much hype Foreman is getting, I think he's considered third best at this point. From my eye test he looks like a beast and could potentially be available on the second, early . 

Fun times.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
