Brutal honesty, the track record of the huddle being pissed about a pick has not been kind. We don't exactly have a bunch of draft gurus here. This is the same board that predominantly wanted nothing to do with Cam and Luke at the time of the picks.

Just let him prove himself.

I agree. I'll definitely root like hell for him. But, in the meantime, draft is all we have to talk about. Half the Huddle will try to put this kid in the HOF by training camp and the other half will be trying to cut him.

We've got a lot of versatile playmakers now so there should be no lack of creativity on offense and no predictability.

Only two. He double catches a lot of balls.

So you don't think Samuel can be better than Philly or Ginn?

Nice counter to our in rivals edge rushers and the rest of the leagues as well

Probably ultimately similar to Ginn, but likely lesser as a rookie if I had to guess.

[Hogmolliesmaht]

At the very least, our return game just got exponentially better.

Not me. I loved both picks.

I watched a ton of Big 10 football.  Guy is a playmaker.

i personally liked Godwin from Penn State better.  But, I am biased as my wife is a Penn State grad.

We are definitely adding speed to the recipe this season.

think about this....Cam and CMC in the backfield...Olsen at TE...KB, Funch, and Samuel at WR.  That is a gaggle of weapons right there.  Will give defenses fits.

If the guy can get off the line of scrimmage against NFL corners, run straight down the field and then catch it if it hits him in the hands he will be very valuable.

Red why you keep saying that lol

When Cam was drafted the board was mostly positive. Most didn't have Luke going that high, the response to Luke was actually more shoulder shrug than anything, definitely was no pick bashing

Well I hope shula can open  his closed mind and actually come up with a scheme they can excel in.  

I ultimately feel this is his last year. Wouldn't be surprised if he's replaced before midseason.

Sources Tell UsIt's kind of like with Jalin Marshall last year. How do you use him? He's not a running back and his routes and hands really aren't that good. Marshall went undrafted. Samuel is a better athlete but they are about the same size and give you the same concerns with how to use them." -- East regional scout for AFC team

I wish I had faith in KB and Funchess.  this offense could be scary if they step up
