As for Landry, he may be the premier slot receiver in the league.

Don't be surprised to see him fall off a cliff. Tannehill had a lot to do with inflating his stats.

He did better...  but I'm just saying we have a more established history of blowing 2nd round picks than hitting on them.  You would think we would've hit on more than we have to this point in our history...  but, regardless, I'm happy we have the guys you mentioned who have become great players.

Im wondering what the statistics are for the past 4-5 years of teams hitting on second round picks and those that do not. Frash alluded to the patriots in another thread about them only hitting on Hightower and they ended up trading him. The rest are busts, been cut. I think you would see that more league wide, with just maybe one, MAYBE two in the past five drafts end up being worth anything. Maybe I'm wrong but the draft is such a crapshoot, we are lucky we've been able to hit really fuging well in the grand scheme of things.

Here's hoping Curtis Samuel gets healthy and bucks the trend and is more kk then ealy in terms of impact

Many would tell you that Robinson's play was a direct result of Bottles' inconsistency. As for Landry, he may be the premier slot receiver in the league. Most will tell you that both were excellent values. I'm pretty sure that many would have told you then that they were surer prospects at WR than Ealy was at DE.

But this is useless. Gettleman's gone. Robinson is a Jaguar and Landry a Dolphin, and Ealy a Patriot. In the main forum, we have an Ealy thread, a Remmers thread, and a Ginn thread. I'm going to refocus on the Panthers.

And many would also say that his ONE good year was solely due to the Jags always playing from behind and throwing like crazy in garbage time... It's just like Cecil Shorts. 

And Landry is a solid possession receiver, but no more and he'll never be anything more because of physical limitations. He catches a lot of balls, and that's about it. Would he help us? Maybe, maybe not much. Ultimately, I'd rather take a chance on getting another elite DE than a WR with a capped ceiling and who his team doesn't even want to keep past his rookie deal. He's not an electric slot receiver, just a possession guy, which are much easier to find.

Well, I see what you're saying about not wanting to discuss it, but to me it's just football discussion that is absolutely related to our team and our team's past and it's interesting for me to discuss.

Found this quote over on the Pats Board.

 

Ealy completely embarassed himself tonight. Looked listless and lazy, and got blown off the ball by backup O-linemen 1-on-1 a couple times. I would say he is cut tomorrow so he doesn't waste the coaches' time or take reps from a guy who gives a sh!t.

I only want Ealy to fail because he went to the Patriots. Otherwise, I wouldn't even care.

do we still get the pick they traded if he doesn't make the team?

They aren't going to take Moton away from us.

 You know so I met a sorry motherfuger at work that tried to tell me because of his size that trade was a steal " please!" I said he's inconsistent blah blah blah all he Saw is that he's a big dude  The size don't matter if the talent isn't there and it isn't presented consistently.  But I should've known I was talking to a patriots in a Seahawk fan I felt so different about that job after that oh I transferred so bye-bye patriots fan
