I think we are the best team to ever have the #1 pick...

Maybe my blue shades are on too tight, but I honestly think we are the best team to ever draft #1. Our defense was GOOD before we lost some key guys to injuries... even after they went down, we still had a respectable defense.

Offensively, when healthy, we have one of the better OL's in the NFL. We aren't that far removed from having one of the top 3 best OL's. We still have some of those guys, and hopefully Otah can come back and we'll be right back there.

DeAngelo Williams & J stew (throw Goodson in there)...and we have one of the best backfields in the league. Easily.

QB is a GLARING problem, but it sounds like we're going to address this tonight. We don't really know about our WR's because we haven't had a QB to throw to the new guys...

I think last year was a combination of being HORRENDOUSLY unlucky injury-wise, a coaching staff that quit, a team that quit (except for guys like Beason) and a QB who didn't want to listen to his coaches.

I really believe we're in WAYYYY better shape than other teams who have picked #1 in the past. Thoughts?

    • If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times). 
    • Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1. 
    • You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
