Worst Case Scenario


d-run

Recommended Posts

IMO the worst case scenario is that the guys we are targeting are taken ahead of us, Richardson drops to us and no one wants to trade up. Let's say these are the first 8 drafted players:

Andrew Luck

RG3

Matt Kalil

Morris Claiborne

Justin Blackmon

Quinton Coples

Reilly Reiff

Michael Brockers

If we have to pick a guy at 9 with what is left, who do you take?

Options include:

Janoris Jenkins

Devon Still

David DeCastro

Melvin Ingram

Jonathon Martin

Dre Kirkpatrick

Other

I would take Jenkins out of that group. I think he has shutdown talent, just a little small. Either way, if Richardson falls out of the top 8 and someone else doesn't sneak up (Tannehill, Floyd, Wright), we will get a lesser talent than what I am hoping for.

Well technically, I think the worst case scenario is humanity is wiped off the face of the earth before the draft, but I am trying to work within the confines of reality.

No, that is not the worst case as it would save us the humiliation of having a bag of chips as our franchise quarterback.

Or Jimmy Clausen, which might be even worse, since we all know Otah would eat the bag of chips before it ever hit the field.

I think you are right on target.

Losing the coin flip screwed us pretty bad. What you have to look to is Buffalo. What are their biggest needs? A 3-4 OLB followed by an OT. Now, what we have to hope is that someone like Upshaw blows it up and someone(Jets) want to move in front of Buffalo.

Otherwise, we have to take a guy who has a mid teen grade at 9

Which of the remaining names is likely to be in the pro bowl for the next 10 years.

I take DeCastro, cut Wharton, use the $$ saved to sign an OLB and a S.

Or take DeCastro, pair him with Wharton and a resurgent Otah and have the offence put up 45mins TOP every game.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
