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.
