Teams that draft well can afford to take some chances here and there.

if they draft well, then maybe its just a good pick and not any more of a "chance" or "risk" than most of these players

Is he really a headache though? Or is this off-season nitpicking that people do to convince themselves that a good player isn't good enough?

never seemed to be on the outside looking in. i agree, it is unfortunate that there are people out there playing with a kids future and finances

Is Jeanty a better prospect than Bijan Robinson? I’d say hell no and honestly Robinson hasn’t really done much.

Just 1500yds and 14 TDs his 2nd year, not much at all.

I just did a slew of sims to the 3rd and Jeanty was there at 10 every time. I liked it better when I got OT at 10. But I'm not the GM that brought Jeanty in for a talk.

 

[DanielCCSBears]

I’m sure if you like the pick, you’ll credit Johnson. If you hate the pick, you’ll say it was Poles.

Either way if the pick hits, you’ll say it was Johnson after all.

Lol you're wrong. But nice assumption. I never credit the coach for draft picks it's the GMs job period.

We’ve gone round and round.

Who’s your guy at 10 excluding Hunter and Carter? It’s draft day MFers!

I still want Kelvin Banks Jr.

Robinson only averaging 1700 total yards and 12 TDs per year, behind a mid-level OL. Not much indeed.

One thing I will enjoy are tards on here knighting for poles if he takes a te in the first round. The copesters are the driving force of ccs

I want it on record that I am not coping if they draft a TE, just a tard. I like Warren because this draft kinda sucks and I think BJ would do really cool things with him. BJ and I will be tards in arms if Warren is selected.

Also for the record, I really hope they can get Graham or a LT. The tackles and DE's just have so many warts and we haven't seen actual player development in forever here. Hoping that ends.

Empty stats on a losing team. I meant in the way of wins but I can see why it looks stats related. They certainly aren’t losing because of him but they are wasting him because the team wasn’t ready.

Maybe he can play DE too?

My point was they didn’t trade up, he was a better prospect, he is putting up numbers, and the team still sucks. Draft trenches.

I don't really care about his confidence/conviction. I prefer him to be right.

Actually conviction can lead to trading up for a bust or passing up a guy who dropped because you're convinced your guy is the guy. I prefer a guy who understands that even the best best talent evaluators are wrong a lot and this keeps an open mind, looks at every angle.

Honestly if these guys have a lot of confidence in their picks they're stupid. It's like having confidence in rolling dice.

I think you missed the entire point and this is ridiculous.

You don't have a point. At least not a coherent one.

All while sharing the backfield with another legit starter in Algier

I’m sorry you can’t follow it, that’s a you problem.

Yep, I agree with that point. RB isn't a high value position overall. But he is a stud, and those stats aren't empty. They show how good he is. There are lots of great players on bad teams, doesn't diminish their value imo.

Banks all day. Looks like he’s gone by then though

That’s my point, he is a great player, better than Jeanty at least in my mind, and it doesn’t matter because the team sucks on oline and dline.

It’s like Barkley on the Giants.

Edit: this is combating trading up for Jeanty, at 10 fine.

Then I'll politely ask that they puff puff and pass. Could use a bit of their delusion.

 

[dabears70]

Banks all day. Looks like he’s gone by then though

If we go off of the outside draft guys thoughts, it sure looks like Campbell, Banks and Membou all go top 9 now and to make it worse they most also have M.Graham, M.Williams and Jeanty off the board top 9. This is why we're now seeing so many people with us taking Warren at 10. If those 6 are off the board then i might even take a trade down package that a little under what it would normally be. Not crazy low but a little low.
