Well, i suspect you think (or at least at the time) taking Chase was okay but last year's absence of "swinging" was poor. I agree and agreed at the time. This year's draft feels different to me, but I'm not expert. Either way, I'll defer to their long term plan and hope they do the same.

The team just swung at Haskins and many folks (beyond dumb ass Dan) thought he was viable pre-draft. He is a stark reminder that making a swing simply for the sake of doing so is a bad idea. Its possible Howell is a good option (random choide 😀) , but its also possible he's Haskins and I want these guys in the FO to be long-term strategic with their choices. If the plan is to swing every single year until they get their guy, it might work but not how i would approach it.

Feels like you think they should keep swinging until they hit. That's fine. I don't agree, but I won't say you are wrong. That may be the way, see AZ Cardinals.....take QBs in back-to-back drafts.

Perhaps we are of similar mind. I'm purely suggesting avoiding the Haskins type of poor decision. Again, it won't matter if folks doubt Ron, the team is a hot hot mess and it simply doesn't have the option of shooting him. Its in his best interest to plan for the future.....whether thats short-term or long-term. Assuming the team doesn't like any of the particular prospects, Its possible the best idea is to trade back or stand pat and choke on the idea of TH (puke) or one of the available middling FAs. I'm all for the swing, but these guys must do whats best for the future even if it means kicking the can down the road. Maybe somone next year will say "why push it," I'd respond the same.

Why press it? If the FO/Ron doesn't like anyone in the draft, why make a bad problem worse? I understand the need to take some chances and make a swing, but why double down on anything you don't believe in? If the team decides it doesn't like anyone (or the cost thereof) in FA/Draft, let it ride....IMO. I fully acknowledge that approach burned the team in last year's draft, but these guys need to stick to their plan and Ron isn't going anywhere regardless of next year's outcome. He is the only thing given a shred of creditibilty to the organization at this point and another dissapointing season will simply be tear in the bucket.

I suspect they won't get that. Even so, where is this team at in its rebuild? I mean, if we are ready to scrap the whole thing and start over, then i agree with your concern and its probably not worth the cost (whatever it ends up being, won't be cheap regardless). If the team still believes it has a salvagable defense and some working offensive weapons, feels like Watson is the way to go to me. Further, if Watson ends up suspended for a year, we are at least that far out in getting a viable qb in the draft from the sounds of it.

Why not just go in on Watson if the Team wants to make a splash at QB?

The culture & future risk issues are almost certainly a deal breaker. Out of curiousity, who has the better draft capital for next year? I know that was an issue for this past draft, not clear to me how that looks going forward.

I felt the same way w/Shanny......but then RGIII

Had to research.....got tired of waiting for you to figure it out for me.

Think it's Anthony peeler
