If Sims develops into a weapon do you really want him returning kicks . You’d rather waste the 2nd pick in the 3rd round on a kick returner because you don’t want to “waste” Sims, Jr. and risk him getting hurt?? ... meanwhile still no Left Tackle in sight and the secondary is counting on Ronald freakin Darby to adequately cover Lamb, Reagor, etc. Good organizations can gamble on early 3rd round picks on high-upside “Swiss Army Knife” type players ... we are absolutely nowhere near that point. This pick needed to be a corner, safety, or tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh8686 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 For those saying we have Sims already, Gibson is a very different player and can be a much better fit in certain looks than him. Gibson may actually be better Long-term value than Laviska, who was picked earlier. His contact angles are much more forgiving on his body and he will deflect and bounce off contact, rather than absorb it full on. I love the position versatility he offers and he’s a threat that will seriously threaten the middle and punish db’s if he breaks through past the 2nd level.

Imagine being perfectly made to play in the NFL but you were born with small hands. "Sorry guy, I'm not sure how you can even hold a cheeseburger with your 8-inch hands, let alone hold onto a football, to the 6th round you go".

Stefanskins Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Of course these are highlights for a reason but he seems to have very nice lateral cut back, vision, power for his size (not a small guy either) and not just speed but "game speed"...I'm excited! https://www.nfl.com/prospects/antonio-gibson?id=32194749-4241-5285-a215-d633ff9a6f70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I guess I should have made it more clear in my post that I was being sarcastic, lol. Hand size is ridiculously overrated. I've always said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they are hoping to get him matched up on LB's rather than DB's. He is a good player. If he was their BPA than fine take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how it makes a difference for QBs but isn’t as big of a deal for WRs especially with modern gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Thought the Skins might try and trade their 2nd 4th and maybe a 7th to move up in the 3rd and target Trautman. They love the guy and then try and get Charles with their 1st 4th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pick needed to be a corner, safety, or tackle. Do they draft for upside because they're good teams or is it that they are good teams because they draft for upside? My guess is the latter. Drafting for need above bpa doesn't seem like a winning formula to me. Did you like the McLaurin pick when we made it? Kyle did great last year. I'm inclined to go with him.
