RB wasn’t bad. Brought our grade up to maybe a C-

I totally disagree with you.

 

What move makes us great?

 

The only questionable move I’ve seen is PhiPhi.  And that’s because we created our own nightmare. 
 

Brian Robinson is going to raise our offensive floor all by himself. 
 

Gibson now becomes Deebo.

 

Terry and Dotson can threaten deep and opposing defenses are going to get hit by a literal battering ram for four quarters. 
 

Our offense improved dramatically in the last two days.

[dswerdlw]

Wow, I'm thinking (hoping) we'll be signing free agents to play linebacker and safety.

you don't jump from middling to great easily.  Great is rare or it's not actually great.

Yeah I’m ecstatic. 
 

I don’t know why people are harping on projected round stuff… I thought he was RB3. Dude does it all. I think he has a real chance to be the best back in the class and we got him at 98.

 

In my rankings I added draft value to my takes and had him as a late third -- exactly more or less where they took him.  The value IMO is fine.  

 

People are going to love this guy eventually.  He's a thumper but with sneaky good speed and underrated hands.

 

He can run both zone and power.  He had 22 runs of 15 plus yards. So he's not just a short yardage grinder.

 

If you want to play some ball control and grind down the opponent in the 4 quarter -- how about dealing with a 6 '1, 225 RB with 4.53 speed.

Don’t hate the pick. But there’s zero positional value added with these two picks. Not sure the team is materially better from it. 
 

It’s all going to come down to Wentz this year 

The truth of this is what makes it so scary.  I watched that game v. Jax, yikes.

[GhostofSparta]

Alright, day 2 is wrapped up.

 

Everybody make sure to brush up on the potential picks tomorrow:

Yup.

 

I’m excited. I like all three players we took. PhiPhi is a guy I think we reached on and he isn’t going to wow us regularly but he’ll be okay.

 

I have concerns with overall asset management for our team… but I like the players so far.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

I guess if the 2nd pick wasn’t such a complete zero in my book, I’d feel better. But that was legit the worst non-Cheeseman pick in years. 

[primetime441]

I see a 37-year-old AP in Robinson. Does not have the burst AP had in his prime, but has similar hip movement and knows how to find the opening.

No. He’ll be used more in line with his ability as a COP, kept fresh through the games and season, used more in the receiving game hopefully. But he’s nothing like Deebo and his athleticism is very very different. Much more straight line and much less dynamic.

Thats what I am getting at. The value by Ron and this entire draft is so wrong. Its not conductive to winning in 2022.

I don't mind the Robinson pick, but I question how much he'll really raise our offensive floor. He's not a dynamic back, his vision is seems ok, his speed is ok, he basically just seems to follow blockers and power mostly in a straight line. Not much wiggle or elusiveness to him. I think he'll get tough yards but won't be much of a threat to break off big runs.

 

But then again I'm far from a pro scout or coach so my analysis of him could be totally off, as I didn't watch a ton of film on him before the draft.

[Playaction2Sanders]

Not gonna be too harsh on our draft so far. Am I super excited? No, but I've been excited about past drafts and those classes don't turn out. I don't remember having any kind of reaction when we drafted McClaurin. I dig the DT's energy and we did need to address depth there, with Dotson, its easy to get stuck on the name and not the kid so just wait..

 

We still have 5 picks maybe more, maybe less. I think in the end we'll pull off a good draft and most of our needs will be met and I bet we get a QB too..

... as opposed to the tiny Antonio Gibson at 6'2" and 220 with 4.4 speed? Robinson hits hard, but he isn't really a big back.

Everyone is entitled to feel how they feel. You’ll see over time.

[Zim489]

Like the players they have taken on an individual level are decent but the value at where they are taken and at the positions they are combined with the current roster are woeful.

 

Just terrible roster construction and asset management. Not surprising from the worst voted FO in the league

[MAATopDogg]

Like the Robinson pick. Big and physical and can catch the ball out of the backfield. Really good vision finding hole and love those juke moves. I like this pick better than our 2nd round pick. Not sure what the strategy was there.

I got to watch Mathis but I am liking what i am reading about him.  Alabama DTs have been mostly really good in the NFL, even supposed pure run-stuffers like Jarren Reed have played well and showed some pass rush in the league.  For a run stuffer type to have 9 sacks is pretty darn good.  Sounds like a boisterous leader type -- good dude.

 

Dotson is the same way.  Speaking of which for those who have ESPN 2, they are running the Hey Rookie episodes right now, if you want to watch a bit about Dotson's journey.

 

 

[zCommander]

For tomorrow have two high 4th round picks couple of picks apart too. None is 5th. Then back to high picks in 6th and 7th. 

 

Hopefully it will be more fun tomorrow.
