Thanks for your support!
I'm just curious, have you seen him run inside routes like jerk routes and such? I ask this just like I asked about Washington last year. If all you are is a seam route te, then it's like a pitcher who only has a fastball. I like his speed on TV, but can he drop his hips and run a jerk or shake route. What made Pitts such a high pick was because he's 6'6 and runs routes like a wr and in college, he was the alpha.
Smart doesn't use his TE's that way. But Bowers certainly has the athletic ability to do this. He can sink his hips and get in and out of his breaks as good as most TE prospects that I've seen. I really wanted Caserio to pick Washington in the 3rd last yr and Bowers in the 1st this yr. This would give them one of the top young TE duo's in the NFL for the next decade. As you saw their skillsets at the TE position mesh well together.
I like Bowers, I just said I don't think I would move up alot of spots for him when they can sit there and take wr. Schultz might prove good enough as did Engram last year with Jacksonville.
I certainly respect this line of thinking. But the teams with Kittle/Kelce etc... seem to have the most effective offenses, particularly in a WCO.
Check out Daniel Kelly's eval former NYJ scout whose worked with Parcells and Belichick. His eval and mine are similar. Daniel Kelly editor in chief for First Round Mock. Since I dont do links.
I'm hoping that this is the year that they can finally go best player available regardless of position
You realize that's not something to be proud of, right?
3rd and 5th rd picks who were ex qbs. Kelce nor Kittles really out run people, but their shiftiness is what sets them apart. Jimmy Graham in his prime won because he was an ex basketball player as was Gates and Gonzales. The speed type of te I remember was Vernon Davis.
Kittles ran a 4.52. I doubt though that Bowers runs at the combine. Top 10 picks usually don't, these days.
The difference from a good and a crappy poster.
It's a good thing other members don't follow your example. We would have no camp updates, no info on cuts or trades, no youtube videos. No links to stories on the team. Just posters pulling often erroneous info out of their rear.
Love this kid. We'll have no shot at Harrison Jr. but Wilson is who I'd want to target for next year.
Yeah I just don't feel like the Browns will be that bad and it really just takes 1 team that thinks they have a QB because MHJ is basically the consensus #1 non-QB prospect at this point.
Corum is likely going to be a very good RB in this league.
I'm liking Bucky Irving, reminds me a lot of Pacheco. Draft Irving in the 3rd and sign Edwards-Helaire and McKinnon for a total of 4-5 mil and you basically have the Chiefs backfield on the cheap.
This is the route I would go
I agree with this plan if Wright is there when we pick in the 4th at 123 (or 127). The FA RB I would like to see is Cam Akers, he is still young and should be affordable. I would be good with D'Andre Swift as well, but I think he will command a higher price.
Not me man. I want this running game dramatically improved.
Average Ht: 70"
If we add a RB in FA then I think we only add another in the 7th round or UDFA.
I think we could all be in for some surprises this off season. I would not be shocked to see Nick Caserio bringing in both Barkley and Derrick Henry due to the age of the latter and health of the former.
Rumor is Madubuike is going to be tagged.
That doesn't make alot of cents. Why tie up soo much money on rb position when the last 6 sb winners have won with cheap guys. I can see Henry and a draft pick. Dare probably can stay because of teams. Henry on a 2yr deal, draft a rb in the 3rd or 4th.
if Henry loses his productivity due to his age or if he's injured again that leaves us with absolutely nothing and I don't want to go that direction again. Not saying we have to have both I agree that it's not likely.
That's why there is a draft. KC spent a 1st rd pick in CEH then a late rd pick on Pacheko along with the cheap signing of McKinnon. Rb is one of the few positions that you can get instant results from. Kareem Hunt led the nfl in rushing and yards as a rookie. Nick Chubb has been a beast since day 1. Etienne got hurt and missed his entire rookie year, but has been very,very productive. The Texans can draft 2 backs and go young as far as I can see or sign Henry and draft one in the 3rd or 4th rd like the Titans did with Spears. Chanced are you're not going to sign 2 aging rbs and tie up 18m in that position. Not only that, they probably don't want to split carries like that. Texans were 60/40 pass to run ratio. The Titans and Texans had the same number of rush attempts
Sign guys like Swift and Singletary, then draft a guy late like Gore Jr or Guerendo in the 7th.
I suggested signing CEH/McKinnon in FA on the cheap and drafting Irving or Davis. Posters thought I was nuts. But if going this route allowed Caserio to sign Wilkins/Sneed/Gay in FA then I would go cheap at RB everyday and twice on Sunday's. I figure you can sign these guys for around 38 mil.
Not interested in Edwards-Helaire. Remember the Barkley conversation about RBs falling off a cliff at 27? I replied that some fall off before 27. Look at Edwards-Helaire's career numbers. That's exactly what I was talking about. He's regressed each year from a solid rookie season.
CEH has gotten less carries as Pacheco has taken hold of the RB spot. He's got a lot of tread left on the tires. McKinnon was activated for the SB for a reason. Basically you're getting the Chiefs RB room and hoping you draft Pacheco. I see Ray Davis and Irving as Pacheco type RB's in this draft.
The Chiefs no longer want that RB room. So why do you want the Texans to take their hand-me-downs?
The Chiefs are letting guys go left and right because they're way over the cap, not because of talent.
The guys we're talking about are FAs.
They let them become FA's to save money on the cap, because they're over the cap and have Jones/Sneed/Gay etc... to re-sign.
I think Guerendo will go earlier. I’ve heard multiple analysts say that the Shanahan tree coaches have been all over him. My guess is 4-5th round.
Thing about him is he used to be a WR. He's going to fit in well in a WCO.
