We might well be

Think he may have got lost in a stacked class at rb

I'll be the first to admit I watched nothing on him

Quote:Why would they wait and get the worst guy? They got the one they thought was better

But the difference is Yeldon can catch and block a whole lot better then those guys

 

Because there are better players in other positions?

 

Gene Smith took the guy he thought was better. So did Shack. If you're going to use the argument of "well they picked the best guy on their board" then we might as well shut down this board since there's no reason to discuss anything.

Quote:Of course he would draft prospects from ITT Tech and whatnot...

 

My reply was aimed towards the "GM not following the draftnik's opinion and doing their own research".

 

Thats what they get paid to do and if they don't do a good enough job - they get canned.

That statement was dead wrong, Almost all of Dave picks were praised around the NFL, none of Gene picks were 

Hilarious that all the experts love the Yeldon pick, and people on here are finding reason to hate it. Same happened yesterday with Fowler.


Rediculous

Ridiculous  FTFY.

Not hating the pick, I just think we could have had better value at #36. 

 

But I'm not a GM either. 

Quote:I like how Caldwell's pick don't follow the draftnik norm. It lets me know he's doing his own research and homework on the players and not just relying on heresay like most of us do.

 

Eh, you know you could have said this about Gene Smith....

Hence the previous posts made by me.

Y'all really sleeping on Yeldon? Wait till he hits the field. Dude is a good back and and good pair with Denard.

I was thinking TE Maxx. There is alot of talent in the RBs in the draft, could've gotten one just as good later and not pay big for him. You have to help take attention off of Thomas with someone on the otherside. Or we just got him for nothing. Very upset with a wasted 2nd round pick. Bust....  

This pick clearly shows that I have very little draft knowledge. Bradley and his staff have been working this stuff through for months.


I would have preferred to not pick up a rb. But again, what do I know...


Thanks to everyone that has posted film on yeldon. He looks like he's got talent. If he fixes our running game, we're in good shape. But as a second round pick he must be a solid starter almost immediately

TJ did more in 3 years at ' Bama than Freddie T. did at Florida in 4.

Not hating on Freddie...he's my fav all time Jag, but that's the level of talent we just drafted.

Plus he's from the SEC......tired of seeing our best down south going other places.

I remember hearing things about Yeldon being compared to Le'Veon Bell and his versatility.  I also remember thinking it would be sweet if we got him.  I don't care if it's a 2nd round pick as long as he plays well.  He will need to play a lot better than Cyprien has.

Release.. THE YO BOY!!!

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Caldwell on Yeldon: We had three guys up there that we felt could be really good backs and two went last night.

This isn't college anymore.

He got picked with the 4th pick in the 2nd round. How exactly did he get "lost"?
