The 2012 Lee is the best WR in this draft. Hopefully we've done our homework and he can regain that form. Obviously part of the risk/reward for the draft.
Quote:Exactly. Not the greatest draft at this point.
Could have traded down several spots, picked Bortles and had an extra pick.
Could have picked a safer WR. Seems like they're going all in on this draft instead of playing it somewhat safe.
For a team that's not going to compete this year, seems pretty risky to me.
To your trade down and pick Bortles point. There's 0 way to know that.
I would imagine Lee has been medically cleared since he participated in the combine and held a pro day. With knee injuries it's tricky to see if a guy can get back to pre injury form.
The draft is always risky. It's not like they're taking unnecessary risks, Lee without the injury riddled 2013 would have been a 1st round pick.
Quote:Waste of a post. Go f yourself.
He was projected mid to late first round. He would have been there. Would have been nice to take Mack and either trade back into the end of the first round and take Manziel / Bridgewater.
Well, cuz projection=truth.
Can't keep up with all these trades
Should Dave trade up or stay pat?
Jets tried to trade up for Lee and couldn't make it happened per report.
Quote:Should Dave trade up or stay pat?
Depends on who falls.
Quote:Waste of a pick.
Yup.
Lee is terrific in college, but in the pros he will struggle to get off the line of scrimmage. NFL teams will erase him.
I have concerns on the draft as the rest of you, but I know I'm not a good a scout as Caldwell and co. This isn't like Gene's Smith era. He didn't reach for a 2nd round DT. He selected who he thought was a franchise QB.... and you don't pass that up for anything... even an extra 1st round pick if you think he's gonna be gone. The Skins give up 2 extra 1st round picks to get one. Not saying Bortles will be great, but Caldwell thinks he will be and so far Caldwell has done well in FA and drafts I believe.
Remember, Gus Bradley came from Seattle. The one thing you saw from Seattle is they ALL played with a chip on their shoulder. What did Lee just say? He has a big one on his. Caldwell and Gus are building a culture.

I could see it for Amaro or Martin.
Quote:No, I have no idea at all. Cleveland wanted Manziel. How it's obvious to you otherwise is beyond me.
Seems you have no idea what you're talking about, but continue talking!
You wanted to give up a third round pick for DeSean Jackson a few days before he was released. Who is the one who doesn't know what they're talking about Mr. Message Board GM

yea they wanted him so bad they passed on him twice by trading out of 4 and then picking someone else first. SMH

Not at all.
We just re-drafted a wide receiver to make up for two stupid picks last year.
Let that sink in.
When Kay says they sell chocolate diamonds what they really mean they have a bunch of poop colored diamonds they couldn't sell normally but they're going to invent a marketing campaign around anyways in order to pretend these are actually worth the massive markup they place on them.

It's exactly like the Team Gene Regime.
Thought he was gonna say Marcus Martin for a sec. But he might still be there in the 3rd. If he is, and Blackmon comes back in 2015, Bortles is gonna have a nice supporting cast.

We drafted a wide receiver to make up for one very stupid Gene pick two years ago. Ace and Denard (who, um, isn't a wideout) didn't play into it.
Keep purring, Catwoman. Maybe eventually you'll catch your bat.
