Not to be a smartass but without cap problems, isn't that only an issue to the guy writing the checks?

 

Well, perhaps....it could be something to where team chemistry is affected, too.

I'm saying you're trying to trigger yet another juvenile slapfight as you usually do.

 

If you don't want juvenile arguments, don't be a fool who responds with stupid, juvenile statements like '[yawn]'.

 

Try responding to points which are made respectfully like a grown up rather than throwing your toys out the pram when anyone dares question you.

 

We've got Lewis, and the rest really aren't important.  With all the more pressing needs this team has, it makes no sense to look at TE with gaping holes at OLB.

 

Take a flier on Jake Murphy UDFA and call it a day.  We aren't looking for a starter, and Bradfield is the jumbo set TE.

 

Give me any of these players before even thinking about it...

 

James Gayle DE

Larry Webster DE

Cassius Marsh DE/OLB/TE

Zach Moore DE/OLB

 

Keith McGill CB

Antoine Exum CB

Dontae Johnson CB

Bennett Jackson CB

Victor Hampton CB

 

Adrian Hubbard OLB

Lamin Barrow OLB

Carl Bradford OLB

Prince Shembo OLB

Trevor Reilly OLB

Shaquil Barrett OLB

Nate Askew OLB

Morgan Breslin OLB

Devon Kennard OLB

 

Storm Johnson RB

Lache Seastrunk RB

 

JC Copeland FB

 

To say it doesn't matter after Lewis is pretty silly IMHO, we have backups for a reason and right now our backups are mediocre at best and Lewis isn't young.

 

We're into the 4th now which is where you go BAP and get backups and developmental guys. If you have gaping holes still, you're unlikely to fill them adequately now anyway so no sense in reaching for someone or passing over a position of lesser need. (I'm not saying any of the guys you listed are reaches, just that flat out ignoring TE would be a mistake).

Just to be different, Bortles.

You're the jerk that made snide remarks ("Have we? When was this?") in a thread about DEFENSE to someone who wasn't even making comments directed at you.

 

Sorry to burst your egomaniacal bubble, but you don't move the needle as far as intelligent conversations go, anyway.

 

I'd suggest you drop the attempt to highjack the thread any further as well...

BAP at any position. Upgrade the roster, and not focus on individual positions

My prediction-rb then te next

@ Pirkster

 

I want Larry Webster, but I think he converts to TE, and would be a similar player to Julius Thomas IMO

That seems unlikely

They need help in other areas than RB but Seastrunk or Gaffney would be interesting with late picks

If so, I'll take that. Gladly.

Defense it is.

 

Now on to OLB.

You made a comment on a public forum, that means the comment is directed to anyone who wants to engage.

 

It was a serious question. Who are these TE we have picked up which now mean the position is set? What on earth is snide about that?

I'd say the draft results show we're more or less set.

 

We certainly didn't feel the need to go get one, now did we?

 

You sure nailed that one.  Just like you always do.  :thumbsup:

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

This front office seems to be very focused when they draft.  They don't just jump around from position to position filling needs all over the team.  They find the "BIGGEST" need(s) on the team and oversaturate the position(s).  Last year, they desperately needed scheme fit defensive backs and drafted FIVE of them.

 

This year, in an offense heavy draft, they told us they were identifying offense, and they used their first four picks on QB, WR, WR, and interior OL...all three were our biggest needs on offense.  So, they are indeed infusing the offense with talent.

 

With five more picks in the draft...I see us going OL again, (used on Bowanko)
RB (used on Johnson)
, another offensive player (missed here)
, and then, with two more picks, I can see us going defense...I'd like to think we go with a linebacker (used on Smith, Telvin)
, and then maybe a LEO prospect (used on Smith, Chris)
.  

;

On D.  The safety pool has dried up.  Not seeing fits.  There are very few corners left that are scheme fits.  McGill, Desir, Walt Aikens, and Antone Exum.  Once they dry up, probably in the fourth round, I don't see us going CB.  Linebacker is still got talent there, and there is still some DL prospects left that are fits.

 

Well, Larry pretty much nailed this one.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Well, Larry pretty much nailed this one.

 

The list of needs going into the draft was QB, pass rush, OG, C, WR, WLB and FS.

 

Got them all and added another back.

 

Caldwell hit a home run.

The only gripe that I have with the draft is that I wanted a pass rusher on Day One or Two. I love the two WRs in Round Two though, so I'll just deal with it.

 

I'm very optimistic about this draft.

Yeah aren't I stupid for saying we really must draft a TE... Oh wait, that never happened.

 

Although we picked up 3 UDFAs, so I'm guessing they think there are some gaps.

 

While we're on the subject of nailing stuff, I really think you should look up the saying about glass houses and stones. I dread to think how many times you slammed this QB class. I wont re-post them, because I know how sensitive you are about having your authority challenged. Praise Mod.
