Quote:I can't see a scenario where Dawkins will be a top 10 or 15 player left on the board at 35. 

 

The question really is, do we want to be a good team or do we just want to not be a bad team?

 

Good teams don't make reaches like Fournette at 4 or Dawkins at 35. Teams that are simply not wanting to be bad will shirk BAP to desperately fill needs. 

 

Unfortunately at this point too many fans (and I fear even our front office) are simply content with not being bad. 

 

 

You are really low on Fournette. As everyone knows, I'd much rather have D'Onta Foreman as our RB, but I also really like Fournette, as long as the O-Line gets addressed. As it stands now, drafting Fournette would be a disaster due to lack of run blocking, but if we address spots on the O-Line, I'm fine with Fournette and believe he can be a very good RB. I'd much rather trade down and draft an OG or a future LT, but if we stay at #4, I don't see any players that really stand out. We addressed the D-Line with Campbell, we addressed Safety with Church, we addressed cornerback with Bouye, so there is no need to draft a guy at those positions who would be sitting the bench or end up being a rotational guy. The QB's in this draft suck, so what other positions make sense? If we take a player at #4, I want a full-time starter, not someone to develop. Developmental players are for later rounds. I still say the move that makes the most sense is a trade down though.
