Why didn't we trade Taven Bryan?

That said, I hate taking projects (Matt Jones being the most famous example) in the first round. Teams have four-five years with them on their rookie deals. The high-ceiling line that GMs spout when they draft Taven types is a tip-off that they're already hedging against high-bust potential. Not to beat a dead horse but..............https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2018/draft.htm Do you think this team would be better off with a Sutton, Chubb, Lamar Jackson, Dariius Leonard, Braden Smith, etc.? I know, I know, hindsight is 20-20 but still, Bryan looks like a bad miss. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

There were many people here that thought J. J. Watt was a bust after his rookie year. I'm not sure you can accurately judge any player after just one season--good or bad. Especially a position that he had to share with 4 Pro Bowlers.

It wouldn't be inaccurate though. Judging a rookie lineman that played half the year out of position "a bad miss" is a fool's errand. You're welcome to your opinion but you're clearly ill-informed. I'd probably have selected a half dozen players instead of Bryan at 29 but I'm not going to pretend I know how good he's going to be or not be yet. It's just way too soon to have a grasp on. And I'll go ahead and beat the dead horse for you since you seemed to have breezed by the info I spelled out for you in my prior post about D-Linemen developing slowly quite often. Do you think Cameron Heyward was "a bad miss?" No? He started his career with 1 sack and 22 tackles in his rookie season and was drafted at 31 overall. Practically identical start - yet he's an all-pro DT now, isn't he? You need to learn how to assess with patience for players that spend their rookie seasons just rotating in behind pro-bowlers and getting their feet wet. Premature judgement is seriously unwise in these situations. Is this horse dead yet? We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today! |
