Re: Who's Your Pick At #5

My guess is that If Anderson isn't there at 5 that they will trade down. I don't think they are going to shoot their wad on a QB this year.

Frankly, I am not even convinced that Carter has the talent to match up with all the hype. He certainly hasn't produced numbers on the field. In 3 years he has put up 44 solo tackles and 6 sacks but people talk about him like he is the second coming of Aaron Donald. Donald had 43 solo tackles and and 11 sacks in his last college season alone.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 3:58 pmYeah, I tend to agree. That is unless there was another superior defensive talent there they just couldn't pass on, Jalen Carter? Not saying it's gonna happen but with all the bashing I think the talent is getting overlooked. I don't think his issues really are going to stick. He seems to have settled the accident, and I don't think the pro day was that big a deal. Remember Schneider defending the Clark pick, man, that talent
It's a salary cap, it doesn't work that way. Think back to all the years we went bargain basement on the O Line. That was because they ran out of money. Over spending at one position actually makes it LESS likely that they will do the same elsewhere. 3 QBs on an active roster is not done very often, and I would say reasons one through five are all about money and salary cap space.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 3:36 pm
Just that it's justifiable to what they are spending at safety, they could easily afford to let a QB like Richardson sit for a year if they wished to do so. I think there are multiple plan's of action. Not one solid solution or direct path. As of right now I think they lean towards Anderson or Richardson if the board fell as I predicted. I think Carter will drop into the teens. Someone will eventually scoop him up. I'm just glad it won't be us.
He is more of Cortez Kennedy, Tez had only 58 sacks and 279 solo tackles in 11 seasons but he was a HOF nose tackle. I have never thought of nose tackles as being about tackles and sacks, it's the clog the middle aspect, tying up defenders, requiring triple teams. I don't know about Donald, hadn't thought of him as a nose tackle.Captain 97 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 4:17 pmFrankly, I am not even convinced that Carter has the talent to match up with all the hype.

. I asked both men what made Clark worth all this effort—and all this potential backlash.
“Holy cow, this is a 272-pound man who is extremely explosive," Schneider said. "He still has an upside, he’s an interior rusher, edge rusher, can play SAM [strong-side linebacker], set the edge—they did a lot with him at the school.”
If it's a franchise signal caller and investing in the MOST important position in football, then that's where we agree to disagree. And I still they have more moves coming.Michael K. wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 4:25 pmIt's a salary cap, it doesn't work that way. Think back to all the years we went bargain basement on the O Line.
