Definitely something we agree on. I was great with Carter a few weeks ago, but what concerns me more than the issue with his speeding and the accident, is the perception that he isn't a hard worker. No thank you. My buddy keeps saying Warren Sapp. I keep saying Albert Haynsworth.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 7:27 pm
I'd be fine with Will Anderson as well. I like him just as much as Richardson. I just don't see anyone worthy of those 5 in the Top 5. There was a time Carter, but that was mid season.
It's getting close to the point of trade back, but not quite yet.
I'd be intrigued by Richardson at 5. The last mock I did, Will Anderson went 4 so I traded down to 9. Richardson went 8th so I traded down again. Ended up with a decent class this year, three firsts and a second next year. Funny, I am the biggest hater of the trade down, but mostly because of what we used to stock up on. We would trade out of early rounds and load up on mid round picks that turned into Tedrick Thompsen and Mike Tyson! 3 firsts and a 2nd next year, plus Bresee, Simpson, Nolan Smith and Charbonnet in the first two rounds? I liked what I read about my 90th pick Mazi Smith, and I still got interior O Line and RBs later, plus a D Lineman from Alabama. I can take that type of a trade back. But all we ever did was move back to load up on mediocrity.
You are the reason I started following Richardson this year. I just thought he looked like an athlete, not really a QB. His combine was fucking nuts. I mean, Hell yes he's an athlete. Can a guy with those types of skills, "bigger and faster than Derick Henry!", put it all together with a year to learn? Would be interesting to see. But damn, forever we waited for a top 5 pick. To use it on what is basically a project? Scary. And, to do so at a position like QB that we just paid two guys to come back to? Tough one for me.
