2018 draft thread

[Sharkinva]

It is a waste of valuable talent and an opportunity to expand the supply pool when QB's like Jackson are dismissed without a credible effort to transition them into the NFL game.

Greed, impatience, laziness, and dysfunction and the "one size fits all" attitude that insists that "Baptism by fire" is the only way, are all earmarks of this type of "thinking?" This was exhibited in Washington after the 2012 NFL draft then adjusted to some degree in Tennessee after the 2015 draft.

Is a catch 22. You draft a guy in the first round, you have at max 5 years to figure out if he is the guy. Most coaches are always one bad season away from getting canned. The college game is all about fire works and Highlights.

You end up with guys who put up gaudy stats and win Hiesmans, are ill prepared for a league where they are not the fastest guy on the field, and they get drafted to be the savior of the franchise.

IN short this aint the NFL of the 1970's

No one is saying that it is the NFL of the 70's at all except those who are reluctant to realize that the talent pool is changing and adjustments at the NFL level must be made to account for both the talent pool and the adjustments that's required for them to succeed. You're right it's not the 70's.....it's the realities of 2017 and beyond.

OK well taking that into account, the only real way to factor in a survival rate for players like Vick, Jackson, RG3 and this new breed of QB it to put them in these

Honestly, the league is for all intents and purposes, already there. I'm surprised that any pass is incomplete, outside of drops in today's watered down version of the game.

Only the Redskins

Could have a QB they are paying $24 Million Dollars for the season

And before we have even taken a snap for week one, one of the primary topics of conversation is

Who should we draft to play QB.

Just think about how that sounds folks.

 

[skinsdad62]

Yeah, I'm struggling with this one, also. Let's at least wait until he is dead before we bury him. Might also want to give some of these college can't miss prospects a few weeks also.

Very true. However - the Redskins are also the only team to ever tag a QB twice & actually seriously be considered to tag him a 3rd time. Let's hope that Cousins does reasonably well this season & somehow the powers that be come to their senses & sign him long term. I am pretty sure that you will deem this impossible, but I have hope that this very likely could unfold in this manner.

Impossible no, Do I expect it to happen?? I dont think they tag him again, and I dont think they make a real effort to resign him no matter how the team finishes this year.
