Keith Marshall An Absolute Steal In The 7th Round

[countryroads316]

Watching him talk to Terrell Davis he looks alittle bigger this guy is going to be a hell of a change of pace back with Matt Jones

I want to temper my agreement with this caveat, There are still questions about his health.

I would rather question his health than his ability in the seventh.

.......about his ability, while he is a high impact tackler against the run, he self admits that he needs lots of work against the pass.

Why are we questioning a RBs tackling ability?? Or his skills AGAINST the pass??

I think you are referring to the wrong player. Keith Marshll is a RB from GA.

Sorry guys, I was talking to someone else about our inside LB pick when I typed this. It is his health that is at question. Said so in my initial response.

"Placing B&G Shades on"

The beauty of this draft is, we are not actually counting on ANY of these guys as starters. So even the health issues picks should get time to heal and are not considered critical to the team this coming season.

"Taking the Shades off"

But we are still mini me short as far as the D-line is concerned.

No doubt getting that 122 yards per game against down will be a huge issue this year, unless there are pending moves yet to be considered. I still think that it is shortsighted to not consider getting some value this season for one of the current wideouts that won't be here next year. Clears cap money too!! SM seems to like later draft picks maybe a player for a player could be in the works too. Yes salary is an obstacle, but next year we get nada for a guy that everyone knows won't be back.

I know you would love to deal Garcon. BUt as you said, salary would be an issue. And I really dont see a good reason to force Doctson into a starting role to save the cap space since Garcon costs us nothing next year if we let him walk as a FA. And why take away one of the guys who will likely help Kirk live up to expectations... unless of course we want him to fail to prove we made a mistake??

I have to nuance my response because of the way that you worded yours. First, of course I would love to deal Garcon and yes we agree that the overpay is an issue. I really don't see it as "forcing" Doctson into a starting role as I already see him as the better of the two. The cap saving IMHO is a bonus. Letting him walk as a FA next year puts us in exactly the same position that you argued against someone else taking him. For us just like them he's a one year rental. If it's bad business for them, then it's the same for us. Lastly, I am firmly convinced that we have seen the best of Cousins. There is no wish to see him fail, but my honest evaluation, one that I've held from the beginning. Now, to be clear there's nothing wrong with what KC does, but if expectations are that he exceeds what he's already done...I just don't see it!! Last year was IMO, his upside!!

BTW: if he is to match what he's done last year, he's going to need better than P. Garcon to do it.

Agree with you on this one country. Perfect 7th round boom or bust type pick. He would have been a starter for 110 other schools the last few years. His injury and the fact that UGa has been just loaded at RB didn't help his draft stock.
