What an awful draft. I like Trufant, but wouldn't use a first rounder on him. I'd much rather have Reid, Rambo, Cyprien than Elam. And Michael is talented, but a knucklehead. I'll pass on all three.
Elam sucks. I wouldn't touch him until the 3rd.
I would draft him way before I would tough Cyprien.
He isn't half the player.
That is good he is not half the player Cyprien is.
I would rather have an Elam who is half the player at finding himself out of position.
That he is half the player at going for a knockout blow and missing the tackle.
That he is half the player at getting tangled up in traffic and getting shoved out of running lanes.
That he is half the player in finding himself out of position in coverage and having to make up for those mistakes with his speed, the one aspect he truely does possess.
Lol You have obviously never watched much tape on either.
I honestly know very little about Elam, and I would still take him over Cyprien based on that one single tape you demonstrated as "the tape of all tapes to show case his extraordinary skills". He looked like crap in my opinion. I was so unimpressed, and with the being "the tape", I am in no way interested in the kid unless he falls to like the 5th.
This is the exact reason I can't take your opinion serious, you have done no research, you are saying a tape is bad that every analyst and scout is raving is a great tape.
Plus, I watched the tape, I made my own personal analysis of it, not taking the popular opinion. So I don't follow the trend, I make my own analysis of what I see. Otehrwise, there is no need to do any research, only follow what a few experts say and follow those they praise and ditch those they do not like.
As I said, this is my opinion, I am not trying to change your mind, because I jknow that is not going to happen. However, unless you show me something more from Cyprien, then there is no way in F you are changing my mind either.
I am open to having my mind changed, but you have to show me something to the contrary to make me consider it.
Why should I care if I change your opinion? You have no decision making ability with the Bengals. So honestly I don't care.
Exactly. So as I said, your opinion to me means just as little as neither of us influence a damn thing with the organization. However, you are the one saying you respect nothing about my opinion since it goes against yours and popular opinion. I have not once said your opinion sucks, that your opinion is so flawed that you should be laughed at and mocked. I may argue my point with you, and say can I borrow your Delorean since you act like your opinion is the only right one on the board at times.
But I respect your opinion, even if I do not agree with it at times, and with Cyprien, I do not, since the little I know about him, was provided by you as "the tape" and he looked like crap in it to me. There was nothing in that tape that made me say "wow" that kid can ball.
