He conveniently forgot how many times Matt Millen fell into a pile of tits and came out sucking his thumb drafting WR's with his #1 pick almost EVERY draft. Hell, draft enough of them and you're bound to get SOME "hits."OneBuckeye;1128918 wrote:^ I heard Booms saying the Detroit lions were the model to follow because they weren't afraid to pick start at the top of the draft and sign free agents. I changed the channel. It's pretty easy to draft when you have Stafford and Johnson on the board.
Not to mention, this is the same team that drafted Mike Williams #10 and Roy Williams #7 of the 1st rounds of back to back years. How'd that work out for them?Commander of Awesome;1128929 wrote:Yeah lets go 0-16, draft a QB that can't stay healthy for his first 2 yrs in the league. Then suck so hard that we go winless. That's how it works for SB champs NYG, Shittsburgh, and GB Packers... What a fucking dipshit.
That is exactly what you get by taking a WR that is not a clear dominating talent like Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss etc. That is why I don't like Blackmon at 4. He is not the unquestionable star the others were coming out of school. I think Blackmon will be good. But Hill, Floyd and Wright have just as much potential and are currently just as good.

I like Blackmon, but agree. There is a lot of WR talent this draft. Some teams will be getting good WRs in the 2nd round.OneBuckeye;1128984 wrote:That is exactly what you get by taking a WR that is not a clear dominating talent like Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss etc. That is why I don't like Blackmon at 4.

Agree and it's not just Blackmon. After Luck, RG3 & Kalil, nobody jumps out at me as "must have" at #4. That's why I'm all in favor of trading down. I don't think the difference between Blackmon and the receivers you mentioned is worth turning in the card at 4 for.OneBuckeye;1128984 wrote:That is exactly what you get by taking a WR that is not a clear dominating talent like Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss etc. That is why I don't like Blackmon at 4.

I wouldn't consider him dominant at all. AJ Green should be in that list. But really you never know for sure when you draft a WR.OneBuckeye;1128984 wrote:That is exactly what you get by taking a WR that is not a clear dominating talent like Calvin Johnson or Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss etc. That is why I don't like Blackmon at 4.

Good catch on Green. I think Julio had more question marks, I think that was more due to injury and not playing with an elite QB or wide open offense.Skyhook79;1128995 wrote:I wouldn't consider him dominant at all.

NFL.com - Browns president Mike Holmgren says that he placed a phone call to Colt McCoy to reassure the quarterback of the organization's support. Those 6-8 catches will be for about 25 yards. If they don't have a QB that can throw the ball downfield, does it really matter who they have at WR?BR1986FB;1129003 wrote:Blackmon would help the offense but I think T-Rich would have more of an immediate impact. Richardson is going to get more touches rushing and catching checkdowns while Blackmon might get targeted 8-10x's a game and catch 6-8 balls.
Either way I wouldn't want either at #4 but if you can trade down a few slots, get some "value/extra picks" and THEN get them...I'd be cool with that.
