I'd also love to steal a running back in the 4th or 5th round. I like Gibson - just don't know if he's a full-time prime back - considering he's never done it - and was barely a RB in college.

Is there someone you had in mind ?

Nah. Honestly I don't know enough and haven't had time yet to research the players. Any suggestions?

So my dream is that pitt falls back maybe to ten or more we trade our third this year and maybe a 7 for him and with 19 we go and take a RB. The best RBs in the draft are currently sitting in the late 20s so they will be there.

Study and research is no longer something I do. I just pick other people’s brains who study and research. Which is why I love reading the posts here.

But after reading a lot and watching a couple of highlights. I sometimes find a player I feel good about. Yeah I know this is borderline nuts, but I have fun and all I’m really trying to do is entertain myself.

I still like Chris Evans, Michigan (see previous post) if we somehow get a a 6th round pick.

I wouldn’t mind getting Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis if he drops into the 5th round but I believe most think he goes 3rd or 4th round.

Someone I am still not sure of is Khalil Herbert, VT. But I think he is projected to go before Gainwell.

What these guys have in common is they all do a little of everything. Run, cut, catch, pass & block... Herbert can even lead block and return kicks. Evans is probably the fastest if he can regain some of his magic from his freshman year. Gainwell may have the best hands. And Herbert the most yards after contact, but I’m not sure if it carries over to the NFL. He’s 5’9” 219lbs.

No logical reason but I have the same feeling about Evans as I did 2 drafts ago about McLaurin, when I thought, why isn’t this guy getting any attention.

That’s a big boy. Was a basketball player at Tulane.

If he can block I’m feeling better going into the draft.

Grab a LT, LB & FS with the first 3 picks then go BPA with the second pick in the 3rd round.

Skins guaranteed him $392K - which is more than a lot of veterans got, so they must really believe in him. Don't expect any blocking - he's never played football, afterall. If he's anything like Antonio Gates was, it's a win.

It didn't make $en$e for him to play again. It'd be cool if has an interest in doing what Rivers did and decides to coach HS football.

I hope that article is wrong about LB’s numbers 1-49.
There are a lot of guys playing with a number in the 50’s at LB.

I think this one from the NFL is a little different

[BearlyBallin]

WFT survey with some really bad names on it... The Rubies ? Really?!?

Makes me like my wife’s idea for the name now & I didn’t think I’d ever like her suggestion, “The Washington SonZof” or “SonZ of Washington”
Go SZW !!

[Dark Faze]

I'm not necessarily against keeping WFT as the name, but if it does I'd like still like a new logo design, alt logo, some changes in the kit, etc. Something that might make me a little more interested in taking a look at merch.

Why it's so hard to find developmental QBs in the NFL draft's middle rounds



Myth 1: Teams can readily find top-quality quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott in the middle rounds of the NFL draft.

Myth 2: Teams such as the New Orleans Saints can draft a QB on Day 2 or 3, let him sit behind Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, then develop him to be their future starter.

Those ideas sound nice, especially for the Saints, who pick 28th and would have to pay a fortune to trade up for one of this year's top five prospects.



And it’s not impossible. Especially not with one of the greatest offensive coaches in league history in Sean Payton, who once helped discover and develop an undrafted Tony Romo with the Dallas Cowboys.



But the actual track record of teams selecting a quarterback outside of the top 40 picks, then adding some time and seasoning into the recipe to produce a future starter, is rarer than you might expect.



Over the past 15 years, only eight quarterbacks who weren’t drafted in the top 40 have won more than eight games as a starter for the team that chose them: Wilson (98), Prescott (42), Kirk Cousins (26), Nick Foles (21 in two stints with the Philadelphia Eagles), Trent Edwards (14), Chad Henne (13), Trevor Siemian (13) and Tarvaris Jackson (10).

The NFC East is very well represented in those exceptions - not to mention Romo.

I won't say no to a trade up for Lance, but otherwise I like taking Trask and letting him develop for the year given all the other options we have at QB. Not sure who we'll cut...we can't carry 4 QB's on the roster. But I definitely would select a QB this year, looks to be a good class.

[tontoz]

If Atlanta stays at 4 and takes pitts that opens the door for us to get a QB. Problem is that Denver and NE also need QBs.
