Please reconsider.

I know he's a CB but I see him as a good safety too. I think he'll make the switch like Webb or we can use him like Tyrann Matheiu. He's a great open-field tackler.

I think Ramsey is the real deal but I do agree with you, he's a safety because of his instincts, range and lack of ball-skills.

The NBA signed a massive $24 B TV deal this year while the NFL has a $27 B contract in place. The NFL has a cap for a 53 man roster while its just a 15 man roster in the NBA. Until the NFL renews their TV contract in 2022, I don't think NFL teams will be shelling out that much money... just yet. Anyways, Davis is a beast and deserves that money. He's going to be the best player in the league in a couple of years.

lol well you did say "name a top tier backup". All the other guys I named may be bad but are still better than Schaub. Schaub is what you call a disaster. Also trust me when I say that Garoppolo and Osweiller are good.

Bruce Gradkowski, Mettenberger, Osweiller, Glennon, Stanton, Garoppolo are all top tier backup QB, not Schaub. Schaub will make the team because he knows the offense and not because he's beating the other QBs. I also think very highly of Renner.

You understand that the only reason Ozzie signed him cuz he knows Kubiak's offense, not cuz he can play. His better days are behind him and he is in no way, shape or form a top tier backup QB. Ozzie should have just hired Schaub as an offensive consultant.

without an elite defense... or superior run game

i was surprised but this is no problem for tucker

tbh, i like Senquez but that was a reach and a panic pick

Finally everyone can shut up about Ozzie being scared of drafting WR in the first round. Still, I'm very disappointed with this pick.

How is he a locker room cancer? He's just passionate. In my eyes, he is the 2nd best 3-down TE in the game behind Gronk.

With his athleticism he probably could play CB at a high level. It is a steep learning curve for the safety position and relying solely on athleticism won't cut it.

Read an article just now saying that he looks at Ozzie as a role model and wants to be a GM. He's a smart kid with his masters in sports management as well. Intriguing prospect.

A decade is a long time. Have you factored in how much technology has changed the way scouts evaluate prospects in the last decade. With nowadays's technology anybody can find any prospect no matter how small a school he comes from and evaluate them. Back in the day, the draft was a crap shoot, nowadays, it isn't as much so.

@BmoreBird22 I am convinced that there has not been any receiver worth taking in the first couple rounds of the draft without reaching. Use last year's draft as an example. Watkins, Evan, ODB were all picked before us. That leaves us with the number #1 ILB Mosley. After our pick, Cooks, Benjamin, Marquise Lee, Jordan Matthews and Paul Richardson are all picked so that leaves us with the #2 top-rated prospect Timmy.

"What is the difference taking a high WR as opposed to a high DL?" Well, first of all there are no top WR prospect when we pick but there usually is a top prospect on the defensive side of the ball. CJ was the #1 ILB prospect last year so Ozzie picked him over Kelvin Benjamin. Why? Because he was the 5th best WR prospect in the draft, not the #1 prospect.

Let me name a top WR we've drafted... THERE ARE NONE. Why? Because for the last decade all the top WR prospects have been taken in the top 10 while we have been picking below 20 for most of the decade and this is a passing league where WR are overvalued. The FO are not going to sell the house just to trade up and get the next Randy Moss even if there is one because that is too much risk.

Ozzie is not ignoring the position, he's just not taking any chances. Players are assets and Ozzie is just thinking like a businessman. Ozzie is a HOF tight end, do you think he doesn't know what a good receiver looks like?

... Demaryius broke his foot, Dez was a problem child, Graham was sooo raw playing only one year of football, Gronk had back surgery, TY was a small school prospect. They all had knocks to them but they just panned out and there would have been no way of knowing at the time. Ozzie just doesn't gamble as much as other GMs. Look at Mosley, he was probably the most consistent, non-flashy linebacker in last year's draft.

you simply cannot compare Jennings to Gordon, ODB or Andre unless you can sign them for 4 million which would be laughable

@Ravenslifer They may be old but they have more drive than the young pups and winning a SB is all that matters.

Hey at least we know he looks good in purple aready

This also makes Ozzie unpredictable in the draft so he can snatch players when other teams least expect

JoeyFlex5, u sir are all about the patterns and history and I like it. Ozzie usually tries to fill as many holes with cut/released players (so it doesn't affect his comp. picks) before the draft so he has the most flexibility to take the BPA during the draft.
