    Okay, at least I know where you are coming from and I appreciate your specifics why. The only thing I'll caution you and others on is how much to make out of an All Star Game even though you acknowledged 1 game doesn't make a player. For example, Charlie Frye was the MVP of the Senior Bowl.

    Yeah true-honestly in just my opinion he didn't pass the eye test at all. He looked like a man playing with boys in really the 2nd/3rd tier of draft prospects. I know my smell test means jack shit but just how I felt about how he looked.

    Appreciate your honesty my man. One thing you should always do is trust your eye balls.

    When I watched the combine, I had to rewind twice all day and both times it was him. Then I remembered this is the guy they kept calling a potential steal for somebody mid-late in the draft on sports radio here in Nashville. I can't remember if it was Frank Wycheck or Blaine Bishop (both former Titans) but he had a big fan here thinking he could make an NFL roster. So, I checked out the numbers and saw 96 TD passes in the last 2 years. He punctuated his career with a 12-2 record in 2015 with over 5,000 yards passing and a 71.9 comp % in an offense that scored 40 points a game with receivers he's developed chemistry with. I saw him beat Vandy easier than (SEC Runner-up) Florida could. I summed it all up as the right NFL coach with the right system should be able to develop him.

    All that said J, when it comes to QBs I'm kind of like Bart Simpson giving advice on behavioral etiquette. 1 time when all of America told us our only choice was Tim Couch - the QB who went to the team with the worst record in 1998 was Donovan McNabb at #2 overall in 1999. Their fan base booed the pick for a Ricky Williams who would eventually take a marijuana sabbatical from football while all McNabb did was lead Philly to the playoffs from about 2000 through 2010/2011.That included 5 NFC Championship Appearances and 1 SB. I was born and raised in Upstate NY always interested in SU Football and I didn't have the first freakin clue what this guy was ready to do.Was popular opinion right about Ricky Williams being the answer to all of Philly's problems? All I knew allegedly was Tim Couch was the only thing that made sense. The more I read that everywhere - the more I believed it. I don't think he was bad considering we made the playoffs in 2002; but he wasn't the same game changer McNabb turned out to be. McNabb was doing everything Peyton Manning was doing without the Dallas Clarks, Reggie Waynes, Marvin Harrisons, Marshall Faulks/Edge James although Villanova's Brian Westbrook was a big help and TO was there for a cup of coffee. I didn't have the QB intellect to project such a thing from the 1 college program I saw more than all others. When I read the Veer Option offense was too unconventional for consideration - I bought it hook line and sinker. Andy Reid? He already Coached up a QB in GB from that style of offense at So Miss that rushed for well about 3500 yards in his high school career (Brett Favre) so he felt he had the perfect system match for McNabb. The numbers, post seasons, Pro Bowls and Conference MVPs tell us Reid got the best game changer in the 99 draft.

    I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

    lynch is a bum.

    if they selected him for whatever reason their analytics would say that analytics means jack shit.

    To trade down, you need someone willing to trade up. Lynch is slotted to go mid late first round. You probably remember how much Atlanta had to give the Browns to move up to take Julio Jones. & why the sudden change of heart? You always wanted us to take the stud when we were drafting high.

    Maybe not a bum but a over rated Captain Checkdown, if you want to believe the analytic charts. He's a big step down from Goff or Wentz.

    Looking at what we have on our roster, taking one QB early 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round, and then taking a second QB later in the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th round would be fine with me so long as they are doing it because both were the best picks available. I would not mind getting Goff or Wentz but I am not going to be upset if we don't either. So long as we don't reach with our picks, I will be happy.

    Understandable, we have 11 picks. Also consider this. If you were an undrafted FA eyeing up your best chance to not only make an NFL roster but to get significant playing time right away - would there be a better choice for you than Cleveland in 2016? How could there be?

    Look what Seattle did in the mid-late rounds as well as 2 of their starting WRs being undrafted (Kearse & Baldwin).

    Michael Bennett was an undrafted free agent as well.

    I think I figured out my issue with multiple QB picks in the draft... only one plays at a time. Unique among the starting 22 if you make a slight allowances for RBs.

    That is one possible plan. I think it may be something the analytics guys may endorse.

    Ghoolie has maintained all along that Lynch is a stud....

    Or not......no one really knows for sure at this point. See the thread where it was listed that Russell Wilson was the 6th QB taken in his draft. Behind the Christian Ponders/Blaine Gabberts/Jake Lockers etc.

    All I am saying is: we don't know.

    Actually I was wrong on this. It's Matt Johnson from Bowling Green that they love.

  • Ghoolie has maintained all along that Lynch is a stud....



    I proposed this elsewhere: Taking Bosa at #2...then trading up from 32 to take Lynch.



    Re this proposal: Does anyone think that Lynch will drop to #32? What would have to be given up to move into the mid 1st round to get him?


    (Assuming the PBBJ guys think enough of him to do so)


  • I don't see it with Lynch at all but someone may swoop in to sing his praises.

  • Lynch is a stud...but he will need a few years, to hopefully become

    a star for somebody...maybe.

    I think the idea to draft Bosa as a 3-4 lb over Miles Jack, or Jalen Ramsey, or

    even Buckner, or Elliot, and some others... that's just silly.
