A fourth round center and this draft would be perfect.

We don't need 3 OL and Dalvin Cook will be a very good NFL RB.

If we get lucky (stop laughing), Reiter could be our center. Maybe not an allstar, but possibly "serviceable", right? And before you dismiss the Dalvin Cook selection, remember Crow might not be back, and we could very easily need a premier RB. I'm obviously an FSU homer, but Cook is a rare talent that can house the ball whenever he touches it, and he can also hurt you through the air. Additionally, he will pick up the blitz too. I'm not saying it's what I WOULD DO, but it'd be fun!

PoeticG

I've heard several people say Cook is their chosen RB.

I thought that Leonard Fourette was the de facto front runner for top RB this draft?

I also really like McCafferey.

Who do you like the best though?

tiamat63

If we lose Crow then I'm cool rolling with McCaffery 2nd and possibly holding steady with what we have.

So many ways to be effective on offense in today's NFL. If you have several capable backs, you're good to go.

My toes still hurt from the Raiders - Browns game....red right 88.....there was so much pain that day....

Ya, I remember it well. Damn, would analytics have led Sam to try the FG instead? I thought about that when Hue stated that analytics leads to his play calling. That was why he went for 2 early amongst other plays

There was pain for me that day too Mud- but it had nothing to do with my toes. I was sitting in what was to become the Dawg Pound and Red Right 88 happened right in front of me. It's a nightmare I'll never get over.

But on a physical level, I was quite toasty in my Gerry Expedition parka that day swilling Jack Daniels with my pals. Who BTW, happened to be in town from their home in Alaska- they weren't much concerned about the weather either, LOL!! Though Tim was warning me about the potential dangers of walking into an unheated cabin when it's 40 below and hitting a shot or two of super cooled booze- people have died from trying that.

My coldest game ever happened a few years later against the Rams. Our traveler beers were freezing in our hands on the walk over from the Tailgate to the Stadium.

I say if we're gonna get a QB let's protect him... what do ya say? lol

Then we got Myles Garrett's counterpart, on the cheap. We also picked up our new backfield. Duke Johnson and Donnel Pumphrey will be lightning and quicksilver back there! Stevenson is also a guy that will help out the QB. All in?

darren15

Only problem with that in reality is the Jets are very high on Trubisky and he will be gone by 10 .....like the Hall pick in the 4th but we need a corner as I think Haden will get traded

RoyceRolls

Maybe just a bit of an overreaction to our O-line woes.

Tour2ma

Anything worth doing.... etc...

I predict we draft 4 RB's and a LT.....

LOL! You have a 50/50 chance of getting that right with this unpredictable FO.

A 1st baseman, a point guard, a 2-handicap, and two goalies is my bet.

Canton Dawg

I find it ironic that we drafted a half dozen or so receivers, and we'll probably need more.

Mudfly

they should be alright, providing they keep Pryor and Hawkins........in time, Coleman and Higgins should be adequate.....and Devalve is looking better and better everyday......great catch last week....possible heir apparent to Barny?

tho you are right.....still shaking my head over those picks.....and, now, even more.....considering how they look so far....

Canton Dawg

Coleman reminds me of a smaller version of Braylon Edwards.

If the guy has a bad case of dropsies, he's not gonna be around long in the NFL.

I agree about Devalve, he could end up being our long term solution for Barnidge.

That Devalve catch was outstanding, and I REALLY like what I see from this kid. He looks very natural once he has the ball, and my only concern is his ability to stay healthy. I believe he struggled with injuries in college, and he was hurt several times this year.

PoeticG

Has everyone but myself written off Josh Gordon?!!

He's coming back.

If he doesn't then that is on our FO. He's made mistakes but he's costing US nothing but disappointment. When he gets his act together that disappointment turns quickly to excitement as Gordon, Coleman and Pryor light up first energy stadium!
