With Vick, it was the first 5 yards that set him loose and to the eye, special. Fields has long speed and a bigger frame. Both skillsets are great, but different.
He has a unique technique. On pass sets, he waits for the DL to get hands on him first then apply a counter move. My only concern is if he faces a strong handed edge rusher that uses that against him. We'll see real soon. I'm optimistic!
We are missing depth at left tackle. My personal preference would be to let our rookie season in at right tackle, as that is where his best experience is. It is always risky to start a rookie there anyway. Love or hate Leno, his experience will be missed. Our depth at middle linebacker is also a concern. Otherwise. I like it...
I would cut Graham. Although his production was good last year, his presence this year will stunt Kmet's growth as they play the same position. When they implemented Kmet in the short passing game last year, he showed more playmaking ability and some nasty attitude that fires a team up. I like Hicks for one more year. 75% of Hicks is better than anything else we have up front.
No, no, no, hell no! Yes, Fields is dripping with talent. But he needs to learn the ropes. Bringing him along slowly is absolutely the way to go. Too many QB's are ruined by early expectations.
Miller is clearly on notice. Like I said in another post. He was publicly on the trading block and nobody wanted him. Now he has to get his head together or his NFL days are done. Somehow, I think he'll have a decent season.
Remember, Pace and Nagy have the smartest guy in the room syndrome. Only a fool would think he could draft 5 guys a year and fill a legit NFL roster. Love Jenkins, hate the trade. We could have had Dillon Radunz at 52 and still have our 3rd and pick WR Amari Rodgers from Clemson.
Nobody wanted Anthony Miller. If I'm Nagy, I sit Miller down and essentially tell him that he is the most gifted receiver on the team, but nobody wants you. Get your shit together or this will be over in training camp and remember, nobody wanted you.
I don't think it's a rumor. They are reporting that the brass flew to Rodgers a few times to patch things up, to no avail. They even offered him a contract extension. Also, this is a dude that doesn't even converse with his family.
Here is what lucked into. I had a scenario where there were many players that other teams wanted more than I did, so I got 4 trade downs in the first round. I love the result. Also, some of the picks I love the most got the worst grade...
