-I've been meaning to post this for about a month now(busy)
-This year i'm getting more annoyed at Mock drafts from experts. Fans are 1 thing, but experts should see a larger picture..
-~Howcome experts always mock draft us & every team based on the teams need at the moment?
Or having somewhat mediocre teams drafting non skilled positions in the top 15-ish?
-What kills me is all the Pettigrew perfect fit nonsense.. We are thin at skilled positions like OLB,DE,CB and maybe even QB.. And i see Guard & FS a need also.
-But what expert mock drafters like Sporting News and whomever else has a opinion forget is that a player could emerge on any team at any time..
--Guess i get annoyed at TE in the 1st when 2 things-
1- we are still mediocre and can't afford not to draft a skilled position. IMO TE in 1st is for teams picking 20 or later.(IMO of course)
2- When it's obvious that WE are a struggling team. Proof is we've been picking around 11 for years now. Pattern?
-So with that in mind, why don't the mockers and fans alike want TE in the 2nd or 3rd? That way we can get a CB like Jenkins in the 1st or a stud Linebacker like Cushing etc.
--Shouman did emerge last year. The team likes him & i was impressed with his power YAC. I agree that we need more, but not like we aren't used to it..We had 1 year w/ Fluite to Big-Riemersma and besides that it was Metzelaars & M.C Kellar..
--T.0. Might mean the difference and convince some fans who are pissed at ignoring the position because a #2 Wideout might be our answer. I'm sure is deff is with Freaking TO.O, but even a TJ Housh or any clutch wideout would amade a difference IMO...
---I base this on the way Trent Edwards targets the short stuff. Fred Jackson,Josh Reed, and Marshawn Lynch. Something we aren't used to, but we miss BIGTIME form Kelly & Thurm...Who remembers Travis Henry standing wide open on pass plays waving his arms & Drew ignoring him? I think Trent Uses the RB's enough to be the alternate to hurting form lack o' TE threat. Same could be said vice versa i suppose. Like how much MORE effective Trent could be with one. But imo it's not as needed as when we had JP at the helm...
-Curious to why "experts" don't evaluate Teams & QB's before just seeing a what they think is a obvious pick -Pettigrew. I just don't see our staff ignoring more important positions...
-I could use some thoughts from Zoners about what they think when they see Pettigrew on mocks & how the mocker always says something like "perfect fit" etc..
