While I admit that is an intelligent highly scientific scheme its far to Robotic. Backup RB depth b4 a much needed starting legit playmaking WR. Are you kidding? RBs r a dime a dozen. Furthermore if the starting WRs are feared and respected and the OLine can compete man up. RB will take care of itself. Dominant OLine and feared playmakers and I'll get a 4th or 6th round RB to rush for 1500 yards. Bryce Brown,a talented Rb just went for a 7th rounder.
BTW I like Housler. Big potential platogetherh Tom Brady. I also like a HEALTHY returned to form Finley. Mike Williams would have been nice to pair with Dobson. I like Dobson a lot. Its just at this stage he isn't the MAN who can suck up double coverage and still kick butt. Even if he ever is that guy means little now. He will be awesome as part of a duo for now.
I would prefer to give up a #2 draft pick than Dobson. He and Andre would be lethal together. There's Noway in HE!! They want Amendola as part of that trade. They already have dead cap space when Johnson leaves. Amendola at his overpaid price as psrt of a deal would make thebackuph. For taking on Johnsons cap hit while not having his production will take some compensation. Mallet and a #2 for starters while a young cheap potential playmaker would entice them such as Boyce and Thompkins. Most likely Boyce. I would give up both over Dobson. The #2 pick is necessary, any team would laugh at anything less.
A #2 isn't giving up much. Would prefer getting Johnson than Tavon or a Cunningham or a backup qb or RB. I liked this draft as a whole Loved Easley even with the risk. Liked OLine picks although I liked Antonio Richardson over Fleming, unless Fleming is projected to Guard. Where his power at 6'5 330 with decent athleticism would stand out I really like Zach Moore. More raw ability than 2nd rounder Kony Early. BUT obviously a wr was needed. I like idea trading up for Marquise Lee. If We were really that high on GP we could have traded Mallet for a #3 then traded a future #2 and Boyce with the #3 we got for Mallet to select Garappolo. That's if we really see Jimmy as our futuQB starter. Otherwise he was just a backup QB with no major confidence as a future franchise QB. Or we could have traded up couple spots for Paul Richardson or Allen Robinson then traded Mallet for Texans #3 draft pick along with future #2 or #3 to land GP. That is only if we are truly that high on JG being anything nearly similar to Manning's successor Andrew Luck. Which personally I do.
With that said,most fans would have been happy with landing a legit feared WR like Richardson,Robinson,or Marty Bryant as well through some maneuvering. Bryant would have been the cheapest and most easy to obtain. It would of cost us backup RB white at most. A small price for a high ceiling WR.
Could have traded Mallet to gain a pick,then maneuvered to still get those OLineman,Zach Moore,Jimmy Garappolo and a Wr talent. Whether Bryant in round4 over White or maneuvering to acquire them guys along with Lee or Richardson or Robinson to pair with Dobson. Jimmy Johnson who many consider is very likely the greatest Coach/GM ever, did lots of maneuvering, to get the particular players he needed and he felt would become standouts and dominate like he required of his players. Rather than stand put and accept whatever trash fell to him.
You may not realize this but i think that people who actually believe they can do a better job than Belichick are idiots. You can play make believe all you want but I really have no interest in it. Belichick operates at a major disadvantage structurally and has for over a decade and still puts one of the best teams in football out there every season and the idea that you can build a better roster is so far beyond absurd as to be meaningless.
