Ugh. I’m still not over SB 52.
Just one tackle. Just one! that was all I was asking for.

Didn’t we trade down just before sternberger.We lost out on Fant, Smith, Knox, Warring, and Sternberger. I am most pi$$ed about losing Sternberger to Houston one pick ahead of us. But we ended up with Winovich so it worked out.

I am not really happy with it....yet. There is a lot of glitz in the draft so far, but I hate to see BB / Josh take a first round WR; they have a terrible track record with high-round WRs. BB just cannot bring himself to draft a WR who is not a Boy Scout, but great WRs do not come in that favor. And who knows what Josh was thinking with his bad picks at Denver.
I have other question marks. Cajuste was wearing two knee braces in a picture I saw of him and holding a DE. I love Joejuan, but is he fast enough? Winovich has the right attitude, but he does not look that strong.
Ha. Just said the same thing. His ability in run support and coverage inside inside the hashes should not be undervalued. It's plus -plus.
Re: Thomas....reading issue.I included Thomas. I am assuming Burkhead will get released. It'll save the team $3 million I think.

Tells me we didn’t want him.
Tells me, as expected, instead of trying to recreate the past by jamming a square peg into a round hole, our offense evolves and puts less emphasis on the TE position.
Trying to fill gronks role is a mistake. No one can. You have to change the role and adapt. That’s exactly what our scheme is about.
We now have more big WRs on the roster than we have had in ten years combined. We aren’t chasing the past we are moving forward.
So the question I have this morning is, why Joejuan Williams over Greedy Williams? Both are big corners, but Greedy was rated higher...
I am on board with all the picks except Cajuste...he has been injury prone (knees) and gets overpowered often....I think BB should have gone earlier for OL as priority...I think we missed out on several other awesome potential players but like you say....they didn’t meet BB or other coaches qualifications....I am not really happy with it....yet.

Yep. Harris> Burk. After watching more of him no question he's an upgrade.I think Harris moves ahead of burkhead.
He is the ideal piece to back up both Michel and white.
Bb had always preferred when possible to have a backup to rb1 to get a drive per half or so. Harris can also back up or take some snaps from white as passing game back bringing a better runner into the mix.
It’s really what burkheads role was but Harris will be a huge improvement.
If Harris has rookieitis burkhead can stay in that role.
Film junkie, more versatile, elite quickness and apparently also perfect culture fit.
Burkhead still is versatile, plays special teams etc. no reason we wouldn’t keep 4 real RBs.Yep. Harris> Burk. After watching more of him no question he's an upgrade.
This might be it for Burk

Not sure if you are debating or agreeing?BB recently stated publicly the need for big corners.
Nobody can have too many good secondary players. While everyone chases pass rushers.....nobody noticed recent SB champions are secondary based.
Go look at the Tavon Wilson threads from 2012. BB has been looking for versatile "jack of all trade" type players because it's going to five skill guys vs seven or eight defenders in space.
We might even keep 5 true RBsBurkhead still is versatile, okays special teams etc. no reason we wouldn’t keep 4 real RBs.
