Better QB play = better roster Howell is miles ahead of Mac

Don’t take this the wrong way because I’m not comparing him to great receivers but there are a lot of tall lanky guys built like him who simply don’t have the ability to make those cuts in the short game. Douglas has a bigger advantage there being so close to the ground. But there are things...

Even if he does, how do we know they could connect?

We really don’t know what we have. That has to do with having Patricia here and with Mac. No one here knows what we might have if another QB had this group. We might even have a dynamic set of WRs with Bourne, Thornton and Douglas

Off of Off of another good game? I need to see much more from him to make that assessment. Example: throwing downfield. Or, composure under a pass rush. We don’t know how he will do with better weapons. There are great WRs in this league who have played with lesser QBs and been frustrated. Look...

They do. The Phins did. They were sending everyone and shutting down the run

Tom Brady is on the other sideline. As a coach you’re expecting the Patriots to be the ones who kill the clock. Yes you need to score a TD and you’re trying to do that on 1st, on 2nd, whatever, but if it takes 4 downs you don’t want to give the Patriots 30 seconds.

Especially when you don’t actually know which teams are going to be excellent. Other than the Chiefs

Is this your first NFL draft? Why are you bringing up busts? Do you want people Countering with hits? What’s the point?

Seems like a rerun of the Dugger pick

Williams was slow, Mapu is fast. Williams was predicted to go where he did. Mapu was predicted a round or two later. They aren’t the same

Given some of the costs last night I can see why they didn’t. 80 for 93 and 120 is steep. Imagine going up from 46 to 35. Would’ve cost the 76

They tried to trade up, according to reports

Just because one guy from the 3rd round makes it doesn’t mean we should’ve taken one of the WRs. People always talk about Deebo and Metcalf in the 2nd round several years ago. But the other 5 WRs taken all busted. Yes, one will hit. Which one? Is it 5’8” Josh Downs or 5’6” Tank Dell?

I don’t care if he’s not a tone setting tackler. There, I said it. It’s not anywhere near the top 10 things he needs to be for us
