Wasn't to disapprove or approve of anything you posted.. it's just to put up his production.. as rookie coming in he fared very well.. for me.. speaking for myself I was impressed with the kid..
5 picks with 6th and 7th rounders. I know it wont happen but I'd prefer to trade all those for a 3rd for 4th round pick. That would give us 6 picks in the 1st 5 rounds that will fill in any empty gaps left over from FA. I think we need higher quality players.
The only trade pick that panned out was KC.
We saw in the superbowl the kind of back we HOPE Henderson will evolve into. The superbowl MVP was a back who combined speed with EVASIVENESS. Henderson is only 50% there. We can look at it 2 ways. The GDT mentality is to say he's a bad pick who can only do one thing and will never give us consistent positive rushing yards, OR the more realistic attitude that he was remarkably productive given how raw he is and how high his ceiling is.
You have a much better chance of using two of those 6s to get a 5 or to use them in trade ups (e.g., 63 to 59 or something).
I actually like Dell Pettus as our 3rd safety, I think he only had 100 defensive snaps so very small sample size but when on the field had seemed to make plays and not become a huge liability.
Pettus is getting better and to your point he did make some nice plays when given opportunity he's physical and is getting better with the coaching.. speaking of the secondary as a whole.. how much of a benefit would it be to have dial back.. he was actually playing well in camp and unfortunately had the knee... once healthy I like him to be in the mix at CB..
Can't have everything.... where would you put it?
I agree about the higher rounds, but by 4th round, I've always liked throwing a bunch of darts and bringing in a lot of people to camp and see if you've got any gems.
Dial is a good prospect. He and Woods are our backup CB's. Austin in an RFA. In any case, Woods moved past him in the depth chart last season.
Agreed.. Austin is a mystery to me.. he was one of the best players on the team all training camp and was with the top unit while gonzo was sidelined.. he then started giving up plays and hurting the team during the regular season.. I like dial and woods to be the guys behind gonzo and C. Davis.. at CB.. wouldn't hurt to bring in another veteran in the offseason too..
I like dial to once healthy continue to grow as a player.. he's a big CB at 6'0.. and is physical... we have some guys we with size in Austin but he's just not been playing with the same technique and football smarts he showed previously.. we need another veteran in the rotation.
