People want 1st rd picks to play like pro bowlers from day one. As if there is no learning curve.I thought Finheaven already called this one an official bust? Confused.

This is true. Part of the reason for the impatience, I think, is that w contracts being what they are you only get 4 years guaranteed w a rookie. So as a fan you hate hearing this is a redshirt year etc. It's unfair I know. I just think the urgency is there from the fan's perspective because the guy can be gone via FA before you know it.People want 1st rd picks to play like pro bowlers from day one.

Or fans look around and see players like Fournette and TJ watt (btw hasn’t done anything since week 1)and wonder why their 1st rd pick isn’t Doing anything.This is true.

Thank you very much sir. As a fin fan for 40 years, dated back to Woodly years and have yet experienced championship glory, your statement give me glimpse of hope to carry on.Harris is showing some traits and skills that will translate to long term success in the NFL. It would be tremendous if his progress continues along with our other D rooks.... Not to get ahead of myself, but I hope we're looking back and saying that last years draft of Harris, McMillian, Tankersly, Godchaux and Vincent were the core for a championship caliber d
Last year we were saying the draft needs to be all defense. It pretty much was and it’s paying dividends as the defense has done a 180 compared to last year. Maybe next year’s draft needs to be all offense.Harris is showing some traits and skills that will translate to long term success in the NFL.

We need more balance in the draft. Don't forget that in 3 more years all the guys you mentioned will be coming off their rookie contract and chances are we won't be able to afford all of them given the way Tannenbaum handles the cap...if they all progress like we hope. Let's just not put the cart before the horse here on their development.Last year we were saying the draft needs to be all defense.

I'd sneak a front7 defender in the top 3...maybe FS in the draft depending on how McDonald looks...OL first three rounds, then TE and TE, then best player available.
TJ is not a FS and if he is put there he will be a fail..I'd sneak a front7 defender in the top 3...maybe FS in the draft depending on how McDonald looks...
Yeah, we'll see. As much as I don't like it, at least last year we were going with "interchangeable" safeties. Not really sure if that was just Joseph. I'd love to see a FS with great range, coverage skills and ball hawking paired with Jones.TJ is not a FS and if he is put there he will be a fail..
