Both Cam Smith and Channing Tindall have been terrible draft picks so far. You can't waste picks in the 2nd and 3rd on guys that can't get on the field.

- Thread starter OrangeBowl
- Start date
I agree on that. This team can't afford to have their 2nd round picks riding the pine.Here is a recap for you to read on Cam Smith the prospect

Everything you need to know about South Carolina CB and 2023 NFL Draft prospect Cam Smithwww.cbssports.com
He was clearly a highly rated prospect, I think the bigger question is what went wrong that he can't get himself onto the field
Smith could absolutely be on the field. Fangio won't let him.
But this conversation is just moving goal posts to the point of guessing now.Hunter Long was a 3rd rounder too
Yep another draft bust.
No it’s not. If he could play he should have been on the field regardless of Fangio. Are you going to stick up for Tindall too?Smith could absolutely be on the field. Fangio won't let him.
Same thing. Tindall was in two games this year in trash time and played fine. I don't have a lot of faith in Fangio. I think hes a stubborn old curmudgeon who holds grudges on young players who don't do what he says when he says it. But like I said, it's guessing.
And Fangio is literally the gatekeeper of them both being on the field, whom do you think makes that call?
Maybe but if these guys were really good players they would be on the field. Some other teams have their draft picks from the first three rounds make an impact from day 1.Same thing.

I recall the Cam Smith selection being a Fangio one as his system relies on multiple CBs.

All great prospects. If Verse fell, I don't see how Miami could pass him up.

It's a valid question. I watched the Detroit game and Goff had all day to find the open receiver. If Tua had close to that, I do think he could be the guy. Absolutely.
Like Goff, he's not going to make too many off schedule plays. That's just not in Tua's skillset, although we've seen some of that in the past.

I have also made a similar statement before about what Tua might be able to do with ample time.
Ppl like to point to Tua getting rid of the ball as an asset, which it is, but when it's situation where he has to do it all the time I'm not sure it is really all that effective v good defenses.
He has to throw the ball so early that not only does it give defenders a opportunity to jump obvious routes, it precludes any route combos to develop. There's no time.
That also somewhat explains why Tyreek is, by far, his first option. DBs have to give him a lot of room or he will just run by them. Defenders on other receivers can press, knowing they often only have to be close for 2 seconds.
I know that got a bit of track from the discussion.....lol.

First thing’s first, gotta get rid of the dead weight first. Raekwon Davis, Ogbah, Armstead, Bailey & Howard all gotta go.
