Be nice to have Jabrill Peppers
How was Harris a need? He was never expected to start. Lamp would've been drafting for need. Or Foster. No, we took him because we thought he was the best value. Go figure. Then again, I believe it was Dallas that wanted Harris, too.
I know this was the thought process of our FO, but I have a hard time seeing how the best value in the first round was someone who will only play situational for us.
I agree with you, it's a shame that going BPA resulted in taking what appears to be a rather limited prospect.
Would only be useful in a scheme that could utilize him properly. IOW, not us.
i'm just saying life is fluid, so is football. when you continue to draft projects to fit a scheme, you end up looking like the Dolphins.
its like when you overdraft a Tannehill instead of a Kuechly or a James over a Cooks and on and on.
you can't pass on natural instinctive players for scheme. scheme don't mean jack with a sub par roster.
we all want Charles to earn his roster spot and playing time, but I've seen this movie before.
Ever seen the Patriots roster yer after year after year? It's consistently filled with late round draft picks and other team's castoffs. Scheme and strategy is everything.
scheme theory always sounds good, especially when you employ the greatest QB you've ever seen. the coach is pretty good too.
I just saw Taco's sack dance. I pray that he never sacks the QB again...ever.
Agree on the celebrations thing. It had gotten stupid w what constitutes "excessive" etc. I still remember in the '82 championship game w the score still 0-0, Mark Gastineau had a strip sack on woodley deep in our territory - only he didn't realize he had caused a fumble, and was in such a hurry to get up and do his patented sack dance that he didn't realize the ball was lying there on the ground right under his feet. I believe it was Ed Newman who alertly recovered for us and averted disaster. Let these guys celebrate - if they don't get the PAT off in time due to too much grab-assing after the score that's on them etc.Yeah, it's putrid. Though, I like it for one reason only; the NFL is now allowing team celebrations after years of banning/penalizing them.
