You dont draft a player in the 1st round to be a back up. I know the Packers did, and thats worked out ok, but with so many holes to fill - OT/DE/OLB/NT - you take a player that will start.
Based on this line "you take a player that will start", I know you aren't GrierYou dont draft a player in the 1st round to be a back up. I know the Packers did, and thats worked out ok, but with so many holes to fill - OT/DE/OLB/NT - you take a player that will start.
Anyone who thinks McCarthy is a first rounder is a fing idiot.Disclaimer: I dont want this to become a Tua pro/con shitstorm. This is a serious draft/football question for serious debate. PLEASE.
Question: If JJ. McCarthy is available at 21. Would you draft him to compete and be a backup this season? I've been thinking about this and although I support Tua, I would pull the trigger and take McCarthy. It gives me a solid rookie backup, and if Tua shows what we hope he is, then we have a great trade asset. If Tua isn't "the guy" then we have a replacement with a year of experience, ready to take over in 2025.
Thoughts?
I predict it will be WR Keon Coleman, FSU at 21.No. Need OL/WR at 21.
