He's quite a bit better than Fisher and at a position that can actually directly influence the outcome of a game...

Brays ceiling isn't close to that of Geno Smith, though.

At this point, Bray has a cannon and not much else. He displayed poor pocket awareness, poor ball security, poor ability to read even vanilla defenses and most of his passes lacked touch or accuracy.

Add to that, he is basically a statue back there.

Geno can throw for 300 and run for another 50-75. Those rushing yards are huge when defenses want to run strict man coverage.

Also, if they don't want to take a guy at 1, trade down. We were already talking to Miami about Albert at that time and they traded up in the draft with Oakland from 12 to 3....gave up a second to move up...if they gave that much up to move up to 3, one would have to think they would give up the same to move to 1 instead of 3 being the slotted contracts are basically similar. Move down to 12 and take bpa while recouping tat second we gave up to get Alex Smith.

They basically came out and said they think Eric Fisher is the best player in the draft.

A generational talent.

I hope they Ed up being right, but the early returns aren't exactly confidence inspiring.

No one would trade for the 1 pick. Please acknowledge that as a fact.

Unless you've got one of those rare guys with a Brees/Brady release, your QB better be able to run.

It's the best part of Alex's game and we wouldn't be 10-3 without it.

Especially not in last year's draft.

Which of those things has Geno shown he's good at in the NFL?

But Miami did trade for 3rd overall, right?

You don't make sense.

Nobody was gonna get full value in a trade, but you can't tell me Miami wouldn't have moved to 1 for the same compensation they gave up to go to 3.

Give me Kenny Vaccaro, Sheldon Richardson, Star Loteuleiuoesddt, EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Eric Reid, or any of a few others and a second rounder over Eric Fisher.

Shit if what we wanted was a right tackle, how about DJ Fluker and a second rounder for Eric Fisher?

And you figured that out by dissecting Brays preseason snaps? Holy smokes I had no idea we were in the presence of a genious.

How the F did you you get all this from your limited exposure to Bray?

Did you not watch preseason?

How many fumbles did he have? How many times did people liken his short game to Brodie Croyle because he was throwing lasers everywhere? How many picks did he throw? How many times did he stare guys down?

It doesn't take a genious (cp spelling) to see these things during preseason.

He's won one game for the Rams and has been invisible all year outside of that.

Fisher blows. I agree. If I could redraft, I'd take Sheldon Richardson.

That must be what he meant. Austin can win you A game.

I still think Fisher is improving. He's played a lot better the 2nd half of the season. You can see his potential talent. Not sure he was really worthy of the #1 pick but so far this draft doesn't look like the strongest. Of course the Chiefs would get the first pick in a weak year.

Geno was a better prospect than Bray. Bray was just a raw arm... he still pretty much is. That said Geno's strength was accuracy and his accuracy has been terrible, so there's that.

Or Vaccaro.

Or Mingo

I am waiting for the answers. It is your argument. I think Bray has more potential than Geno.
