Last nights first rounder.
I figured with all the bitching going on we could have a thread like this.


Knowing the way the picks before us fell, who would you rather have had with our pick?


No trading down, we have no idea where we would have went.


At 11, what pick would have made you not bitch.


I'm not arguing for the pick. Not a huge fan of it.


However, it was basically the only pick that brought us a guy that would start at a position of need. Only other guy who would have been a day 1 starter was Decastro.

Since they were worried about losing Poe if they traded back, I'm guessing that it was behind the Eagles and probably the Chargers, so around 19 or 20. At that point, they could have taken Jones, Mercilus, Hightower or DeCastro and still picked up Ta'amu or Chapman with the new picks or original 2nd.

I'm surprised they didn't ask if they could just cash the pick in.

I wouldn't have minded Mercilus or Ingram, but that also brings up what some have said around here the last month or so.



If you take one of those guys, where do you play them? Someone has to come off the field for that to happen.

Ingram is a versatile player. He can play ILB, OLB, DT/DE in a nickle package. You act like Houston and Hali are out there for every ****ing defensive snap that we have.

This won't be a popular comment, but I see Tannehill as the QB equivalent of Poe. I think I'd have felt exactly the same way had he been picked at 11. Wouldn't have been excited, wouldn't have been disappointed, it would have amounted to taking a big gamble on a major position of need, that's either going to boom gloriously or bust biblically, and I got no idea which way it's going to go.

I think the point is you can't compare Cox to Poe. Their body types are so far apart.

Cox doesn't have the necessary size to play the NT position.

So again we're comparing the DE spot vs NT.

I do like what Ingram would have brought versatility wise, but I don't think he's going to be able to play with his hand in the dirt.


I think alot of the reasoning for Poe, was that he could play everydown. Whether that be true or not.

I was high on him to begin with.



But after watching film and reading about him, I don't think he would have been much of an upgrade over Belcher.

Hightower is a great pick, but we would be coming back in round two targeting a nose tackle.

They brought Chapman in, and clearly didn't feel like he was going to cut it. If we can get Upshaw in round 2, I'm loving the Poe pick. Just absolutely beefing up our run defense.

At first I was meh about the pick, but the more I read about the kid and his background the more I liked him. High character guy(and team captain lol!). It's a gamble sure, but one could argue his lack of game performance was partially a result of a lack of coaching. You can't teach talent, but you can teach technique. The question is, are they willing to learn and work their asses off. I think this kid might be.

The pick that would have really made me scream was Decastro. Sorry, I just don't believe in taking a guard that early. In the 20s sure(which is where he went), but almost top 10? No way....

I would have liked a tradeback but didn't think it was very likely without a marquee player left.

I think given the circumstances this was the year to take a higher risk on a player at a position we are really desperately thin at talent. There wasn't a "sure thing" sitting there at NT and Cox, imo, is undersized for what we run. All things considered, assuming there were no viable trades that is, I can't fault the pick given where our off-season signings have put us.

DeCastro would have been a good pick had we needed a starter at G but we don't so take a flyer on a guy who has a great upside and if he busts you can at least look back and say there wasn't too much else there at the time.
