That's what they said about Lamar. They said he needed to play TE.

Respectfully disagree on Lamar. He was productive in college, way more than Richardson in the little he showed..

But pundits still claimed he'd never make it as a QB and needed to play a different position. I seriously doubt Richardson is as horrendous as you claim. Supposedly he made all the throws at his pro day. Yes, it was against air, but he still made them. Some teams will feel he only needs to pass the ball 15-20 times a game. Teams will be stacking the box so tightly all he'd need to do would be to toss the ball in the general area of generally ignored receivers.

That's why he'll probably go in the first round.

If he makes it to us maybe we get an offer to trade back and pick up an extra day two pick.

We're trading up.

I know we are. We can't help ourselves. On the flip side, we struggle with depth after giving away picks in the draft each year. It's a vicious cycle with no end in sight. We need better depth and maybe that should come from the draft. Just sayin". :beatnik:

I think we had decent depth, but several of them suffered injuries, as well. Honestly, there aren't enough good players in the world to go three deep at every position without major drop-offs in ability. It's even getting tough to have top quality starters at every position across the league.

That's a reason to grow the game across the globe and increase the potential player pool. They need solid farm leagues to develop players.

We only looked like we had decent depth Guido. If we are unable to start our players due to the inordinate amount of annual injuries then we need better depth. We can't continue to sustain these devastating injuries or we need better depth. Something has to go. I would suggest trading up less and using those mid round picks to develop into back up roles and eventual starters.

So, we had decent depth last year, and as you say injuries happen across the league, but then why do they happen more to us? And if not more often than other teams then why is our depth so shallow? I'll tell you why? We only draft five players a year. There is no competition at the back end of the roster, fighting for a spot. We keep drafting like we're one player away but in reality we are several supporting players away from having decent depth to make a playoff run.

LOL.

He'll still be an NFL QB, just now he'll be a "project" instead of a guy drafted to be the franchise QB.
