Im So Upset With Day 2 Draft Strategy

Why nobody realizes that the Bell pick does 3 things is beyond me. Shows how easy it is to miss the point.

#1 The Bell pick allows you to put your best 11 players on the field in your nickel/sub package which you play in over 60% of the time because you are a passing team. So not only did you nab a possible replacement pick for Byrd in 1 year but you also gained a Starting S. Win

#2 The Bell makes up for missing out on a LB. You'd like to have grabbed a LB/S combo like Sua Cravens to maybe add to your Base/Nickel. Instead you couldn't fix that...so you had to do the next best thing. Draft a starter in nickel that also allows you to Kick Vaccaro down into that LB/S/CB role that you missed out on. We didn't draft a CB or LB but we drafted a S that can cover like a CB that allows our own S/CB/LB to play that position on 3rd downs.

#3 Because you are playing more zone and should see more tipped balls with blitzes you have someone on the back end who can turn those plays into INT's / TD's due to his ball skills. Thus ending drives or getting the ball back to the offense that you just added another WR to who can take a conservative 5yd screen and turn it into a 45 yd TD.


You guys just whine about prospects/moves without seeing the entire picture and how it makes sense in the grand prospect of things.

Would we have liked 10 picks .........YES........I'm sure.

However you cant address every neeed every year and thats why you quantify must/needs/wants because some of your wants like 2'OG or an Elite LB or Elite 1Tech might not get touched because they are WANTS and not NEEDS.

I'm sick of the whining on this board/ complaining from people who refuse to identify why tihngs MAKE SENSE and always want to point out why they DONT make sense.


Gosh darnit PJ......
