BleedinBlue Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The old rule of thumb is, "when in doubt, pick a lineman" is true because they rarely flame out. Anyone notice that teams don't seem to think to highly of running backs this year? I personally think all running backs are pretty good and are plug and play and are successful when working behind a great offensive line that opens the door for them. RB's getting yards on their own is rare in these days. Sure - if there's a jail break, they pick up big yards, but it's usually because of a good play drawn up by the coach that got the defense to bite on some fakes.

BlueInCanada Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Maybe in theory OL is safe because it includes OG and C . OT might project differently. You can be a Ryan Leaf at LT and move into the OG position and be a serviceable guy. That's the main thing about Oline you can atleast move positions and serve as a decent backup or starter. You bust as a WR or skill position that's all you really can do. At the same time, no first round pick heck any pick is a guarantee, for every Jonathan Ogden you get a Jeff Otah.

BlueInCanada Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Gallery was in the league for 8 years. Yet he probably could of went in the third round instead of the first, since he was changed from a tackle to a guard where he had a decent career.

No doubt. The point was that evn though he wasn't the perrenial Pro Bowler some thought he'd be, he still had a career in the NFL. He's no JaMarcus Russell.

Yes my point on the issue. You shouldnt be drafting back up in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The bottom line is: you pick a "skill player", there's a 50:50 chance he'll bust in the NFL. Draft a man for the trenches and there's an 80:20 (yes, I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass, but they're close) chance he'll be a bust (think William Joseph here). There are no guarantees period. Clowney could be a bust and some 6th round player might end up being a perennial pro-bowler. It's just that you really need to know what you're doing if you go with a skill pick early because they'll break your heart (Ron Dayne, I'm talking to you, you donut stuffing, tub of lard millionaire).

Tempest Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 There is really no such thing as a can't miss position. There are certain positions that are more forgiving than others for mediocrity though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
