I really dislike JPP to us - to high of a bust potential imo, and I dont think he will have an immediate impact. This year I think we need a homerun in the draft. We are on the cusp of long time contention, and a major first round bust would throw a big wrench in that.
I've already mentioned a few times, but JPP reminds me MUCH of Vernon Ghoulston.....no thanks. LaFell? I think there will be many better picks still there. Used to live and die by Scott Wright.....seems like less and less so each year.
I would be very upset with these 2 picks. Sorry Fin. LOL. He needs to switch to Scott Wrong after those 2.
I wouldn't mind them honestly. But then again, I actually am one of the few that likes JPP. I completely agree. Wright was my go-to-guy for draft info for years ... but other sites **cough** Universaldraft.com **cough** have far surpassed him.
Thanks. I have to wonder why JPP gets all this attention, yet guys like Derrick Morgan, Ricky Sapp, and Brandon Graham etc go by the wayside. I find it interesting to say the least. Everyone of those players listed has performed comparably against better competition. Sorry, but the Big East doesn't strike me as a be all end all conference. If the ACC is considered soft by some, then what the hell is the Big East?
I actually really like that scenario. I would hope Tate was there over lafell but I think Tate sneaks in to the back of round 1. I too am one of the few who likes jpp. He also is a poster child for the planet theory.
Which once again, who Ghoulston reminded people of. He might end up being great, he has great measurables, but I think he just as likely could be very much not even close to 1st round talent. Do you think were in a position to take that gamble? Ghoulston had incredible potential.
I never thought that about Gholston and I never heard anyone make that comparison about him either. He was a good athlete but I didn't see that All World potential in him. He didn't have very good hips and he tended to make plays happen only one way. I really don't see the comparison between Gholston and JPP, except perhaps in the head.
Wright was my g2g when it was one of the few free sites that I knew of. Once I found nfldraftscout it became (and still is) my favorite. It is harder to navigate now without being forced to some cbs site, but it's still very good for raw #'s (which is what I'm usually looking for).
I used to like Walterfootball a few years ago..... until I found out that Matt McGuire is a pompous windbag. The only thing Matt likes more than listening to himself talk.... is watching a video of himself listening to himself talk. Other than that, I agree it's a good reference point.
I can't think of a much worse scenario to see in the 2nd rd then the Patriots getting the 3 players Wright has them taking. Only thing worse to see would be them turning one of those 2's into a 1 again.
