Disagree. Look at the impact Gurley and Fournette had for their teams. I think it depends on what you are trying to do offensively. Pete wants to run the ball.dnc said:It's not that Penny is a bad RB, he's actually my top back after Barkley in the draft. He's damn good, for a RB.
It's that drafting a RB in the first round just demonstrates they still have no clue how they dug this hole and no clue how to get out of it. RB isn't completely worthless but it's easily the least valuable position, especially if the RB in question doesn't excel as a receiver.
They got better with Penny but only marginally so. Much bigger impact could have been made at damn near every other non QB position.
I'd still rather have Landry though. -
Fournette had no impact. They rana the ball no better with Fournette than they ran it without him. The rest of the team got better, their surgance had shit to do with Fournette.backthepack said:

It took three years before the Rams did shit with Gurley, and it was McVay who made the impact, not Gurley.
And I like Penny but he's not Todd Gurley. He might be as good as Fournette, who isn't special. -
Gurley had a whopping 3.2 YPC in his second year when -GASP!- they had no O-line. Then he was amazing last year after they kicked that worthless scrub Greg Robinson to the curb, and signed Whitworth and Sullivan.backthepack said:

So yeah, Gurley is amazing, but he still couldn't do shit when his left tackle was tripping over his own dick every single play. Goes to show you what competent blocking can do for a rushing offense. -
College kids, always wanting to put it in the butt.backthepack said:Penny's really fucking good. Butt fuck they needed an edge, a G (understand this one becuz Wil Hernadez is meh), or a DT ( no one there).
I would have gone Harold Landry personally but I understand the pick.
Amirite? -

WOOD!
Gerald McCoy and Vita Vea together shall make many an orgasm in Tampa.
Also, good on Henry Roberts for not just giving up football right then and there. -
Pettis to San Francisco. Great landing spot for him with Kyle Shanahan. That's gonna help him produce on offense and not just special teams.
-
Pettis at #44. Impressed. Peterson's transition class keeps kicking ass.
-
Pettit was really undrrrated by draft analysts but not by the actual draft. Really happy for him. And @CFetters_Nacho_Lover

he must have had a good private workout, caz we all know he is solid fucking player and great productions even with terrible qbdnc said:Pettit was really undrrrated by draft analysts but not by the actual draft. Really happy for him. And @CFetters_Nacho_Lover

Hawks get Rasheem Green with second pick (third round). Much better selection.

Pettis’ Skills wont transfer to the NFL. You heard it here first. Not strong enough and not a good enough route runner. He did most of his damage against PAC 12 special Olympic secondaries on post routes. He had a ton of room to operate due to the Safeties having to respect Gaskin and Coleman. He won’t have any of those luxuries in SF.
He had 1 catch in the Fiesta Bowl. -
The draft is the fucking worst. Not because of the actual draft itself, but all the stupid fucking armchair retards who go cut from the 8th grade team come out in full force. "His lateral movement makes him a 5 tech but his burst and inside swim can make him a 3 tech or slide him outside and then he becomes tech 9"
God shut the fuck up. One Hugh Millen is bad enough we don't need everyone who doesn't have a clue about football turning into one. -
You do realize he was playing on a bad wheel in the bowl game and had a retard throwing to him, right?salemcoog said:Pettis’ Skills wont transfer to the NFL. You heard it here first.

feel free to watch some highlight tapes and you'll see that the reason he has room to operate is because he can draw the defender the wrong direction and off balance with his route running and then he's open.salemcoog said:Pettis’ Skills wont transfer to the NFL.

You're not making any sense -

I take back everything negative I said yesterday. Seahawks are the best franchise on the planet.CuntWaffle said:#OurDissly! Welcome to 12 Nation!!1!

The Dissly pick is great for them. Love the pick. If they take Shaq Griffin I will be so happy.

You don't make a pick based on a stupid feel-good story. Shaquem Griffin sucks. Drafting him is like handing a scholarship to Myles Bryant. Who would do something like that?jhfstyle24 said:The Dissly pick is great for them. Love the pick. If they take Shaq Griffin I will be so happy.

Griffin ran a 4.38 with 20 reps at 6'0, 227. Plus he dominated at UCF. Huh?NorwegianHusky said:

I’m in between. Pettis is kind of soft, but he is going to a well coached offense with a good (maybe great) QB.salemcoog said:Pettis’ Skills wont transfer to the NFL. You heard it here first.

He was a 6' 225 lbs edge rusher. He either has to learn a completely new position or just be a special teams guy. Also, I don't know if you've heard this, but he's missing a hand. Not quite as important, but still not a huge plus.jhfstyle24 said:

He’s a football player. The Hawks have a million 5th round picks. If he makes it to them they should take him.
