Worst case scenario

Regarding Foster's instincts, I've watched the play that starts around 2:03 mark in that video and it never makes sense to me. I know that's different than diagnosing but there are a billion examples of his diagnosing ability in there already. His instincts will betray him at times and he will miss plays. He will also slaughter RBs and QBs with regularity.

 

JR has already said that while he wants team first guys, he also knows that you need straight up skill players who can ball out. JR has already done a good job building the locker room and expectations that they can bring in a guy who may need some help in this area, because the support system has already been built, and the culture. Doing that over the past year allows JR to bring in someone like this and have them be successful.

The idea of Lattimore at 5 and Foster at 18, if he slides that far, would be unreal!

 

I just don't think foster falls to the 18th pick to be honest.

 

We are going to just have to be flexible with that pick.

Assuming no trade down, I would take lattimore at five.

Then at 18, I have the following cluster of players.

Foster
Ross
Davis
Williams
Howard
McCaffery
Hooker
Njoku

Many of these names will be gone. Several of them won't. Most of them fill a need on this team. Just gotta hope it shakes out your way.

I figure we are gonna see two rb, at least two maybe three, and two OT picks in the top 18. Some guys will fall.

 

We need a leader in the middle of the field. I wouldn't take the risk of losing out on foster personally..

At CB we just signed logan, drafted sims last year which I think will take a step forward this year, and still got mccourty.

If mccourty wasn't in our plans I think they would have cut him cause it wouldn't have costed anything and actually saved money

 

Colin McCarthy. Probably not the last, but....

People get shelved for the season because of shoulder injuries pretty much every week.... Eric Decker, Rashad Jones, Ryan Clady, Allen Bailey, Honey Badger, Braxton Miller, etc, etc, etc.

...but what would worry me these days is concussions.

 

All those guys are soft, except Mathieu. But those aren't career Enders like a knee could be. But good research.

I worry about concussions too, from skill players. OL/DL/LBs are too dumb to care anyway. You think Reuben Foster is gonna contemplate his future because of concussions? Lmao. He doesn't even know what the word contemplate means.

But seriously, that dude was brought on this earth to do one thing and one thing only, play ILB in the NFL Goddammit.

 

Foster is the opposite of a leader.

Leaders don't have their former coach claim that they need positive influences and support groups to transition into the NFL.
