Schoonmaker BTW. Great post, I am expecting us to take Forbes at 28 Thursday night but I did a Mock yesterday with us starting
out with Darnell Washington and Tyjae Spears and it might be my favorite scenario as long as Carman steps up at RT and we extend
DJ Reader and bring back Apple and Flowers at Corner.
If we aren't thinking about bringing back DJ, we should draft a DT that can stop the run somewhat early.
Yeah, Roschon would be a great fit with our Offense. He is a much faster, more explosive Perine. Spears hasn't been falling to the 3rd
round in many of the Mocks I have been seeing lately, let alone late in the 3rd, but Roschon could be there and I would take him in a
heartbeat.
A lot of people disagree with us on this - including Lap. He's all about TE just not being a premium position. But I love that scenario. I see it as adding elite blocking with a guy who does really well with contested catches - and is just tough to stop when you want to pick up a first down or a touchdown. And I think he'll improve as a pro - improving his route running. The only concern I have is that he has not had the intensity of a Kelsey or Kittle.
I see Lap's point - that we tend to go 11 personnel for the most part. But that does not mean we have to. To me adding those two players adds to our offense, makes us less predictable, opens up the running game and helps us to run the clock out at the end of games. Add Luepke to the mix and we can go hurry up and be both grinding and explosive with the same personnel - all the way to the end zone.
I don't just want to fill holes in the roster or get the BPA. And I don't think we'd be settling for low impact players. I think Spears is going to be really really good. And I think Washington's floor is enough to open our offense up to an intriguing degree - even if he does not achieve a high ceiling.
We just need to make sure he's not an asshole or take plays off
