No. Taking Smith is the no-brainer regardless of the position. If they manage to muck up the season (as I am convinced they are going to do) and wind up with the first pick, They cannot pass on generational talent like that. If they do, move the fucking team out of Tampa.Why rule out trade backs? The Bucs aren't going to draft a QB, and another team will trade up for that spot for one. If you have the first pick and there are legit QBs in the draft and you aren't taking one trading back is a no-brainer. Â...which direction are you going?
For the sake of discussion, let's rule out trade backs (as I'm sure some, including myself, would be on board for).Â
You're stuck with the pick.Â
Obviously, a lot of college ball left to be played, but I'm taking J. Smith and not thinking twice.Â
Give the new offensive-minded HC an alpha weapon.Â
I am betting the answer to your last question is no. You can't draft him because his name is Manning and thinking you are getting Peyton or Eli (or Archie for that matter).How'd Calvin Johnson work out with the Lions? They win alot there?
Excellent logic!
Give me Arch Manning if we are picking 1.
Have you actually watched him play?
Seriously.
I am telling anyone that will listen, stay away from Arch Manning. Remember that Keaton movie Multiplicity? The clone of a clone is always retarded. That's Arch Manning.
He's simply not good. He has some of the physical tools but he will struggle to process.
Jeremiah Smith is by far the best prospect in this draft and he's probably the best prospect from the last 10 years.
All the of QBs are solid but none are generational talent like Smith.
Imo the top 5-6 QBs are about even.
I am a huge fan of BPA this next draft and if by some miracle we have first pick (no way that happens with self serving coach and GM winning meaningless games late) and we get Smith first overall... We'd be the best wr core in the league within 2-3 years.
Smith>Egbuka>Hurst>Tez
Then round 2 you hope a QB falls from that top 5 group and if not... Just rebuild the interior line.
Gents we are 14 losses away from getting Smith. Fingers crossedÂ
