I never said that I only watched a few games. I've actually already watched 5+ games of Barnett and all of Taco's games. I don't know where you guys are coming up with this.

I never said you watched X amount.

My post was strictly to the point that watching every snap of a game is not watching tape on a guy.

I didn't say you watched more or less.

You said:

Is watching him play every down of a game not "watching tape"?

I responded that watching a player every down of one(a) game is not watching tape. That's casual viewing.

If you aren't watching at least half a season you aren't really watching tape. You can't know a player from 1 game. Not from 3 games. Hell 6 games is barely enough to form a good opinion.

But I NEVER said you watched X amount. I was just responding to that post.

No worries. All good.

And like I said I'm not against taking Taco. I like what I see (minus not being consistent to this point; he doesn't have that go hard every play like Barnett) and really like his potential.

I just think it would be a mistake to take someone at 11 that is more potential than proven. I don't want a Dion Jordan. I don't think he'll be that bad but the potential is just as much there for him to be Jordan as it is for him to be C Jones.

In Barnett you have a guy that you "know" will be good and is plug and play. Once he learns more pass rush moves he could become sneaky good.

And of course I forgot to mention a big factor all this time: age.

Barnett turns 21 in June, and Charlton turns 23 in November. That's two extra prime years and Barnett has longer to develop depsite Charlton being the one who needs more time for that.

Super anchor. One of the best I've seen. And he can drive guys back with his strength at times. Lacks rush moves. Takes plays off (but still anchors). Very often does not hustle if the play isn't near him.

But if you can keep him motivated and teach him some more moves he could be great.

Too much risk at 11 for sure. I'd definitely consider him at 32. He's more of an interior player but can play big end. I would not put him at rush end, which is what we REALLY need.

Edit:
And when I say super anchor I mean that fricker does not move even an inch back even when taking doubles. His anchor is fricking insane.

He's also very good at splitting doubles. You could easily play him at nose and strongside end. He'd be good at 3 tech also but I'd rather see him at nose.

Being honest both Fairley and Rankins are really 3 tech and we lack that true anchoring nose. He'd be a great fit there.

Edit2:
I'll add that while he can anchor and not get pushed back, he does struggle with footwork and can be pushed sideways out of plays very easily.

It's something that can be corrected though.

Bro bro bro

PUT down ur crack PIPE. We're not taking a run stuffing nose tackle in round 1

You either draft your franchises QB or somebody that scores or prevents TDs. Davison is already on the roster



DRIVEMAN OUT

Bro bro bro

He isn't just a run stuffer. Dude can get to the QB and can move across multiple spots on the line. We can kick him out to rush end in big sets. He can spell Cam. He can play 3 tech. He can anchor your defense and potentially be dominant from the nose like Wilfork (would you not take Wilfork in the first).

He has tons of talent. Just because I said he can anchor the nose does not mean he is strictly a run stuffing nose.

Get the frick over yourself.

BONEMAN OUT

I probably wouldn't take taco with the 32 pick, 42? MAYBE

Tre white may not make it to 25 dude. Y'all sleeping on him

You are a muthafrickin liar. If you would have actually gone through several games from just this past year alone, you would have saw that when Tennessee needed a play of defense, it was Barnett making a play. He did it all whether it was a tackle for loss against a back, a sack or sack fumble or just applying pressure to force a bad throw. When the game was on the line, Barnett rose to the occasion.

You are also severely underrating Barnett's lockeroom presence. He is a leader of men just like Brees is & that intangible is invaluable & cannot be measured by "watching tape." Give me the consistent guy who will get 10+ sacks a season, be stout against the run, be a team leader & who steps up most when the game is on the line, over an inconsistent one hit wonder. I would take Barnett over Taco every day of the week & twice on Sundays.

Also, a player only gets this type of reaction from teammates when he is highly respected & from the fans because they recognize his greatest on & off the field of play.

Respect

How can I underrate it if I never rated it?


Your whole post is filled with nothing but crap. As if Taco isn't a guy his team loves and respects. As if there aren't tons of other guys who made plays like Barnett. You posted all that shite and made not one point that would sway someone towards Barnett over Charlton.
