Official Vince Biegel 2017 Fourth Round Choice

[bobblehead]

Don't forget Ted also tends to like the soft, frail types.

And for the record. Your pick at 4.1 was?

[Bretsky]

Thats good, but TT only had one pick so thats all you get. Perine then since you listed him first?

Perine seemed to be the guy everybody wanted there; I hope TT was right and Beigel kills it

[bobblehead]

I get that, but I bet one of our rookie RB's outperforms Perine. I just don't like that style of a back.

no way. he'll be their starting rb i bet. one of our rookies (williams) won't get that many carries.

I agree on both counts. Perine may or may not be a bust. I'm not gonna label him that way, but I'd be very surprised if he is star quality.

It's ok to admit you were wrong; I hope you are again

Assuming you watched and broke down Borland's play in his first year....you've made my point for me

Borland was a limited player... for what they asked him to do, he did it well; but again, he was in the middle of the most talented defense in the NFL at the time, and I can assure you no one was game planning to account for him.

He was a 2nd round pick I think, and there's no way I would take him there then, or now.

I think we have differing views of what to expect from draft picks... I'm looking to hit home runs, you (and Ted) seem fine with blooping singles.

[wist43]

The thing with Biegel is that it seems like he should make a play, or at least get in on the play, but he doesn't get off the block when it looks like he should be able to; or, he doesn't close the gap, or he doesn't get to the boundary, etc...

It's kind of frustrating to watch him b/c he looks like he should make a given play, but more often than not, doesn't.

[Bretsky]

You also hated JJ Watt, right ?

[Fritz]

Well, Bretsky, this is one of the few times I'm with Wist.Biegel looks to me like a try-hard guy who's always just a fraction late to make a play.

He's already hit his ceiling, I think. He'll knock around as a backup for a few years, then go off into coaching some small-town Wisconsin Division III college team.

[texaspackerbacker]

He looked a lot better than that before his injuries. Hopefully he will get healthy and get back to when he was better than T.J. Watt.

Most thought Biegel was a better LB than Watt with less upside before the injury. He was a different player after.


I'm a Cardinal and White Homer, but I think Biegel will be a solid player for GB

But for what it's worth, I'd still have grabbed TJ Watt

[wist43]

You also hated JJ Watt, right ?

JJ or TJ??

Don't remember having much of an opinion on JJ as we had no realistic chance of drafting him...

As for TJ, no I didn't want him either.
