Pace hoping former 1st round picks florish

[flabear]

The team signed 6 former 1st round picks....Ted Ginn Jr., Jimmy Graham, Germain Ifedi, Robert Quinn, Barkevious Mingo, and
Artie Burns.. thoughts on any of these former 1st round picks you think can help the team with a change of scenery?

The problem with using the Patriots strategy of taking in first round busts and then flipping them for comp picks is we are not the patriots lol

Often removing the fail and finding a niche is what turns guys like these around. The 2nd part will be key and what Belichick excels at. He doesn't ask players to do things they aren't good at and fits in what they are good at. You know, coaching.

I think Ginn, Quinn, Graham, Ifedi and with no preseason perhaps Burns starts with Mingo as the backup OLB. If so that would be awesome

Sadly we aren't the Patriots on the other hand it might help move us to the playoffs I really like Quinn, Graham and Ginn to be starters, Quinn looks like a beast and who knows what Graham or Ginn has left in the tank, should be an interesting season

Would seem to me that Ginn is more of the guy to keep around the locker room to keep guys working hard. Graham I have zero idea about, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I personally feel, with absolutely nothing to back it up with, that people are down on Ifedi. I think he'll be solid. Mingo is great depth, and obviously Quinn is the real prize here. I don't think Burns makes the roster.

I'm not sure about Burns either but with no preseaon he does have experiance for whatever that's worth, I think the rookies are way behind where they would have been with their lack of practice

That's a fair point. Either way, I'm guessing you agree that Johnson will be your CB2 relatively soon.

 

[TheWinman]

If three out of 6 make significant contributions I will be happy

Oh hell yes, just not sure how much the lack of practice will hinder the rookies and when they will be ready, soon I can hope

Exactly. Up to this point Nagy hasn’t given me much confidence he can do that. So, in my opinion, what we have here is a coach asking busts to do stuff that they are not necessarily good at and could include stuff they’re actually bad at. Not a great recipe for success.

 

[Bearly]

He also needs an OC etc capable of executing these ideas. Lets hope that was the biggest issue. Never liked that hire.

Well many of his own first round picks aren't helping so I guess he might as look at others.

Fuq does it mean to florish?

Does Nagy feel any of these guys can run between the tackles?

This is painful to read on a few levels

And to think Lovie is probably the best coach this franchise has ever had other than Halas
