Everyone from 2008? Wouldn't that be one player?Who was the last number 2 overall pick not to start game 1? Everyone from 2008 did, but can't find game by game data dating back further.
I know - you wanted Sammy "Broken Ribs" Watkins.Just a reminder of why I did not like this pick when it was made
Saffold will be hurt before the bye week. GRob will be in there soon enough.
You can bust on me all you want for being negative. Bookmark this post...I DARE YA!
Yep - I also would have been happy with Mike Evans or Jake Long if we went lineman, as I had mentioned several times...I know - you wanted Sammy "Broken Ribs" Watkins.
Lucky for you, we got both.Yep - I also would have been happy with Mike Evans or Jake Long if we went lineman, as I had mentioned several times...
There should be a Sportsbook wager on when Long and/or Saffold go down this year. (Maybe there is, I haven't checked in a long time). What's the over/under week for each? I guess we should define "hurt" as well. I'm going with having to miss reps in a game. Might even add Wells into this wager.Saffold will be hurt before the bye week.

Sammy had 3 catches for 21 yards in pre-season play. While it is only pre-season that put him at #422 in receiving yards. And - um.... we already have Jake Long.Yep - I also would have been happy with Mike Evans or Jake Long if we went lineman, as I had mentioned several times...

.I don't know who this guy is, but Aaron Donald was a heck of a pick.

Who was the last team that wasn't selecting #2 overall based upon their team's record?
I'm tired of Saffold's fragility. It's gotten to the point where you just KNOW he's going to get dinged and either leave the game and return, or leave the game and need a couple weeks, or leave the game and go on IR again.Wow guys. Not digging this AT ALL.
Every year there are rookies starting now that have no business in the starting lineup. Why? Their teams either have no other options and/or believe in just sticking a kid out there to learn on the fly.
Example: A RAW Stephen Hill had no business starting with the Jets as a rookie. Posters busted the Rams balls for Quick not starting immediately using him as an example and now look at them. Quick is starting for the Rams and Hill is out of a job and has already cleared waivers.
it's a different animal when you're discussing Top 5 picks, especially if they're not a QB...
Yeah, this isn't very good news. All summer to learn audibles and who to block, etc? #2 pick overall (that's not a QB) and can't start the season? Dang man, he better turn out to be the mauler that we know he is ... and soon. We were COUNTING on him for our run first offense.
In no way do I think this is a bad thing. It's just a little disappointing, but DJ is playing better right now. Greg will come around a be a great player for a long time.
