    I was going to say the same thing. Every "good" pick is the coach's, every "bad" pick is the GM's.

    We're going to bring in AJ in for a meeting and tell him we'd sign him only if he converted to a tight end. 3 birds with one stone. He gets to play another year, we have an able receiver at te and he gets to retire a Texan.

    Was funny last year we couldn't wait for the offense to get off the field.

    Will be the exact opposite this year. Still needing Safety and DL but man what a good looking draft so far.

    Y'all are dumb.

    Kubiak got the credit then got fired.

    BOB will be the same

    Rick is the guy with the people skills!

    We're talking about fans, not the actual organization. They obviously know who is really making the pick.

    Yeah true, the fans blame Rick for roster decisions the coaches make

    It will be really interesting to see all the different packages they'll utilize Braxton Miller in. It seemed like last year when we lost Hoyer/Mallett BOB used more wildcat and trick plays due to Yates and Weeden not knowing the playbook.

    I can see several sets with Miller in the wildcat, throwing one or two passes a game, a few runs, and lining up in the slot part time. He'll add an interesting dimension to the offense this year. Should be fun to watch.

    Are they going to try and play him tight end? Will Fuller is a pure wide receiver we all know he will play wide receiver from the start. I think they are going to try Braxton Miller and Jaelen Strong play tight end.

    All it would take is one chip from a DL or LB, and they would get thrown off their route.

    Think we'll see Miller in the slot most of the time. Put him in motion and let him use his quickness to work underneath routes.

    There is absolutely no way this will ever happen.

    I don't like the pick because he's a wildcard and WR is the easiest position to fill in FA. I'm not crying over it though.

    I'm very excited to see Fuller stretch the defense, giving Braxton space to work with underneath. If Brock is any good, this team should be top 10 in offense, if not better.

    This team has been bottom half of the league in offense since BOB got here. I don't know why you are expecting a top 10 offense. This will win or lose based on the D.

    This team had very few offensive weapons (especially with Foster always injured) and total garbage at the QB position the whole time BOB was here. Now they have tons of offensive playmakers and the best QB this team has had since Shaub in his prime.

    To be fair, this offense hasn't had this many potential weapons.

    It's not a guarantee these picks will make an major impact year one, but it could be an
    exciting offense.

    The QB situation was on the same BOB. It's just incredible how Smith gets the blame for all failures and BOB the credit for all success. I don't like playing the race card but it is suspicious.
