A 15th overall pick is the breaking point in your faith in the guy who's coached/built the team that won 6 Super Bowls?
Look, Jones might be a bust and Fields might be a stud. It could very well happen. But that *this* is your breaking point is odd. It's not like BB had the #1 overall and took Jones there.
This is disingenuous. You know that this isnt the only reason that the, "in BB we trust" faith is wobbling. At least in regards to the draft.
His success in the draft as of late has been questionable. This pick is huge for the franchise. Of course nobody knows the future, but you dont have to dig very deep on this forum to see even the majority of us laymen folk thought Fields was a superior option.
This isnt the first time BB has bucked standard thinking in the first few rounds.
2019 - DK Metcalf was almost universally ranked as a top 3 WR. We got N'keal Harry in the first instead.
2018 - Drafted Nick Chubbs backup.
2017 - Derek Rivers was our top pick. Know who went within 15 picks after him? Chris Godwin. Kenny Golladay. Shaquill Griffin. Kareem Hunt. John Johnson. Jonnu Smith.
We dont even need to dig into some of the crazy "Ras-I Dowling" type reaches.
I understand that the draft isnt perfect. And I've been willing to shrug it off. But, yes, when you can take a QB that is universally considered a better prospect by large portions of really smart people? And you take someone almost EVERYONE is down on? After the Patriots recent drafting history?
Yes. Make or break time.
