So do you think this Nelson Mandela is an upgrade over Maclin?

[TRENT]

Maclin had how many seasons over 1000 yards?

1 right?

yes the kid can develope fill out, and Break out in Kelly's system.....He's got deceptive speed, and from what My Nephew told me; he doesn't mind contact over the middle and is willing to do the dirty work....Sounds Like a Chip guy

NELSON MANDELA

WOW - now that may be the best nickname of all time!!! Well done Two Gap! As for the player, I like the pick

What's the difference in guaranteed money? Then you have to factor in production.

Maclin, 5 yrs remaining, $22.5M guaranteed, $11M per year remaining

Jackson, 3 yrs remaining, 11.5M in dead money if cut, $6.9M per year remaining


Matthews, 3 yrs remaining, $1.9M in dead money if cut, $1.35M per year remaining

Algohor (approx. based on Cooks 2014 contract ), 4 yrs remaining, $8M guaranteed, $2.5M per year remaining



Maclin/Jackson: $34M in dead (guaranteed) money, $18M/yr average

Matthews/Algohor: $10M in dead (guaranteed) money, $3.9M/yr average

Thanks.

So from 66M difference to 24M. Big difference. All depends on production now.

Yes, I would have let Maclin go - but I don't see the percentages in using a first round pick to replace him. Should have gone defense first.

WR is just as much of a need as any defensive position going into the draft. If they stuck to their board which I assume they did, I don't have a problem with this pick.

I think OL, DB and WR were all needs that could have been a legitimate 1st round pick. Hopefully they fill out the other two with their 2nd and 3rd picks.

They made it a need. If you're willing to use a first round pick, makes more sense to stick with the proven player.

I agree with letting Maclin walk but not a first round WR.

DJax still...

I've seen reports saying he struggles at times getting off of press coverage.

gets shut down with a good press cb...Chip will, like he did with DJ, move the kid around to help him avoid it.
