Curios what you base that on, because I'd say QB is first, and I thought OL would be on the lower end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find an article I posted on here a couple years ago. Due to the rise of the spread offense in college, O-line play doesn't translate to the NFL very well. It went through several years of recent data and a very low percentage of high draft picks were still starters. I should have stated high draft picks in o lineman are one of the higher bust rates. Point being, it's simply not an easy task to draft an effective O-line. Here is a more recent article that doesn't go into great detail, but mentions that teams are starting to invest less into that position in earlier rounds. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/offensive-linemen-are-no-longer--safe-picks- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Brown Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Today against the Hawks; Cleveland has the ball in the redzone with under 2 minutes and an 8 point lead. Instead of bleeding the clock, with an opportunity to go up 11 or 15 at half, Baker hurries his team to the line and immediately throws an INT in the endzone. Seattle then closes out the first half with a long TD drive. Incredibly bad decision making. Edited October 13, 2019 by Bobby Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are all over him now, they've figured him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotooslow Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I was such a Baker believer (Bengals fan here) but even when he is good he's bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll eventually figure it out. It almost looks as if he has no coaching whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
