On to Pryor as a player. The way i see it, A 3rd next year and you get over half a season and a full offseason to develop the guy while most draft picks will still be learning the playbook? Plus, he can come in immediately in a Brad Smith role. If he has any sort of hands, he can go outside and he becomes a 6'6", 4.37 athlete.

I agree. Great Move Al. I would have preferred giving up our 1st round instead since we are terrible in the 1st round but not in the later roundsOriginally Posted by Smokey1212
My thoughts on the Pryor pick. At first I thought it was stupid merely because we now don't have a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounder next year. However, I forgot that we will get comp picks for Nnamdi, Miller, and Gallery. Which should net us a 3rd, 4th, and 5th based on their new salaries alone. So we'll have a 1st, 3rd, 4th, 2 5ths, and a 7th.

Lastly, and most importantly, it's a THIRD round pick. This isn't the first round. It's not a HUGE gamble. Pretty low risk, can be very high reward who can change defenses if he has the ball in the wild cat with his speed alone. Brad Smith was picked in the 4th round. Is Terelle Pryor a better player than Brad Smith?
