Next year we have more money to spend and it should be a better class.

Having 2 talented run stuffing DEs in a 3-4 helps the entire defense. We are freeing up our (mostly undersized for the 3-4 linebackers), freeing up our edge rushers (Burns, Luvu, Barno) which will in return make QBs get the ball away quicker giving the CBs less time to have to maintain coverage. These are the underrated guys we need for our defense to thrive and I think our Evero knows this.

If they draft Stroud/Young they might as well start them week 1. No bridge needed.

Wait until you see Tuttle's route tree!

He seems small for that, plus isn't he a FA?

He is a run stuffing DT. Right now our 3-4 DL is Brown, McCall, and Tuttle. That's going to free up our LBs and Edge Rushers big time. We will probably upgrade McCall when it's all said and done.

Shy Tuttle is a great name and I remember him at UT. Is he more of a DE or a DT for the 3-4?

It depends on how much money he wants. He was good at run blocking but average at best at pass blocking. He isn't worth breaking the bank over IMO.

Having Allen and Brown as our 3-4 DEs could work nicely!

I get it. If we take someone like Levis I think it would be a trade back down to acquire some more capital. I would be very skeptical of Levis at 1 after giving up all of that capital. We HAVE to hit on this pick and the highest floor is Stroud IMO.

After seeing how they assembled this staff this offseason, I have some faith restored in the franchise. Tepper made a mistake with Rhule, admitted it, and is now trying to do things the right way. I can't hate on him for that. If he truly stays out of the way (and he seems to have so far, remember he wanted Fields) and lets Reich do his job I think we will draft the right guy (Stroud).

yeah and that led us to multiple top 10 picks... He needs TDs to win and he needs a good QB to throw TDs.

You are definitely consistent and logical in your responses. Some people on here whine just to whine, but at least I understand where you are coming from.

Anyone else thinking we would better off with more of a pass catching RB than Foreman after losing Moore?

I’m not sure how amazing his pro day will be. He will look solid throwing the ball, but Young’s strength is his tape and football IQ. AR and Levis’s pro day will have people talking.

You have to eventually try for a QB. We could have 3 DJ Moores and it wouldn’t matter until we have a QB. IF our QB looks the part we will probably make a big splash for a great WR next year when we have more cap. Similar to the Bills and Diggs.

We’ve had Moore for years with nothing to show. Even the best WRs need a QB to get them the ball regularly.

If it is Stroud, that's my next jersey and for the record the only other one I have is Cam.

Agreed. If we stay at 1, I will be HIGHLY surprised if it's not Stroud/Young unless something crazy happens the next month and a half.

So some are saying it's Stroud or Young, Some are saying Stroud or AR, some are saying any of the 4. The common variable is Stroud. I'm thinking a team can trade up for our pick if they want to overpay and we would be OK with AR as plan B, but it was need to be a dumb trade. Desperation may set in after FA who knows... Stroud is plan A at 1.

It's commonsense he won't understand it....

Yeah just like we aren't drafting a QB in the first and we are getting an OG. Keep it up with your good content it's been spot on!
