A theory about Gettlebro's Strategy for the defensive backfield

[Captain Morgan]

no doubt, a ton of shock on Boston and  Benwikere.  Pretty sure not a single huddler

predicted either would be taken even in round 7.

 

But after calming down, here's the thing...

 

1. we need long term help in the secondary at every position.

 

2.  both of the guys are ball hawks who break up passes or intercept.  They aren't perfect at their

position, but they can change the game with their skills.

 

3.  They fit our defense.  RR and Getty will keep our defensive front 7 in the top 5 year after

year.  With quick patches in the secondary last year, we were the number 2 defense.  These

2 guys allow us to spend our free agency money and future draft picks on other positions.

It's the 4th and 5th rounds...we don't have to get All Pro's.   We have to get players who

will make a difference every Sunday for the long term.  They both can do that in our scheme.

 

4.  Getting contributors in 4 and 5 keeps our secondary cheap so we can spend  money keeping

our front 7 strong over the next 5 years.

 

These picks aren't sexy, but I understand better now how we are building the team.

 

When you have the pass rush we now present, there will be a lot of balls that are poorly thrown.

 

Our new dbs are good at catching those and returning them.

Listening to Gettleman I get his about him: Physical Qualities, Football IQ, Scheme Fit. He's not going to take a name if he doesn't meet their expectations.

 

They aren't going to take a guy if they can't coach them up.

i like the picks for secondary but trading up to get that guy in the 5th is a head scratch-er.............then we did little to add to the o line

Gettleman is an expert at filling the last third of the roster with cheap FA's, so I imagine a 7th round pick doesn't have a bunch of value for him. So I can see him trading up to get a guy he think will develop into something rather than using a 7th on another camp body, which he can find easily anyway.

i disagree there were some potentially good ot in the 7th that got scoop up immediately after the draft, that worked last year we will see how this year pans out
