Ok, so the run D wasn't anything to write home about last year due to sub par DT (esp NT) rotation, so now what?

No Kemo to occupy blockers means no Beason to make plays. Run D suffers greatly. So do we....

1. Go full on Indy and get penetration with the DT's and choke the line with Harris? (and do we have near the offense for this crap shoot?)

2. By miracle find another space eater (or two hahahahaha) and let Beason do his bidding?

What do you see happening?

kemo really wasn't that good and the drop off isn't going to be that bad from what it was going to be anyway, which was middling at best

they should just go all out blitz happy and hope the offense doesn't miss a beat from last year.

I still think that Beason is going to make plenty of plays. Kemo wasnt anything but big and fat....he didnt make any plays at all. I, for one am of the school of thought that the whole huge DTs are necessary in order for you MLB to make plays, is false. Beason is a beast, and its not like we are going to be going out there with 10 guys now. Someone will occupy that space....and its not like Kemo was out there making All Pro teams.

we need situational run guys, but that should allow us to continue to go even-front one gap and stop the run somewhat well. We don't have to have a NT/UT combo of DTs to stop the run, and plenty of one gap teams do just fine without it. At that, I don't think Beason will struggle that much coming off blocks either.

i know this is a long shot to happen. but im trying to stay very optimistic about kemo getting hurt. I'm hoping with the extra playing time there gonna get, one of our young DTs can develop into a quality starter. you ll never really know when one of your low round draft picks or UDFA can turn into a diamond in the rough until they get on the field, and im hoping with one of these guys we've found one.

Then you would be wrong even the great Ray Lewis complain when he didn't have a big Space eater in front of him (when the ravens lost gregg and saraguso retired before kemo and now naga got their). We need to hope that a space eater falls in our laps some how. Or alot of teams will have Giant type games against us (if you know what I mean). I'm sorry but we don't have Peyton Manning we are not built too always out score teams.

see this didn't happen and i vividly remember ray lewis being glad he was gone and other people saying the same thing but for some bizarre reason I can't find any articles either way about it

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
