I rather see what Boston is about

Me to.  First, Lester isn't going to be signed to take over at nickel, because he's not a CB.  Second, He has enough problems playing safety.  If you bring him in, you just have a less knowledgeable Harper.  They're basically of the same mold.  People harp on Boston's Senior year being bad, but forget he was injured the whole season with that hernia.  He opted not to have surgery so he wouldn't completely fall out of the draft, and had it taken care of later.  I think Boston's going to be pretty good.

If he's comfortable in the defense, I wouldn't mind it.  At least he has the speed to potentially recover.  Harper is taking a lot bad reads and bad angles out there and he's so slow that one misstep takes him completely out of the play.  Lester is younger, but I'm not sure he's any faster.

 

I mean, what's the worst that could happen?  We've given up 30+ in four straight games.  What we're doing right now obviously isn't working.

 

Really hoping Bene gets back soon.  Godfrey at nickel is absolutely painful.  Dalton simply looked for whoever he was attempting to cover on 3rd down in the 1st half and was making a living off of abusing Godfrey, which honestly wasn't too difficult.

I don't understand bringing in Dockery and not using him. Godfrey was God awful but still played the entire game. There are some serviceable FA that could play nickel for us. At least bring in some speed. Godfrey is slow as dirt now. He doesn't look confident on that Achilles.

Yeah, I really didn't understand why we stuck with Godfrey.  He was getting absolutely abused out there.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
