Would much rather have Dorsett.

I just don't see how anyone who has watched any cut-ups can prefer Dorset over Agholor. I just don't see it, from a route running standpoint, a hands standpoint, a blocking standpoint, or even from a special teams standpoint, but you have a right to your opinion.

That'd probably bring the idiotic "Gettleman wants to sabotage Cam" silliness up again.

I wonder how many of the 'need more weapons' crowd understand that a dominant defense actually is a weapon for a young QB, and oftentimes can be their best friend. Ditto solid special teams.

Defense isn't just about preventing the other team from scoring. It's also about getting the ball back in the hands of your offense. Likewise special teams is about putting your offense in the best position possible.

Ya gotta look at the whole picture.

Are you suggesting that Cam doesn't need more offensive weapons? If so, history and a lot of people that know football say otherwise. More weapons on defense and offense are not mutually exclusive. In fact, anyone should desire both. Balance across the board is the bigger picture.

And if you look back at Gettleman's prior drafts, you'll see he's drafted pretty evenly between those two sides of the ball.

I like Agholor as well, I'm just high on Dorsett.

I have zero faith in Perriman.

This draft is about as mediocre of a draft as one can be.

Just hoping we can find a couple starters and the most athletic football gym junkies that are out there at our pick.

The good thing is yhat next year we have more wiggle room under the cap and we can lock up our strongest core for a little while and maybe even bring in a coveted FA or two if we want or need to.

Landon Collins can't cover worth a poo.....too much of a liability in the passing game for me.

 

He was much better in coverage as a sophomore. Saban asked him to put on a bunch of weight for last year and he lost some movement. He played at 230 last year which is really closer to LB size. Kam Chancellor is one of the bigger SS in the NFL and he plays at 225 and he is 3 inches taller than Collins. I think if we draft Collins and have him lose 10-15 lbs he would be much better.

I don't like when people suggest "Cam" needs more offensive weapons. The TEAM needs more offensive weapons for overall success. When people come on here whining and bitching (obviously not you, but others) about "Cam needing weapons" it makes them seem like Cam fans who want him to put up 5000 and 50 every year to become the GOAT, instead of wanting the team to win. Defense and offense are both a part of the equation and morons who suggest that drafting defense is "sabotaging Cam" are ridiculous.

      Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By strato · Posted

      I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
