2016 NFL DRAFT ROUND 4 GENERAL DISCUSSION

[Toker Smurf]

Hope we go oline in the 7th.

I suspect G-Man feels like he can address other needs in UDFA, after the draft is over. He's been pretty good at finding the right cogs to plug into the machine in past seasons that way.

Yup, sure do.  And Bene is coming back from a nasty broken leg.... so, yeah.  I was cool with 2 CBs, but 3 seems a bit much.  Remember we picked up Boykin in FA

which leaves us with two 4' tall starting corners

Lou Young going wtf

So, we ignore offensive line depth and running back depth (a place where a good portion of our injuries occur). We add 3 cornerbacks to the roster. Bradberry looking like a huge reach. Worley was a good pick. Then we add Sanchez who apparently got burnt quite a bit in college. We added a DT (not hating it after time). Tell me again what killed us in the SB? Stewart going down and our offensive line having no answer for Miller at all. I usually am 100 percent behind Gettleman and I still trust him but this draft is a huge gamble. If it does not pay off it may actually set us back some. Here's to hoping offensive line and our running back stay healthy. Also, hoping our tight end stays healthy.

as many have suggested, it's very likely we see one of these guys move to safety. DBs may very well be a strength by the end of the year.

[LinvilleGorge]

At this point, Gettleman should just go full troll.  Take another CB in the 7th.

Sanchez only got burnt when he had to flip his hips and run with the bigger, faster receivers. That won't happen here. Rivera wants the CBs to face the ball and attack 80% of the time. And when you have ball skills like Sanchez has, he is a great fit for a zone scheme.

Again let us hope you are right. Also, ignoring offensive depth could easily turn into a big mistake. We could of signed cornerbacks left in free agency not much talented depth left at O-Line, RB, or TE. We even tried to sign a TE knowing it was a need to have a better back up.

I don't think I can look at it as ignoring other positions so much as finding value and fits too good to pass up. Gettleman wouldn't draft 3 corners in a row out of panic. One? Sure. But not 3. He saw value and potential for the defense we run.

Anyone who question GM is an idiot lol I agree I would have liked a pick for backup OL or TE. Also Oher contract is up we might have to look for another LT soon.

We can agree to disagree. Depth on the offensive side is a huge need at multiple positions.

[XClown1986]

And really out of all the corners we have drafted so far, Sanchez has the most traits similar to Norman. Lean, aggressive, interception magnet, but not enough traits to hold down man coverage on a regular basis.

We have ignored areas outside of DB that we could have improved in. Let's see if Gettleman is genius folks here think he is. This did not help in a lot of areas.
