No team has All-Pros at every position.

We definitely need a starting safety. Coleman is a serviceable safety, he just can't be the best DB on the field. That's a recipe for disaster.

OLB? Why? Are we assuming TD retire? Maybe he does, but if he doesn't we definitely don't need another OLB. We play nickel the vast majority of the time anyway and a rookie LB is probably not getting ahead of Shaq on the depth chart. That would really have people howling about a wasted draft pick.

We definitely need a starting caliber DE. Preferably a guy who can be or can develop into an elite pass rusher. Try to sign CJ to another cheap short term deal and have him and Ealy platoon at LDE and sign or draft a hell raising RDE.

OT? Abso-fuging-lutely. Gotta get a LT. Unfortunately, I think Oher might be done. I'm alright with Williams at RT and Remmers as a backup if we can get a good LT in here.

We definitely need to start considering life without Kalil. He'll be 32 next year and his body seems to be wearing down. Hopefully he has another 2-3 good years left in him, but we shouldn't count on in. If there's a mid-late round developmental guy who we think could develop into his replacement, pull the trigger.

Yeah, we need a #2 TE. Dickson is fuging trash. This offense would be in a world of hurt if anything happened to Olsen.

Agree on RB too. Stew is wearing down and has always been injury prone. Last year was his swan song. It was great to see him come back and have a great year, but it was fool's gold. I think CAP can be a decent #2 and I like Fozzy as a 3rd down back, but we need a new bell cow.

I like Adams quite a bit at safety too, but not sure if I like him top 10 good.

If we're sitting on the clock in the 1st round (top 10 for damn sure, maybe top 5) and Garrett, Peppers, and Fournette are gone, I'd be all for trying to trade down.

Those are my three guys right now. Garrett, Peppers, Fournette. In that order.

With Kalil, Olsen, Stewart and Davis getting up there in age... We need...

SS, FS, OLB, 2x DE, OT (possibly 2), C, TE, RB... Buck up for the long haul guys. 

Kalil and Olsen have at least a couple more years for sure, and possibly more who knows. TD seems to as well but if not we've got Shaq. Stew will be replaced by Fournette next year. Boom baby. All set on those fronts. Do need a TE2 though.

Honestly, Fournette is the pick I'm expecting as well. I think Garrett and Peppers will likely be gone. My Tar Heel QB Trubisky will probably go #1. I'm just hoping some teams might fall in love with guys who I either don't want (Cam Robinson) or guys who don't fit our needs (Jonathan Allen, Marlon Humphrey, Malik McDowell, etc.) to push guys down the board.

Garrett, Peppers, Fournette, Trade Down

That's my 1st round draft board at the moment - assuming the same coaching staff/philosophy. Now if we're gonna go with a man cover scheme then Marlon Humphrey enters the equation, I just don't see spending a top 10 pick on a CB with our current defensive scheme.

All of these issues can be solved with the draft and FA, DG better not fug it up

Like New England you mean...actually planning to replace an older valuable veteran, draft their replacement, and then move the veteran while they still have value for more draft picks  and after the backup,has gotten experience 

what a concept.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
