and if Leonard is still on the board? I just have a HUGE issue not going offense in top 10 if the playmakers are there

Don't you know that all the players will be taken by our pick? ;)

If Allen improved our pass rush, and helped to put an attitude in our defense, I'm cool with that.

This is still a very deep draft for RBs, WRs and TEs.

I wouldn't.

You do realize Allen is really good right? 2nd best player behind Garrett imho from the draft.

Another DT in the first? Sure why not. Gettleman hell just triple dip on Safteys and DLine and draft an RB in round 7 wouldn't suprise me in the fuging slightest 

     If he were a DT, this post might make sense. He's a DE that can push inside on passing downs. Something we absolutely need.

If he does, it will be the quickest selection in Gettleman history.

Naw, I think he'll take the full ten minutes and savor each sweet second knowing that he's going to get Allen at number eight.

Anyone who thinks that Fournette and a second round DE would help this team more than Allen and a second round RB needs to go watch the LSU/Alabama games again and see which player shined.

Will be interesting to see what rankings indicate post Combine.  Most team boards will change a little, but all the draft sites will change a lot as will Huddle opinions.

Allen as the measurables to be a 34 DE.  Not sure how quick he is for the outside pass rush in the 43 however.  We will see.

    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
