What now?

What should we hit in the draft early and what hole should we patch with a jag.

With no legit FAs left that can come in and make an impact. Which hole is more important to fix?

 

 

TE:  with the misses on Ebron and Wilson.  There is still a big hole at TE.  Olsen is still one of the best in the game.  He had a injury last year, if something were to happen again.  We have no one behind him.  In 2 TE sets, we cant go on with Manhurtz. 

Options: Hayden Hurst-rds 2-3, Dalton Schultz- rd 4-5 guys

 

RB: CMC looks to be our future back.  We just need someone to compliment him, a big back.  Cap hasnt looked That bad when given opportunities.  With a stacked RB class, do we grab one early, or later with thw depth of this class.

Options: Chubb- rd 2-3, Bo Scarborough- rd 4-6

 

DE: yes we cant forget Hall, but he hasn't played a snap in a regular season yet.  CJ is gone, Pep plays limited snaps and probably gone after this season.  Horton is good rotational player, but may need to look for a young talent.

Options: Josh Sweat- rd 2-3, Duke Ejiofor- rd 3-5

 

Interior OL- you cant say it isnt a hole when yiu just lose a all-pro, and your starting center (who's announced retiring after the season) has missed 50% of the games due to injuries the last 2 seasons. Do we go OG or find someone who can do both, that can start at LG this year and slide ready at Center next year

Options: Hernandez- rd 1, Wynn- rd 1, Price- rd 2-3, Ragnow- rd 2-3

 

WR- picked up 2 this offseason.  Both small, light, fast guys who are known as slot guys in this league.  You generally like a good ballance of WRs with size and speed.  Right now Funchess is the only one on the roster that fits the size, as the only WR over 6'0 and has build to be physical WR

Options: St Brown- rd 2-4, Washington (6'0 but has bulk build) rd 2

 

CB- Bradberry is a #2, point blank.  In a secondary that got pierced last year and couldnt create turnovers (took all the way until the very end of the season to get a int).  We lose Worley which means we get the guy who beat him out to start, or a guy regaining (which sadly other than Breeland isnt really better than Worley).  We leave this empty, we will need to pressure hard, or this defense is going to take a Massive step back.  Especially playing in a division with Bree's, Ryan, Winston at QB and Julio, Evans, Thomas at WR in our division 

Options: Josh Jackson- rd 1, Tony Brown- rd 3-5, Meeks- rd 3-5

 

Safety- who do we have here again?  Adams is about where Roman Harper was here in 2015.  We have no center fielder.  And with TD unable to cover anymore, and Shaq not living up to covering skills.  We need Help, major help. 

Options: Reid- rd 1-2, Ronnie Harrison- rd 1-2,  Kyzir White- rd 3

 

 

 

So whats the biggest needs in order do we need to look at in the draft

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
