At the time it was a good pick. There was no guarantee that KK would be back. Without him we would've been extremely thin at the position like always before the Gettleman era. Now it looks kind of bad since we have two starters in place, but who knows. He can still develop into a very good player imo and you can never have too many big men up front with all the injuries. He looked great in camp before getting hindered with injuries himself. I'd rather go Butler again than a random wr that shula could probably never get involved/develop or have Ron bury him beneath pet players.

Yes... because with the power of hindsight... the logical thing to do would be to still pick him ahead of: 

Emmanuel Ogbah, Hunter Henry, Myles Jack, Sterling Shepard, Derrick Henry, Michael Thomas, Deion Jones, Vonn Bell etc. etc.

For those that hate Seattle and enjoy their demise, this helped.  They thought we would go elsewhere and they would land him.  As a result they traded assets for Reed, traded major assets for Richardson who isn’t there anymore, and drafted a total bum in McDowell as a result.

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Navy_football · Posted

      DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem.

      This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
