Lets just say that we didnt trade up in this senario. In a somewhat surprising move, the Ravens pick up Courtland Sutton instead of Ridley . Most of the picks in front of us are crazy trade ups for  QBs, Darnold, Rosen , Allen, Mayfield , Jackson , and Rudolph all go before us , and other teams picking up the prime defensive talent pushes alot of top offensive prospects down to us. 

So imagine we are sitting at 24 with say almost all the WRS ( Ridley, Moore, Kirk ) , all the RBs not named Barkley , and no TEs have been drafted.  Would you be okay with drafting one of those 3 , a RB, or a TE?  

I think Id be perfect. Use our first pick for offense and go defense for most of the rest of the draft . For example , players available in the most recent sim I did : 

Offense : 

  • DJ Moore , Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, 
  • Darrius Guice, Ronald Jones, Sony Michel
  • Gesicki, Andrews, Goedert, Hurst
  • Connor William, Billy Price, Will Hernandez

Defense: 

  • Marcus Davenport, Josh Sweat , Sam Hubbard
  • Josh Jackson , Carlton Davis, Mike Huges
  • Ronnie Harrison, Jessie Bates , Marcus Allen

I think in a situation like this, the offensive talent is tipping the scales massively. I dont see any defensive players worthy of R1 besides maybe Davenport, and I'm leery of the DEs in this draft not named Bradley Chubb. I'd select Ridley here. 

In this senario I would take Ridley. What would you do? Would you feel comfortable with offense pick in general? Or would you reach for defense b/c our secondary is so bad? Im thinking we could also massively gut some team trying to trade up for Ridley or Moore in this senario.

as long as Rivera is our coach, our best chance at winning it all is to have a stellar year on defense.  I trust Cam and Norv can keep the offense afloat this season.  I would love to see us put together a secondary to compliment the front seven for once.  I would take the best DB available.

Yeah I'm saying Moore all the way, just looks like the kind of receiver we are missing...have CMC and it's not like Cap has been given enough reps to know what we have in him...can take a rb I just wouldn't do it before round 3..tight end..if the receivers/secondary we like are gone I'd be ok with it...it's not like we haven't lost games because Dickson had a tendency (obviously couple exceptions) to not catch wide open touchdowns/first downs

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
