Couple more observations

This defense needs a Complete Overhaul.

Only people that should be safe

Luke

KK

Jackson 

Reid

 

Im about begging Ryan Kalil to come back for 1 more year.  Because this whole draft needs to hammer down on defense.

If Kalil retires.  Thats another Huuuge hit a critical position at center.

I still think Larsen can be a serviceable placeholder for one year while we overhaul the defense. If there's a great center at one of our mid round picks this year, pull the trigger, otherwise get him in 2020. I don't think Kalil will be talked into playing another year for a reasonable amount.

The good news is, we hit on at least three of our first four picks this year. Moore is coming along nicely, as are Jackson and Thomas. The jury is out on Gaulden. He might just suffer from lack of coaching, since Rodgers has been asleep at the helm all year. If we can hit on three next year, and have a decent FA, we could fix a lot of these problems.

I think this is exactly what will happen. Larsen will be a stopgap and we'll draft a developmental center in the mid-rounds.

DJ Moore needs to touch the damn ball more.

This is a long Chubb run. 

Cox Jr owned by a TE, allows both DT's to be double teams. 

Mike Adams awful again. 

Shaq Thompson is bear hugged by a lineman.

Got away with a little hold on Shaq, not that he would have been able to make a play necessarily.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
