BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA, and uhhhhhh BPA!!!!!!

I like how ppl keep saying this but if they draft a QB, RB, or MLB ppl would freak the fug out here especially... This ideology should come with a caveat like BPA according to list of needs..

I'm beginning to think we take Burns if he is there and Sweat and Gary are gone. It fits with the new flex look. In the second round select the DE from Texas and we are well on our way to fixing the DL and LB situation. Use the 3rd round selections for CB, S, or OL.

In fairness, I don't think you will see someone at those positions what would be on our Best Players list at 16. Not unless something crazy happens with a QB falling. RB definitely not but I wouldn't be upset at seeing us draft either of the Devin's at LB. Not one bit.

Hmmmm I don't know .. If Haskens fall he could be considered BPA right??

This whole discussion is a need discussion which is why we ended up with so many busts in the past. You can't decide to go OL or DE in this draft. You have to pick BPA at a position of need. That way you get the best talent. We didn't need Kuechly when we drafted him but he was the BPA when he was picked. Then Beason goes down and suddenly he is a need. So we can use whoever we get but if we double down we could win with a Star & KK draft or end up with our 2016 draft which was a bust because we reached with 3 corners only one is still here.

Needs meaning you have a few so if you can't get your 1st need you go down the line of needs before you go to luxury picks.. Beason and TD were injury risk when we picked Luke.. Plus the added cavet is the Guy in a once in a blank talent like Luke was... I don't want a WR in the 1st round but if he is megatron or Moss than you got to take him..

Need meaning you set your mind on one or two positions and pick the best available only at those spots and avoid better players because they aren't at a position of great perceived need like linebacker for instance. Are their luxury picks this year. Even quarterback or running back could be a position of need if we sustain injuries like last year.

Based on our visits, I’d bet Sweat or Wilkins at 16 and Adderley or Risner at 46 and a tackle in the 3rd. Definitely don’t know who will be there, but it’s seems like DL, S or OL, OL/DL the rest of the way with CB sprinkled in somewhere. 

If my final draft happens, I would nut so hard!

Most teams picking in the top 20 have more than 2 needs.. So no I'm talking more than 2 positions.   What QB at 16 helps you this year if Cam gets hurt Really?? None.. So is it even worth it unless you're moving on from Cam.. And there is no RB replacing all the things Cmac does on this offense.. And there are alot of Cheap vet options on the street so yes a RB at 16 would be considered a luxury pick.. Like I said I like BPA thing in reason.. Butler and Shaq prove that..

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
