Failing to trade for Trent Williams...

Can you imagine our DL against the run without Poe? My God...

I've seen our run defense with Poe. It ain't that great.

My guess is if we had secured Breeland and he'd been healthy, we'd have used a high pick on somebody other than Donte Jackson.

Jackson's another one that's kind of at a crossroads.

The scary thing is that it would be significantly worse without Poe.

To be fair, the O-Line would probably be worse without Matt Paradis too.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean he's all that good.

I honestly doubt it. I think Larsen would be a lateral move at worst. We were actually statistically better in virtually every offensive category when Larsen was playing in Kalil's place and I think Ryan was better last year than Paradis has been this year.

Speaking of Breeland, he’s been pretty damn solid in KC. I like our corners now so am happy for him, but damn he was a good signing if not for the weird injury stuff.

That was a weird situation but I would not have paid him either. KC got a steal.

That doesn't exactly say good things about our roster management.

Let's just say we disagree about Poe.

Imo paradise has gotten better as the season has gone on. Especially with all the shifting in the line.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
