The Case for CB at #7 (Okudah)

[Cpt slay a ho]

I scooped out the scenario in which I’d make him the pick.

dt isn’t as big as a need as stated, scheme is a bigger issue, so the right dc can fix the issues with the run defense. Mainly we shouldn’t have lbs taking on c’s and guards. We have cap to sign a stop gap like suh and keep McCoy. 

ot is harder to deter from given the issues but I would argue g and c play were bigger issues than actually ot play, also the qbs we fielded were horrible at pocket awareness or shifting the pocket. Little also was banged up majority of the year and Daley did look decent. The possibility of Thomas and Okudah being at 7 is slim but if both were there would be a hard choice.

bradberry, I’m not sold on this top 5 money he’s supposedly demanding, I would opt in to franchise him before giving him a long term deal.

brandon scherff in fa, and a c in rds 2-3 profit.

i can also make the case for WR at 7 and not resigning bradberry and using that money for a guy like Byron Jones instead

Realistically. This draft should go to the lines. Both sides. If they part from Cam, they still need to draft linemen. Nothing will get done without quality linemen. Start that foundation. Go from there.

   If a scenario unfolds that Thomas and Brown are gone, I’d be looking to trade down. I’m looking at this as a worst case scenario.

But point blank

 

We need to hit the trenches on either side with the first pick.

 

A strong DL and front 7 can mask a weak secondary.

 

What a strong secondary Can't do?  Mask a weak DL, watching teams run the he11 all over you.

This is what's a problem.. You're setting yourself up for failure.. If we don't get the best Olinemen or Dlinemen in the draft doesn't mean it's a failure or lost year. If we get the best CB or WR we can still get trench help in FA or later in the draft..

I see that.  However, there is a big dropoff in talent after about 8-10 players, imo.

That’s true as well.
