All the holes we have everywhere now is there really a bad pick we can make?

i say pick a position thats hard to find a good one outside of the top 10

 

so QB or OT imo

 

though, if pass on OT i like the potential we have at OT. play them in a tank year, see what we got, and draft one next year if need be. go get Tua this year

Not against any of that but i think tua out of reach and taking him subjects him to the very first problem you presented at OT which could bust him up for good and already has hip issues...

then cut all older expensive guys, let the young guys play to see what we have, and get a top QB next year. 

 

oh yeah, and take it on the head this year as far as dead cap, so in the following years we have all the resources  available to create a smart rebuild, and not be held back by past contracts

I would be on board with that as a long term move, I dout tep wants to be just straight up ass gas for a year or 2 tho... he seems like losing really pisses him off.

I don’t think we would even have the option. Someone is going to fall in love with him at the combine and take him ahead of us I think. He really is a freak but I REALLY am crossing my fingers for Brown. Maybe figure out a way to get back up in the range of some late first round interior lineman after that. 
 

I just hope we stay true to the idea of being patient and don’t go chasing after a Herbert at 7 or a Fromm in the second etc

are they 7th pick good tho? not so sure.

Agree with you. That’s why I’m on the Brown train personally. LT is a big need but Brown appears to be as “can’t miss” as they come on another huge position of need. 
 

When you are picking at 7 you just have to make sure you don’t miss. Brown will be productive for a long time.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
