Bring back Devin Funchess

Remember when the Colts signed him, Colin Cowherd tweeted Funchess was going to be a difference maker now that he had an accurate QB with Andrew Luck. 

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

*breathes*

oh man, that was a good one. Juan's got jokes today everybody. Funny, funny guy. You're awesome Juan.

I would be fine going all in on offense with this draft if we deem it necessary. The defense is going to take a few years at least to shape back into what we remember.

Agreed. I've always been more of a defense wins championships kinda guy, but since we ain't winning nuthin anytime soon, might as well build a killer offense in the meantime and make things entertaining while the D is rebuilt. Plus I'm just not sure that old saw is true anymore with the way the rules are slanted towards offenses these days. Maybe that's just the thing to do.

Pick Jeudy and you might have a hall of fame WR.

When a team needs sooooo many positions, to pick the one first that is the deepest class in years, might not be the best move.  WR's can be had through the first 4 rounds who can be contributors and starters.  Other positions however are thin.  Best move might actually be CB or DT as far as value and drop off.  Auburn DT or Ohio State CB might actually be the smarter picks.

The past two drafts were insanely deep at interior OL and safety. The last draft was really deep at interior DL (3-4 DE and DT). Even though Eric Reid wasn’t even on the team at the time of the 2018 draft and Boston wasn’t on the team before the 2019 draft and even though we lost Norwell pre-2018 draft and Kalil retired after 2018, we came away with Norton as a 7th round DT, the least athletic CB to convert to S and 0 interior OL. The Saints lost Eric Unger after 2018 and got the best C in the past two drafts after our original 2nd round pick that we traded up with our 3rd to get Little. The Saints who have  Marcus Williams and FA after 2019 Vonn Bell at S took Chauncey Gardner Johnson after we took Grier and he looked good enough to be Bell’s replacement.

There is nothing in Marty’s draft history that leads me to believe that he’ll take advantage of draft strengths like the good teams (hate to call them that but they are better than us) do. How he survived the purge, I still don’t know. He hasn’t had a solid draft in over a decade. 

It’s almost like some GMs outsmart themselves.  As the original poster said there is no reason to “swim against the current”

I think a lot of GMs and fans would be better off when they realize in the draft you miss more than you hit.  No matter how “sure” you are of somebody chances are you going to be wrong. If a class is deep at a certain position take care advantage of it.
