The Perfect Draft (If Cam Comes Back 100% Healthy)

You have no damn idea if Little or Thomas is better 

What we know right now is Little is an injury prone LT who had so-so performance his rookie season. And Thomas is a grade A certified bad ass LT from college.

The idea is you let the best man win the job. Then you put the other dude at LG and have a road grading o line 

If Little is good and stays healthy that only benefits you in terms of the quality and depth of your offensive line 

Injury prone LT for a injury prone QB sounds about right. I like moving him to guard and taking Thomas but idk if Thomas makes it to us at 7.

Marty isnt drafting a LT

 

dont shoot the messenger

A team with almost the same football operations front office who invested the equivalent of a 1st round pick in a 21 yo LT prospect just last year won't be drafting one with their 1st this year.  How did you come to that conclusion?

because most huddlers predict we will take a LT and that its the biggest need.

LTs have a high bust rate

 

a rookie LT is far from a sure thing

I’m thinking the same thing. I can see a DT and then C/G in the 2nd. Biadasz might be an option to man LG hoping Paradis is healthier and stronger this year and then slide into C in 2021 and cut Paradis.

I may be in a minority but think a new center is critical. 

We also need to acquire more draft capital so my ideal scenario is a trade down in the 1st or 2nd but Hurney doesn't typically do that :/

 

Losing Norwell and Kalil should have made a C/G guy a priority last year. Still annoyed at the Little pick instead of McCoy. Just like the Packers started Jenkins at G, McCoy could have been our LG and the taken over C. Marty drafted Ryan Kalil and yet he couldn’t see he had a maybe better C staring him in the face and he decide to take another big risk on an Otah with even more risk.

A DT is the same deal .. what difference will a rookie DT have on an overall poor defense.

We hired Phil Snow as DC .. we obviously don't care that much about having a great defense.

Right now, we can get Sacks on Defense - if we're playing with a lead because of Brady/Newton then Sacks are what we'll need

I mean, you have to start somewhere and more than half of the top talent are DTs or OLs.  Where do you propose we start in building the offense or defense or are you just being a contrarian?

I think we are a win-now team in disguise. We have the best RB - we have arguably the best WR (CMC - Moore) .. if Cam is healthy, and our offensive line can improve a bit - this will be an excellent offense ..

I say we draft Jeudy. So we can roll out CMC, Moore, Jeudy, Samuel, with Cam .. that will be prolific. People here don't realize how close we are.

I mean, we don't have an LT, LG, C, TE, WR2, NT, Base DE, LB minus Shaq along with a coaching staff full of guys completely green when it comes to the NFL level.  There's some pretty substantial holes and overall question marks.  I can see us surprising some depending on what shakes out but I have no idea what type of team we're about to roll out.  We're down to the studs minus Moore, CMC and Shaq.

I will say, power to you for the optimism I guess! haha

Rhule has said he wants to start working the defense first...

[Khyber53]

If we don't pick up a good center, then it won't matter. That line won't hold with a still learning LT, a fairish LG, an overpaid underperforming RG and a trained up but last contracted season RT. 

Moton will cost us bucks to keep, and we can't afford to chase another FA center, not to mention that our QB won't survive a line that collapses from the inside again and again.

Every year X, Y, Z are supposed to be key contributors for NFL teams while A, B, C were not expected to do anything yet turn into All-Pro's - while X, Y, Z do nothing.

Paradis, Little, Ian Thomas .. three players I expect to be great in 2020.

WR2 .. Samuel is a stud .. he's had no QB
