Do You Think Rhule Will Double Down on another Defense Laden Draft in 2021? What Would You Do ?

So Rhule drafted all defense in his first draft in 2020. Well Hurney. Well , Im just assuming Rule had significant input in the picks. 

What direction do you think they will go this coming season? Just say nothing changes and we pick exactly where we are right now (pick 9) ? Will he double down on making an excellent defense (Assuming  focus might be on the LB core and secondary instead of the Dline?)

Or maybe it'll be more balanced ? 

What would you do? Id honestly be looking really hard at upper echelon Oline and Linebackers early (assuming a QB isnt picked).

QB first, rest D or OL. No skill position players please

I don't want us to draft QB in the first just to draft a QB in the first. 

We have the offense right now w/ Teddy to be winning ball team if paired w/ a real defense.   Id' rather just focus on making this team a QB away from being legit contenders.

We certainly could draft all defense again to address the holes. We have that many holes, and you can't assume everybody you draft is going to stick, even if you are really good at the draft.

We certainly could draft all offense to address the holes.  We have that many holes.

We desperately need OL, LB, and TE help.  We could use a safety.  Overall, I agree with the OP's last line/assessment.

Today, we do not need a WR.  If Samuel moves on, that's another piece to add to the wish list.

I think our defensive line is ok.  We have several young talented players that will get better.  Might need to sign 1 or 2 free agents, but that's about it.  No big name free agents, just 1 or 2 guys who can work alongside and fill in for the young guys.  Draft picks should be Oline, linebacker, and secondary.  Order should depend on who is available.

The draft will depend on what we do in free agency.  Free Agency is going to depend on how the cap get calculated for this year.  If the cap goes down to 175 million the way some people think it will there will be alot of good players playing on 1 year deals for way less than market value.  If we sign a lot of O linemen in free agency then the draft could be mostly defense.  But I don't really think they really go that route.  I don't want to walk into next season with 3 rookies at center and both guards.  Or the whole left side of the line and center  to be rookies.

Are we closer to putting together a defense that can win with Teddy at the helm, or are we closer to putting together a team that can win with a Franchise QB?

The answer to that question will dictate what we do in the draft.

If we win a few the value will be at CB in round 1. If we lose out the value will be at QB.

I think the draft will be BPA at a position of need. We have a lot of needs so this draft could be all over the place. Maybe something like this:

1.) QB

2.) RG

3.) CB

4.) LB

5.) Safety

This draft is definitely going to be our best opportunity to get a young QB for the future. There are 4 great prospects and 1 will certainly be there for us to take. It's going to be a no-brainer (although I've seen this team screw that up so much that I'm fully expecting us to take a linebacker or something). Teddy will be a great mentor for a year but is not the future.

I frankly think if we had Luke and Bradberry this year we would be a winning team this season.   9-7 type team.   

granted those are 2 really really great players.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      Lol.  Now you make me defend DG. We had the best IOL in the league under DG and Oher looked solid until he got that bad concussion. DG drafted Moton and Daryl Williams as well. The OL fell apart under Hurney 2.0 and Fitterer. DG also drafted Star and Short. Sorry, but that was all in 5 drafts so let’s not make stuff up about not trying to improve hog mollies. Gettleman did a ton wrong and took the wrong guys, but he and Rivera had a deep and talented team and it got blown up really quickly. Also, I love Cam but he wasn’t the best QB in the league. He had the best year in 2015 but he wasn’t Brady. I think Dan has had a solid offseason, way better than last year but I’m not putting on rose colored glasses until we actually have a 10 win season. Again, Dave and Ron had 3 10+ wins seasons out of 5.

      Yeah I wont often comment on a coddled generation and participation trophies but this sort of begs for it. Also how did an athlete achieve at that level without getting a thicker skin?

      Right, basically what I said. Dude is crowning Dan after a 5-12 season and 1 draft, which as of right now, wasn’t good. I wasn’t judging Morgan at all. People read what they want to read like that I loved Gettleman and think he was awesome. Nope. All I said is that it’s way too freaking early to act like Morgan is amazing. I used the Gettleman/Rivera record just like I mentioned that Rhule almost beat both #1 seeds in this first year. Morgan/Canales’ team would need to win 11 a year to get to a similar record as Gettleman/Rivera’s first 5. If you are going to given Morgan a pass for bad talent, we were 15-33 the 3 years prior to Gettleman/Rivera. Again, I think all of us want this team to win again but maybe I’m a little jaded in thinking that I enjoyed 2013-2017 a helluva a lot more than 2018-2024 and I’m not a fan of smoke getting blown up my ass like we have already back.
