I think DT is the lowest overall rated group. TE is carried by Pitts and couple of 2nd(late) guys. DT only has Levi Onwuzurike, who is rated everywhere. Id much prefer focus on OT, OL, CB, QB, LB with the first 4 rounds. Marvin Wilson and Barmore are about the only ones worth 2-3 rounder. Just a super weak class, value doesnt match til about the 5th for me. 

I disagree with their being value in 3rd, still what names do you believer will be there and worth the 73rd pick? I feel WR will still hold the best value advantage over DT, but its not a big need. I dont believe Paye is a DT, you may feel different. I still feel the edge group will be loaded for the 39th pick tho...

DT with 3rd round grades: McNeill (late 2nd), Williams, Togiai and Tufele. A couple more are early 4th contenders.  So yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing one there.   Again, if we traded back we can get two of three between IOL, DT or CB, I would be happy.

I'm not sure why you want a LB since we signed several guys in FA.  I think the team values veterans in the middle of the defense.  Let the young athletic DL get after the QB and let the savvy veterans dictate what happens in the middle of the defense which will, hopefully, keep our mediocre corners from having to cover for very long.

The same goes for IOL, they signed several guys so they they wouldn't have to burn a pick there unless the value was too good.  You set up the draft through FA.  There's no need to double down on positions that spent money to shore up in FA.  If there's a center that drops from the 2nd or Mienerz is still there at #73, I would be all for that.  However, guard is a nonessential position and the talent level flattens out after the top few prospects.  Why spend a 3rd on a OG when you can get the same talent two rounds later?  How I feel about the IOL how you do about DTs.

You have McNeill (late 2nd), Williams, Togiai and Tufele rated much higher than I do, couple rounds difference. 

I want LBs cause Perryman is injury-prone and that just leaves Shaq. I could better answer this and the DT deal if I knew what system Phil Snow is running in 2021. Carter is a backup and may get cut due to staff fiction. So thats 1-2.5 and you want/need 5-6. Still dont know if the plan is 4-3 or 3-4 or 3-2, or ????. 

IOL I have zero faith in any current ones minus Miller and Daley(whos injury-prone) I feel pat who is terrible is the 2022 C in waiting, still hes an poor OG. 3rd round is a normally when top 5 OG start getting drafted.

FWIW, I've been doubling down at DT and using one of our 6th rounders on Bobby Brown or Tonga for a 1-tech.  That way we have a bunch of young studs on rookie deals in the middle of the D-line.

Brown worries me. He's got the NFL body and ability but he can disappear for long stretches.

For a 6th round pick, you are taking a gamble anyhow.  I don't like the really big guys like Slanton and Shelvin.  Once DTs get north of 330, they are basically glorified speed bumps to simply occupy O-linemen.  I think Rhule values DTs that can get up the field, especially those from a 1-tech spot.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
