With him and Horn matched up on guys it would be a wet dream. Lock down island. Next years draft I would not be surprised at all if we don't draft S and LB. That's about all that defense needs. 

That would be my point to check out on the staff and FO if they take two picks on defense in a draft where we only have a 1st, 4th, two 5th's and a 6th given our needs on the OL.

We have a top 10 defense and a bottom 5 offense.

Would be completely idiotic to take those picks with said 1, 4, or 5ths when they should go towards the OL. Sure get a S/LB in the 7th lol as if that would matter. Better off in FA for those and even if we bring in FA OL we still need youth there from the draft. 

I'm not kidding if they went defense with our first couple of picks in the already limited draft then I don't wanna hear anything at all about anything on offense Darnold, OL, or Brady. It'd be up to the defense 100%. Don't think it's happening though there is no way they look at this OL and thing "yea S or LB in the early rounds".

I haven't dove too deep into our cap in a hot minute, but are we able to sign all four -

Gilmore

Jackson

Moore

Reddick

With Taylor coming along the way he has, I think one of Henderson/Jackson/Gilmore gets moved or straight away isn't here next year. 

Boyue looks like the guy I would earmark for moving to S longterm. He has the mindset and vet knowledge to diagnose plays, while not being out of position. Not saying it's a perfect fit, but at 30 years old, he would make the most sense for me. DJax is too small and Henderson is too young with untapped upside to waste a couple of years trying to convert him.

Probably not but we don't need to. The only must haves there are Moore and Reddick.

Did you sleep through last year's draft? Do you really think we will end up with only 4 picks?

Sure does feel like Fitts is kinda trying to recreate the Seahawks. They found a stud QB with a 3rd round pick (best of luck replicating that). OL? Meh, no need to invest there. Secondary? Yes, please!

It's just crazy that we've never had a braintrust here that gave a single fug about heavily investing in the OL.

TBD. We've had rookies in the past who underperformed but developed into good pros and other rookies who played really well only to fall off the map afterwards.

In the past we had a GM we only wanted. Unless you think Hurney was actually good at the draft?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
