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?

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
