We're winning two more games.

 

Tackle is NOT OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM!  Watch the games!  We have no inside anchor at all.  Most of the sacks we give up are caused by . . . yes, inside pressure.  We can't blow people off the ball for 2 yards.  Tackles don't fix that.

Inside is easier to fix than outside.  Guards are a dime a dozen, franchise left tackles aren't.  Get the LT and C then some decent guards and the OL is fixed.

There's going to be some bad football teams making the playoffs this year. A lot of teams fighting to get to 9 and 8. Wouldn't be surprised by an 8 and 9 team getting in as the 7th seed in the NFC.

It’s turning into the NBA.  A losing record, or even a .500 record should not get you in the playoffs.

I thought expansion would be great.  All it will do is water things down.

This is just the glass-half-full way of saying we need to replace 4/5 of our Offensive Linemen 😛

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
