Who to draft....

[mc52beast]

We could draft one or more of the decent o-linemen next year OR;

We can just keep the trash that Rhule thought was treasure and trust that he can wave his magic wand and make them better.

O line is a no brainer, time for this franchise to take serious investments in that department, secondly we should look for whatever the defense needs to consistently play at the level they played earlier in the season, whether another dt or lb something has to be done

why would someone move up from 8 to 6 in this draft and what are you picking up?

I was thinking the same thing. It’s really cute how everyone thinks other teams will bend over backwards to help us get more picks plus the players we need.

...as pissed off as everyone is now, its not going to compare to how pissed off you are going to be after the draft...

Neal or Cross. Period.

Trade down. Trade CMC.  Acquire two 2nd round picks.  Believe or not trading down could effectively move us out of the range of Linderbaum, Cross and Ikem.  That said we are in prime real estate for a second tier tackle or guard.  I feel we need four picks in the top 100 to progress the team. Add a linebacker and free safety during the first 3 rounds and hit on em the defense is set.

What team is giving us 2 seconds for mr glass?

Trading CMC will nuke the cap with dead money. CMC is here to stay.

The fans get it, why can't this freaking coaching staff?

This is a simulator site and the three most drafted players so far in first round simulations.

If BC can play LT then that allows us to get either the Iowa center or the kid from NCSU and just like that the line is upgraded

 

QB comes next year.  I dont want this lame duck coaching staff anywhere near our next qb.  Next years class looks loaded and this one is kindof meh

I do not see them waiting a year for a QB.  Maybe impulsive before building the OL, but they will bring in a new face at QB some how.  But you are right--the OL SHOULD come first, but...

Center is huge. No aging vet replacement there. I’d go C > Tackle. See if Christiansen(spelling) can actually play Tackle next year. 

huge gap between Lindebaum and the next best C. Would not mind the pick one bit

Wouldn't mind him one bit if the tackles are gone.

I’m starting to think Linderbaum isn’t a good pick at 5 or 6. I want a tackle. Humphrey and McCoy were both the best centers in their draft class and they were 2nd round picks. You can get lucky with a tackle later but their draft value is so much higher than C. We’d be way better off taking a T at 5 or 6 and then taking the best C with our 2023 2nd than if we did the opposite. Do you want Wirfs and Humphrey or Linderbaum and Little?

I'm not crazy about drafting a center at 5 or 6 or either, but with a trade down I would consider it.

I could really see a tempting prospect for a need of ours falling to that 12-15 range.

C1 (Linderbaum), OT3 (Ekwano?), QB2 and/or QB3 (maybe Correll or Howell)
