We should take Kyle Hamilton in the draft

Trade down and give your team a chance at grabbing both Tyler Linderbaum and Devin Lloyd. Best leaders in the draft on both sides of the ball. When it comes to the top players in the draft, we need more players like CMC, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Ryan Khalil, and Jordan Gross. Fewer players like Derrick Brown, CJ Anderson, Robby Anderson, Sam Darnold, and DJ Moore. Neal will be good, but will also be grouped with the latter.

Draft some championship caliber leaders!

Wait, what's wrong with DJ Moore? He isn't outspoken and doesn't sucker punch teammates in the face like Steve Smith but he is a good player. Not on Steve Smith's level of amazing and playing with the baddest most angry chip on his shoulder that's ever been seen from a WR like Smith but DJ is a good solid player and had made chicken salad out of chicken poo plenty of times in the past. DJ causes no trouble, seems to be a very nice guy and consistently outs up numbers even with a terrible offense. Nobody will ever match Steve Smith but for all his positive Steve had some negative too like being so cute throat to all young WR's and hindering their development. I don't think DJ is that way at all and I really don't see anything but positive out of him. I could only imagine what he could do if he was given a solid offense and some quality coaches.

He takes a lot of plays off and doesn't play tough

I've been banging the FS drum for YEARS. But, when you don't have a QB and you don't have an OL you don't have the luxury of drafting a FS in the top 10 in a league driven by offense. 

[45catfan]

Ah yes, the one thing we need to fix our team is a FS.  It's like some people don't even watch the Panthers.

This staff strikes me as one that will say Neal weighs too much, won’t take Lindenbaum high, so will reach for the 3rd-5th best OL prospect at 5/6 overall. …or Pickett.

Those two DEs will be gone and I see no one anyone would be worth trading up for. 
 

We could be looking at a similar line & coach with Pickett next year. Get ready folks.

BPA from this brain trust is how we had such an underwhelming draft last year. When you ignore positional value and needs it just gets you furthere from being a balanced team that has the luxury of just BPA.

Then again, I have never looked forward to the offseason in horror as I do this year. Last offseason was so bad it made Hurney look like he never left, just changed up the worst parts.

LMAOOOOOOO...it never fails this kinda talk around this time of year. To make it worst this staff will start saying the same thing close to the draft ignoring the glaring needs once again. Be my guest....cuz i want EVERYBODY gone. The failure will be to massive to ignore.

It was not my opinion prior to that draft, but bottom line is the Joe Burrow is the real (*&@$ing deal.  Then they said "Oh, here, have Ja'marr Chase".  Cincy is a good team.  Their line isn't wonderful, but Burrow makes fast decisions that make them look better than they are.

Cincys line is awful.

it doesn’t matter because the game has changed.

[FuFuLamePoo]

No we absolutely should not

With this staff … we will hear this 

Ekwonu is a first round guard and a 2nd round tackle

Yep. They'll pick great prospects apart because of metrics and measurables. They've seemed terrified of rookie QBs but now here comes along a guy that originally committed to Matt Rhule at Temple... oh fug.

Love Kyle Hamilton and would love to have him at FS, moving Chinn to SS where he belongs. 

However, that just cannot happen. We have ignored offense and this is an offense driven league. Draft Neal with pick 6 or trade down and draft Linderbaum. 

Best scenario might be, trade from 6 to around 14/15 with a team looking QB. Get pick 14/15 while adding a 2022 3rd rounder, and a 2023 1st. Then trade from 14/15 to around 20 while adding a 2022 2nd. This recoups our 2nd and 3rd this year, and gives us another 1st in 2023. Not always easy to make these trades, just speaking what might be best scenario.
