A safety has not been taken in top 5 since Sean Taylor.   Taylor was a unicorn.  A rare athlete and football player.  But there is a player in upcoming draft comparable.  

Kyle Hamilton is that guy.  6'4" 220lbs of lightning.  I know positional value etc.  Really though can you imagine a secondary with a resigned Gilmore, a healthy Horn, Chinn and Hamilton prowling the center? 

Just saying.  Believe it or not this could be a option if... We can find a guard and or center in FA.   I prefer to either trade down and load up on BPA at positions of need,     ( MLB, FS, OL and of course QB) or take either Ikem, Cross or Linderbaum and save QB till next year.  Kyle Hamilton is a dark horse for that pick though.  Someone no one is talking bout as a option so...

It wouldn't shock me. Even though I've been pounding the FA drum for years, Amy pick we make in the 1st that isn't a QB or OL is a fuging idiotic pick.

QB class is terrible.

6 is too high for a QB.

QB won't help in year one.

BC is developing nicely at LT.

Too early for an IOL.

You don't pass on an elite talent in the top-10 to chase need.

I can hear all of the excuses now. 

I totally expect a pick none of us are expecting.  This place will implode. 

Maybe a safety isn't bad, it could be a corner.

Trade back

A big hitting safety, with todays rules, don't have the impact they used to in my opinion.

True.  If he was only a big hitting safety.  For his size he is a playmaker on the ball.  Him and Chinn would a fearsome duo.

Sorry, but Brady is not a long term answer at LT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably not, most are not.  But you have seen a few games and he was decent--while it takes rookies a while to develop.  Pretty premature assessment, if you ask me.

We tend to throw away players if they do not make that big splash.  A third rounder who has been practicing at G is moved to LT and does fairly well.  You are ready to move on after what, three/four games? 

Our glaring weakness is the IOL. Do you think BC is a G?  If so, what is that decision based on? 

Not challenging your opinion (even though this was not stated as such), but I want to know what you have heard/see that impacts your opinions.  In my mind, there is reason to be cautiously optimistic about BC at T.

He was a 3rd rounder for a reason. He probably is a G. There are 3 top LT in the draft, though I think one is really a RT. They are top 10 for a reason. When you see how he graded out in his starts, it was mediocre at best. Go get an immediate starter and difference maker

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By top dawg · Posted

      Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By rayzor · Posted

      I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through

      I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
