How would YOU address our need at MLB?

Whatever allows Chinn to move around. I just think the 2 up front and Burns & Reddick as standup DEs is dead. Run a 3-4 or 3-3-5 which is really what it would be with Chinn either way. 

Yup he's just twiddling his thumbs at Safety waiting for Carter to miss a block so he can clean it up. Either that or getting beat deep by WR's he shouldn't be covering. Too much micromanaging going on last year from the coaches, hopefully they realize they're making some things harder than they need to be

Hopefully Snow realized that this isn't school and the NFL Olinemen are going to continue to murder your LBers and DBs if you just put two big boys up at the LOS regardless of talent.

Speaking of arm length Bravvion Roy looks crazy out there. He's not bad as a backup but I don't think he'd be playing for any other NFL team, just the Baylor Panthers

IDK, they designed a lot of bad matchups last year. Just don't know but maybe

We don’t have enough cap space and picks to address every need this year, and this need isn’t as large as others. 
 

With that said, I’d throw a cheap contract at Vander Esch and a back up contract at Carter. See what comes of it. 
 

My other option is Darnold for Parsons straight up. I’m sure Dallas would be more than happy. lol

Yeah, our "rebuilding" has so poorly that we aren't close to a one offseason fix. Fix the most critical needs on the OL and/or at QB and try to salvage what you can in other areas.

Clark and Smith both have a chance to be there with our fourth rounder. Things could change but a trade back could also net us some nice third rounders.

See if fit can dig out some talent in late rounds which hes noted for...but 4th rd LB's...prolly wont amount to much... never say never.

You bank on maybe some depth guys in the 4th or later with the hope one every few years is a home run. 

If you are trying to draft day one starters in the 4th or later, you are probably in trouble.

Agreed man! I’d rather have a young athetic LB that needs to learn the game then watch Carter get bulldozed over and and over again.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
