Now that is a grown man answer! Would love to hear that from the face of our franchise. -
The Lombardi video I posted in another thread a few minutes ago--Lombardi says, "You want to know what a team is going to do, look at the depth chart." He also mentioned how only 27% of first round WRs succeed and how most of the good WRs in the NFL were day 2 and 3 players in the draft? We have 2 30-year old ILBs (Jewell and Thompson). Not much behind them at all. LB is a huge need. At CB, we have oft-injured Horn, Dane Jackson, and 33-year old Troy Hill at nickel. Not much behind them. At WR, we have Johnson (a decent X), Thielen (a solid slot in his last year), and Mingo, a second year player at Z. Behind them, we have Smith Marsette and MAYBE TMJ. We could use a player to challenge Mingo and/or to groom for the slot position. I contend that this is not as big of a need early as LB or CB. We could argue that C is in the cards. -
well, we know generally.....we are going to end up missing on most of the guys we draft in reality. Draft history says that. Ours certainly does. That's why I like the WR double dip in a great WR draft class. Increases your odds of hitting on something that eventually works out. and we don't have a first day pick. as he said, day 2 and day 3 is often WR gold. I still think top of round 2 is just a sweet spot for WR. I think those hit rates are skewed. C has a good first round hit rate.....because you rarely see any C ever drafted in the first round because of how the league values it. So it's almost can't miss super studs twisting folks arms to have to take them.
