Is Corner our second biggest need behind QB?

Horn pretty clearly our most valuable defensive player. We may have taken him for granted all year long. With his history of injuries - is corner now the second biggest need on this roster? Absolutely pathetic showing from Henderson and Keith Taylor today. Makes me sick to my stomach but if QB is off the board when we are drafting and we do not move up - does corner become our primary need? We have invested so much in the secondary in recent years and have nothing to show for it outside of Jaycee Horn.

I think you have to keep reloading in the secondary given this is a passing league. The same as with QB. You keep bringing guys in until you have a strong secondary. Injuries require you have lots of corners who can play meaningful minutes.  The reason we missed Horn was because Jackson was on IR. Otherwise corner was considered a strength for us. Taylor is like our 5th or 6th corner who playeddue to injury. He looked lost out there.

QB, DE, CB, WR, TE, LB

Those are our top 6 IMO.

QB is clearly #1, the order of the rest will probably depend heavily on the preferred schemes of the next staff. I'd favor WR and TE to support the new QB.

I'm going to move wide receiver to the end of that list. DJ is great, and I think Marshall is coming into his own. Shi it's pretty good and Shenault is a gadget guy. We could definitely use a couple of upgrades, but I don't think it says needy as the other positions you named

Our biggest need at CB is the need for them to stay healthy for the healthy.

Donte & Horn are enough to win with. CJ and Taylor Jr are #3/4 at best.

Our biggest need on D is probably DE. Improving the pressure improves every other position. L 

Burns is damn good..he's a force just not a constant force. He disappears at times. DT beside Brown is also a need. 

Depends on the staff we hire. Are we a 4-3 or a 3-4 mainly?. They might not keep Chinn at safety. 

Sidenote: I think Shaq will be a cap casualty.... Which makes MLB a need. 

Then you have the QB problem to deal with. Also the RB position unless your running with Chubba as the #1. 

Also have to address either the WR or TE position.... Restructure that contract Ian should have never received. 

Dunno where we stand with the cap situation in realtime but last I checked it was -3 million.

We lost 5 times on 1 trade. Lost by signing Henderson... adding his contract to the books...losing our draft pick...losing our best receiving TE since Olsen...which probably created a future lane to offering Thomas that ridiculous contract. 

Then you have today. We are obviously still losing from that one move.

I think a good TE will also open things up for those guys a lot.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
