DEs

Another big need that will be addressed 

our biggest need on defense.  And in the big needs category along with QB, WR, TE. And possibly LB.

im still not convinced they won’t go QB rd 1.  So going to look at some guys with our 2nd pick and beyond.

this one is a little tricky for me scouting wise.  Because there is a good amount of talent in this class.  But weeding through, a bulk of them are more “edge rushers” and less DEs (Andre Carter is one of them, good player but is a standup edge Lb).  Meaning a lot of standup rushers or smaller weak side guys.  So finding one that fits us as a SDE on the other side of Burns will be slightly more difficult.

 

 

one guy I’m really falling for and is rising up the board is Lukas Van Ness.  He been starting to mock him in rd 2 us more and more.

Dude is Raw, but has tools you gets excited for and a even better Motor. 
He’s a bigger body so fits well for us opposite of Burns.  He’s played inside and out.

trouble is we don't know what scheme we'll be running next year,  because we don't have our coaching staff next.  In my mocks I've been taking 4-3 guys, and we have a good chance of one of the top guys falling to 9.

seems to be more choices for the 3-4 guys, as usual.  The big rushers are hard to find.  You take them first if you have a QB....if we don't spend our first on a QB, I'd take  SDE if available, otherwise, WR.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
