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.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
