WR- duh

OL- depth

LBs- everything

CB- depth, spot starter, NB

FS- depth

DL- depth roles for new 3-4

This is assuming the 1st is used on QB. 

Maybe- RB shouldnt be too hard to find a better option than either chubba or blackshen.

TE as well- lots of number 4 depth players. 

summary- whole squad. focus should be BPA.

I agree on everything but RB and TE. The added FA's make those less important. I would say CB should replace those. Also a single utility OL guy who can fill multiple spots in a pinch consolidates those two. So in my opinion WR, ILB, CB, OL and 5 tech. Just trimmed it to 5 needs. Something is gonna have to give cause we are limited by number of picks and that 1ST is earmarked for one position.

Good question.

Based on what they said about Chinn and Luvu, it tells me that they need a nickel CB (to keep Horn on the outside) and they need an Edge (So Luvu can play LB and maybe some OLB in 4-3 looks?)

1.  WR (if we sign Chark or another, this is eliminated)

2. OLB/Edge (I am hoping that Barno steps up)

3. Nickel CB (A nickel CB to use when Chinn is not playing the big nickel would keep Horn outside)

4. 3-4 DE  (these are rotational players, and we definitely need at least 1 DE)

5. Swing OT (As of now, this may not be that big of a need--Cade Mays to LG, BC to swing T.  still like to see a depth player so that we do not lose effectiveness at 2 positions if a T goes down)

6. LB  (I like Smith, but with Thompson, we need some depth)

7. Safety (we have 4 Safeties if you count Chinn, and if Chinn plays somewhere else, we would have no depth for 3-S looks.

Not fair to go back to March 19 and call you out, but I recently posted something and I can't recall the source--that they preferred to have BC as the swing T and that is the reason they might draft a G.  One thing is for sure, if the take Bryce, the OL will be top notch.

Biggest needs:

WR, OLB, DE.

 

I think that this is important.  Easy to list 5-7 needs and say, "We have 6 picks to fill these needs"   In most cases, 2 needs will be filled during the draft--and QB is the first.

So can we fill 3 needs with picks 39, 93, and 114?  That would be amazing, but probably not. 

If I had to pick 2 needs after QB, I might go Edge (OLB) and G. 

I recently started thinking that G might be a need bigger than anyone realizes.

The staff did a good job filling needs in FA in order to take BPA when the draft rolls around.

I would still say:

Tier 1: WR, TE and edge

Tier 2: NT, ILB and RB

Tier 3: CB, 5-Tech, swing tackle, C/G, FS

Here is how I see it:

Tier 1:  OLB/Edge  I just don't see Haynes, Barno, or YGM as being good enough to play opposite Burns.  I have this at Tier 1 because we need a starter or rotational guy day 1, imo.  By the way, if NT is a bigger problem than I realized, I could see us taking Mazi Smith at 39 if there.

Tier 2:  CB, G.  I think CB is a bigger problem than we are acknowledging.  DJax has a torn Achilles, Horn has been a bit fragile, and Henderson and Taylor were posterized by Evans and I can't forget it. The draft is pretty deep at CB as well--gotta fish while the fishing is good.  I think they may want to pull Christensen out as a swing T and find a starting LG--Cade was not bad last year--As for a backup C, we have Mays and McCown.

Tier 3: WR, TE, FS: The reason I have WR so low is that I do not see the need big enough for us to bypass an edge in round 2.  After that, we have a full roster of smallish slots--which is what this draft is all about.  TE?  I would have had this #1, but we signed Hurst and have Tremble and Thomas---not great, but not our biggest need either.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
