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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
