Besides QB, what do y'all think are out biggest draft needs?

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. 

 

It with take Fitterer magic to pull this off but, I really believe we need to come out of this draft with at least two starter capable of this group: OLB/Edge, CB, G.  To do this, Fittz may have to trade down from 39 (ugh), trade a player to create draft capital (Chinn) or swap a 2024 pick for a 2023 pick (ugh again).  None of these options are optimal.  As much as I like Chinn, he may be a 'man without a country' in Evero's 3-4 scheme but, he has trade value.

We need a CB who can play and an Edge.  I personally think Mays can step up at G if needed---but I am not that informed about his limited performance in 2022.  I think BC should be a swing T with the ability to backup C.  We still need a player--This (my opinion) changes as I do more research and read more posts, but I think you are right--I truly see OLB/Edge as our biggest nonQB need, followed by CB and OL.

1 WR - Tee Higgins

2 WR#2- 2nd round draft pick

3 NT - FA

4 EDGE- FA 1 year deal Marcus Davenport maybe 

5 TE- Draft 3/4 the round

6 O line - C and G - FA/Draft

7 LB- Draft 4/5th round 

8 NB- Draft 4/5th round

 

I think those are all positions of need. TBH an argument could be made that almost every single position on offense needs to be upgraded besides RG and RT. Above are realistic targets I could see us going after

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
