Javon Hargrove could be a cap casualty in San Fran. Trade for him and select T Mac or Burden depending on where we land in draft order. 
 

Or figure out a way to trade for Hargrave & sign Higgins. Then we can select Travis Hunter or the best EDGE rusher with our first pick and make a playoff run in 2025. 

I'd rather Milton Williams in FA than Hargrave

Mason Graham is the perfect fit. Dude plays angry and would bring more “dawg” to this team. For those saying we don’t need him bc we have Brown, do y’all not remember teams still gashing us up the middle before Brown got hurt? You’d have to double team one of them but couldn’t do both. I get we need edge rushers too but if u are taking BPA, it’d be so hard to pass up on a guy who we know would instantly upgrade this line considerably. Last night when it was looking like we were about to win, I was thinking we’d need a gas mask leak on draft night for him to fall to us. Looks like he’s still within reach!

If youre drafting in a top 10 and already have an elite run stuffer, i dont think you want another run stuffer in then top 10. You can get plenty of them in R2-R4. 

This.. didn't the Titans get sweat like in the second round? Guy is one of the best in the league. Hunter is the grand prize of this draft after that edge

This team is going nowhere until it can stop the run with any sort of consistency. Sick and tired of getting gashed every single week. Graham next to Brown could be an elite duo for years to come in the middle of our defense. I hear the argument for Hunter or Tet loud and clear, but the run defense is the single biggest hindrance to success for this team right now. 

I get your logic and appreciate the level of frustration behind this post--next season, we will have Brown back. That makes everyone on the DL better.    In my view, A'shawn Robinson and Shy Tutttle have underperformed their contracts and one will be released if not both.  Both will be 30 in 2025.  Cutting them saves us about $13m--and I am not sure we can replace them for that.  I think we need a big, 350 lb run stuffer inside.  

If you are drafting early and you need a QB, you almost half to take a QB.  If you need an Edge, you have to take the edge.  While I love the player you mention, I think we get an upgrade vs. the run when we get Brown back.  I also think you draft a DT in round 2 or 3. 

Depending, of course, on what we do in free agency.  Last year, Evero got screwed when all efforts went into the offense.  I was not a huge fan of the Legette pick, but give him time.  I think we got the best RB and second best TE along with a very good (potentially) WR--that is not bad.  This year, we need to address the defense and find a stud WR and mid round QB to develop.

I disagree. Edge is one of the strong points of this draft. Abdul Carter the guy from Georgia, Pierce, this edge group I think is better than last years

There is an edge from Mississippi that I like, and the big guy from Tex AM (Scourton) has an unreal spin move.  I think we need to draft one in the first round (maybe to his point) because they will be gone by pick 50 or so.  If there is an elite WR sitting there in the first round, depending on what we did in free agency, that could get interesting.

I sorta think the WR group is down, but my favorite in round 2 or so is that WR from Stanford.  A dark horse.

I am all about this. Weak DE/Edge draft. 

 

Pair Mason Graham with Derrick Brown. Need a CB2, and we are cooking with peanut oil. 

Some of the young edge pieces we have are playing well since getting healthy. 

 

I wouldn't hate a WR, but I think the next step for this team is improving on Defense.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
