I think the front office has shown they want to surround bryce with the tools to succeed by trading away defensive(and offensive) pieces to put him in the best position to win. Your currently sitting at pick 4 with a real chance of the top 2 picks being QB and new England logically could go LT or Hunter coin flip.

If you are on the clock at 4 with a chance to grab a an elite peice for bryce, because let's face it he still doesn't have that. None of our current offensive options are number 1 options on any team. If you want to maximize Bryce I don't see how you go defense at this spot unless the pick is Hunter.

With hunter I think he is the only viable pick that can improve both sides of the ball in some fashion. No not  a full time starter on both but, you would be a fool to not sprinkle him in on which ever side that is not his main position.  I see the love for Graham and I like him but a run stopping defensive tackle in the top 4?  Unlikely.. the value just isn't there. He's a great player and if I'm picking between 6-10 he's in the cards.  

We have seen if you want Jamar Chase, Nabers those type talents they go high... That's what Bryce needs to take the next step. I do love Abdul Carter if hunter goes Number 3 to New England.. but at pick 4 I think those are the only 2 options right now.

Hunter or Tmac for me.

 

Hunter and Horn DB tandem would be great and we still have Brown in the middle at DT. That's a solid foundation to start building this defense. Also Hunter is a playmaker if he gets a INT he's looking to score. He's gonna put points on he board for the defense.

 

Tmac he's quite simply the only real true #1 WR in this draft. If you can give Bryce that kind of weapon it takes the offense to another level.

Just go BPA with stop 5 pick.  

I don't think that term really exists. Everything is weighted.. Say Sanders is on the board and is the boa you not going to take him.. or that tackle who is currently top 5.. you not going to take him. Everything is weighted to some degree to fill a gap.

That's it, if neither are there, trade down. I love Mason but not at 4, trade down to 8 and get an extra 4th rounder.

I'd take the tackle in a heartbeat if he grades that high

That trade down nets us at minimum and extra round 2 pick 4 spots in the first round hold a lot of value but yea I def like the thought of a trade down two 2nd round picks with Graham.

Hopefully free agency will set up round 1 for BPA. So depending how we go in free agency will dictate which direction we draft, but you have to get a DUDE in round 1. If we can get Hunter, he has to be used on both sides of the ball. So that can be designed plays on offense if he is our #1 CB and vice versa. There is only one true #1 WR And that can go a long way for Young going forward. 
 

Either way you look at it we have to get a DUDE in round 1.

I mean how... Where does he play? You benching icky.. benching moton?  Offensive line is a strength right now. Best since 2008.. if you take a tackle at 4 it doesn't make us much better at all.

Let’s not get cute with this draft pick. Can you sit there right now and believe in our front office to get this right? as it stands now, if we hold the number four pick then we should just get who we want to get or whoever is the best available in that position.
 

Time and time again we have seen our team fail in the draft with getting it right. I like what we have done so far, but I still don’t have the confidence in them with this trade down proposal. They will find a way to screw it up.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
