Currently at pick #4

[DaveThePanther2008]

First of all, I think we should fix as many areas as possible other than QB going into 2025.  Young has played well the 2nd half of the season and needs more evaluation.  

I think DL should be our focus whether it is Graham or Carter with our 1st pick. I wouldn't be sad if we used our 2nd round pick on another D-Lineman.  It will be much easier to get a WR on a one- or two-year free agent contract than to pick a WR that could be JAG.  This also gives XL and Coker another year to develop. 

Our free agent picks in 2024 for the D-Line were, IMO, designed to complement Brown.  Once Brown went out those players were mediocre.  We need to have insurance in case Brown comes back and doesn't perform to his pre-injury play. 

Sadly, I think we should move on from Evero.  He doesn't seem to have the heart for this team.

It's a strong interior dline draft looking from afar. So there might be quality there in the second where we don't need to double down with Brown coming back and surely some signings in FA. And just throwing it out there i think Hunter declares as a WR because of second contracts

I'm all for him as CB doing returns and the occasional snap at WR. If it's close to an even split my fear is even if the guy is fairly durable any injury means you're losing a key player on both sides of the ball.

I think Mason Graham needs to be the guy. That or we trade down to 7-10 and get a second rounder out of it. Derrick Brown desperately needs some help on that side of the ball and there's no guarantee he's going to be the same player when he gets back.

Would love TMac but we could sign another vet WR in FA that is ready to go and doesn't need development. Coker, XL, and Sanders are going to be key pieces going forward anyways. If Dionte Johnson wasn't a nutjob WR would be fine.

We also need the future a Center, Free Safety, and we also need to take the best kicker in the draft. No more fuging around with Eddie P. We need a stud.

Our talent level is so low, and our defensive needs so vast, that just about any position we take in the first round at DL, LB, S would make us immediately better. I wouldn't even be "upset " if we took Will Johnson or Hunter at CB. Those guys would make us make our pass defense better overnight. My only drawback to to those guys would be the fact that they wouldn't heavily impact our RUN DEFENSE. 

As some have pointed out, our run defense is historically bad. You won't compete for championships if teams are gashing for 150-200 yards every game. A stud at DT, DE, LB, or even a hard hitting/in the box  Safety would help that issue immediately. But, if you did take a shutdown corner, you could use the rest of the draft and FA to solve our other issues.

The sad thing is we should be running away with the number one pick as we are statistically the worst team in the league by a large margin. Our point differential is 40 points worse than the second worst team in the raiders. 
 

we’re dead last in points against by 31 points. And 39 points above the giants who are the worst offensive team.
