Now that I think about it...

…The draft didn't go as well as I originally though and I'm kinda pissed.

  1. It's like nobody has faith in Moore yet. Does he really need 2.5 rookies to back him up??

  2. We still only drafted one D linesman.

  3. I don't understand why we picked up Wallace Wright along with all these WR draft picks. Now we have 7 wide outs, even though we're a team that rarely uses our #3 guy.

  4. Armanti Edwards could've been snatched further down.

  5. Do we really need three more defensive backs??

I thought the draft went well considering who the picks actually are, but all together… Some picks just seem like wastes.

Don't get me wrong, they were all great picks, but we barely addressed our D line, which was our biggest concern entering the draft.

I was wondering the same thing regarding the DL situation but with all the DL that were taken in the draft, Fox might be preparing to garbage pick and make a DL out of those guys. Similar to what we did with the OL a couple years back

i disagree. d-line was the 2nd biggest need. wide receiver was the biggest. steve smith will be 31 this season and he's the only reliable receiver we have. we've tried in the past to draft guys hoping they'd turn into something and none have. we had to draft a bunch this year in hopes that one or two have long term potential. we have plenty of average to undersized defensive tackles. there weren't any good huge nose tackles that we could've gotten that i know of. what did you want us to do?

You're all tearing me up about this, but of all teams in the NFL, we don't need to draft 3 wide outs. Yeah, they can help on special teams, and yes, we can cut Jarrett and Kenny Moore. But our D Line has no depth what so ever. We could use free agency I guess, but I don't see us being very active at all, as usual.

Hoe does the DLine not have depth? You should recheck the roster.

If anything depth is the strength.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
    • Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
