We Haven't Drafted a Defensive Player in R1 Since 2021.

This is a huge contributing factor as to why our defense has been so terrible 

We haven't used a 1st round pick on a defender since getting Horn in 2021.

Also strikingly, SEVEN out of our last eight top 2 picks in the draft are all offensive players. 3 of those 7 picks are one QB and two WRs that aren't even on the team anymore 

Needless to say. I'd be pretty miffed if we get another offensive player in 2025.

This fuging franchise just isn't good at drafting wrs. Outside of Musin Muhammad,  Steve Smith, and DJ Moore. In 25+ years as a franchise.

I wouldn't be surprised if the get another wr in r1 or r2 this year. They'll keep doing it until we get a aj brown/dk Metcalf type dude they keep desperately trying to find

They need to fire those sorry ass scouts. I know for years green Bay and Pitt have found WRs in all parts of the draft. 

 

Heres the current deal, the best group this team knows is WR. Dave was a WR for years, his OC brad was one at TB, and there's a HOFer as Carolinas' WR coach. They should have that spot on lock...

Tbh what is this franchise good at in general? I can’t think of anything.

And they lucked their way in to Smith. He was a 3rd round punt returner

Offense or defense a big part of why we've been so terrible is that we've done a lot of terrible drafting and let some decent players walk. We've pretty much been holding class on how to fug up roster management.

yup - how many of our 2nd / 3rd round picks are even starters since 2021?  BC and Tremble are at least getting playing time and are solid depth, but beyond them, we've got... DJ Johnson...?

Other teams routinely find quality starters - or better - in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. We're just happy if they're still on the team 3 years later, lol

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
