Drafting to solve future problems

The good news is most of our impending free agents aren’t back breakers if we lost them. The top tier of them are past their prime or near retirement. The rest can be easily replaced or they wouldn’t be too expensive to bring back.

If we draft well at OLB this year, no one on that list is a must keep outside of maybe Moton.

I am fine with the concept of developmental prospects. It's really the execution of it that is the biggest issue.

TBH, given how many roster holes we have, most of our first through third round picks should be competing for starting spots on day 1. 

If that isn't the case....then the pick was a fuging mistake.

I'm not sure that will be the case after the 1st round. The talent in this draft just isn't that deep. The 2nd round is mostly backup level players and after the 2nd round you are just hoping for any kind of contributer where you can find them. I seriously doubt they get more than 1 starter out of this draft.

Yes but we have an entire roster of 2nd and 3rd string players. 

We should expect at least 3 starters by the end of the 2025 season, IMO.

I wouldn't expect it. But if they somehow do get 3 quality starters out of this class I will call that a win.

    • That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running. 
    • On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.   
    • I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
