Fairley is intriguing because we need DT help, however most DT's take 2 years to get really good in the NFL. Its hard to say past Luck at #1 who we WOULD take because we do not know who our coaching staff is going to be next year. We could go anywhere, DT, QB, WR, who knows until the new staff arrives and starts going to work. If its Harbaugh, expect 99% it will be luck. As I've said, as I've read, if one goes so will the other.. and why not both to Carolina. Lets go Pittsburg, lets go Saints. Lets go Bengals, lets go Bills, lions, and Broncos. The only thing about the Broncos is, I do not think they take luck #1 overall, and if we want him and are at #2, no reason why we could not make a trade there if we really wanted to, or needed to.

If Luck is available and we use the # 1 overall pick on Fairley I will lose my mind...

With some people that post on this board I wonder how far they would have to go to lose theirs. I think if they would just turn around at the right time it might run away:yesnod:. I include myself in that group.

I think DT will be much easier to find than QB or WR or even CB. I would trade down if not taking Luck. If that is not an option, I would grab the best #1 WR in the draft, AJ Green. He is a better football player at his position than Fairley is at his. Next I would take Peterson, a strong CB.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isnā€™t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFLĀ has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achillesā€¦ Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.Ā  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again ifĀ you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with RichardsonĀ being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.Ā  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
