Just re-sign Yosh Nijman and see how the draft plays out.

Yeah I think you go with Nijman and Christensen and see how the draft plays out. That way you aren’t handcuffed. If you draft a guy, you have Nijman with him and Christensen can go back to back up Guard.

With all the needs on the D I wouldn't do that. We can get someone serviceable but we nee playmakers with pick 1.

Perfect world yes, but this draft class isnt stellar. Top LBs will be gone I am sure and same can be said for edge rushers. I think OT, WR or TE will be in play at 19 if we are to go BPA

I think Saddiq or Styles will be available at 19 and if either are there you take them.

If an OT falls to us in the draft that could start Week 1, then you take him without question.  Gives us a LT for the season since Ickey is likely to miss all of it (even if he can come back late in the season, it's hard to just step in and play well in that situation, so might as well just take the lost season) and then gives us options in 2027 when Moton might be done.

I'd rather use the 1st on a defensive player, but if we can lock down a starting OL on a rookie deal for the next 4 years, you have to take it.

I think grabbing a OT at 19 is more and more the move at this point

I think Our brain trust will first determine our biggest areas they see in need. (Which are many as we know)  I would expect them to draft best player available with first round pick, then go from there. There may be some players of interest after June 1st roster cuts that are available because of salary capped teams.

So apparently our plan is to never draft anyone with talent on defense and just rock a bunch of JAGs out there...

We have signed enough free agents and drafted enough talent on offense for Bryce. We can't keep hoping that random bargain bin free agents and random guys we sign off other teams practice squads turn us into a good defense...

    • I was saying something similar. The drafted guys take time to develop. Unless you have a shot at someone like Julius Peppers, you are going to have to wait. Not exactly the same thing but for instance we got Charles Johnson in the 3rd, took him at least until his third season to start making difference.    So get a guy that is ready now short term. A prove it year for an established edge would be ideal. Let him prove it, say thanks, let someone else pay him. Pad the position with another developmental guy later.  
    • I have the same thoughts about RB/OL. What did we pay Rico? Not much. I know you saw the size of some of those holes when he was going off.  You can get 90% of the way to HOF level RB for probably a third of the money. Put that behind a well built OL and watch him work.    I would trade that out of that pick in a minute. 
    • Yeah, I was hoping to see significant improvement in Wallace this year. I'm pretty much always willing to give rookies a pass - especially a mid-rounder forced into a significant role put of the gate. Just show me some flashes and reason to hope there's something to build on. But when you still look like a week one rookie at the end of year two... ehhhhh... makes me wonder if there's anything there to continue to invest in. Going into year two in looking for more than flashes, I'm wanting to see some consistency and reliability and definitely by the end of year two. I just never saw it. He still looked like a rookie throughout.
