Which side of the ball needs more help?


Recommended Posts

The defense probably needs more help because it has a couple spots which are probably more true holes, but it really isn’t that simple.

 

offense is inherently more valuable-it’s more expensive, the rules favor it, it’s harder to come by certain skill sets. Guys like Sadiq or Concepcion theoretically allow this team to do stuff it just doesn’t have the personnel to do right now. Then there’s OT-you’ve got one guy under contract behind this season, question marks with your LT, a class that’s uniquely fertile in our spot for options, and the skepticism that you’ll have an opportunity to take one next offseason if you’re picking later in the draft.

 

they can’t stand pat at a couple spots on defense, but that doesn’t mean they cannot acquire those positions elsewhere.  The offensive spots are much harder to come by when not using a 1st rounder.

Offense needs the most help because it's biggest need is the most important position. Unfortunately nothing can be done to fix that in the draft. I think you'll get a better return on investment with defense in the 1st round outside of a starting caliber left tackle.

I think they are closer to each other than in quite some time.

The obvious upgrade needed on offense is get Qb play that doesn’t rank in the mid 20s. 
 

Granted WR and TE and probably C could be upgraded but a better QB might make what we already have, better. 
 

Even XL looked better with just Dalton. 
RB too, but we might have something there if Brooks can play. 
 

Defense we need some help for DB up front and another ILB and two or three more pieces. S, edge, cb.

Seeing a lot of people still not able to grasp that the defense is miles ahead of the offense defense you have legitimate studs and horn brown Phillips Lloyd morig safety Mike Jack and to lesser degrees you got other players who were brought in capable Turk is supposed to be capable Bobby Brown supposed to be capable. Outside of our two guards and T-Mac maybe Bryce I don't think there's anybody that is comparable like there's no pro bowlers on offense

Pro bowl is a subjective measurement of talent. DB didn't make the pro bowl. Shadeur Sanders did. 

To be honest, I'd like to see what we could have done with a more capable QB. I believe our offense is being held back. 16 games to barely reach 3k yards is unacceptable, especially when he threw for over 450 in one. That's 170 ypg average the rest of the season. You aren't getting pro bowlers with that level of QB performance. 

The offense needs help in the one area Morgan will not address. KP hasn't thrown for over 2500 in a season. This is an offensive friendly league. Gotta be better at the most important position on the field.

Picking Sanders as a outlier is not the overall relative grade that normally happens he's just amazingly popular
