seriously you guys sound like a bunch of fuging size queens

I'll be thrilled that we addressed one of our many glaring holes with a stud player, instead of some potential.

then I will sit back, crack a beer, and enjoy my draft day as we would have likely chosen a stud defensive prospect.

I don't want a repeat of last years draft where some of the picks made me cringe.

If we trade down because we have Carson then draft AJ then draft a stud DT in the 2nd.

< Draft boner

I think CJ will be great from here on out, and if we can get a stud DT that will only help him. But I think second city panther is right, A few more year's like 2010 and then we can start to see how CJ look's. He'll be fine, we still need that DT to cause havoc on the line to help CJ and all our DE's.

No brain fart. I agree with the offensive woes, but we all probably agree that we desperately need 2 DTs, a CB, and possibly a DE. On offense, we just need to mature--and possibly a QB in the draft. I even think RG is covered, but I could be wrong. While our defense and punting teams were on the field way more than the offense, we did well. I agree. We have good rotational depth DTs, but RIvera is about being the best on D. I don't see our offense being the best regardess of who we draft. But a stud CB and a stud DT in the draft and free agency, we are a force on that side of the ball.

FWIW, Brown improved last year, and will probably continue to get better. Give him a stud DT to play next to, and I bet he gets better still. This guy really didn't do his homework before making his list.

I would totally trade the #1 pick to the Bengals for Palmer, their 1st and 2nd.

Then you could still get a good stud defensive player with the #4 pick... and then get a good player with the #2.

Marvin is a stud. His strength and speed will command two blockers at least 50% of the time. He really knows how to alternate use of these two aspects of his game to keep 'em guessing and he excels at both.

There are a lot of "if's" in your argument. Why gamble on signing free agents who may or may not be affordable and may or may not want to play here when we could pick up a stud DT at #1?

Time for a uniform design thread!

Something with pleats like the Hornets' "costumes" back in year 1. We already have the shoulder padding, but wouldn't long sleeves that are rolled up to the elbow scream, "Look out NFL, here comes trouble!"?

    • Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.
    • Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?  
    • When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
