The Crappiest part about talking about the draft this year...

Is the fact that we actually have talent EVERYWHERE. each position we are filled to the brim with potential. the only problem is, they are all so damn young that we have no idea if it will actually pan out, and the ones who are proven commodities now have injuries that make us question whether or not to look into finding someone else.

What position do we target with our first pick this draft? Who the hell knows? We have plenty of needs, mostly on defense, but we have plenty of talented guys that have the potential to step up and be great. There is an argument for, and against drafting a guy with our first pick at DT, OT, WR, LB, and CB.

This would be so much easier if at least ONE of those positions would just stop making stupid, rookie, inexperienced mistakes throughout the season so we can actually evaluate who has "it" and who doesn't.

Maybe I'm just a homer, but I KNOW we have talented guys all across our roster, we just aren't putting it all together to get wins yet. Anyone else feel the same way, or am I just blinded by my black and blue tinted glasses?

when there is no glaring need you go BPA

the best teams in the league use this strategy and it's a wonderful thing, no more reaching on players because they're a desperate need

that said I disagree that we don't have obvious holes. right side of the o-line is still iffy(mainly RT), #2 corner & DT is a question mark, LB of course given all the injuries but I wouldn't use a top pick on one..

Its really going to depend on when we pick. if we are in the 6-12 range and a OT is still on the board there is no question we go there. We also have a huge hole at LB if Burfict is there when we pick he may be the pick. So I will say our biggest need is LB but i wont be shock if we OT especially if Kalil and Martin is there.

I agree wholeheartedly that there are obvious needs that we have to address, the only problem is, I have no idea which of the needs is the most glaring. It's not like last year when we all knew we needed a QB because clausen was poo.

You can make an argument for any one of the positions you mentioned to be our first round pick, and someone could come in behind you and make an equally compelling argument for why you are wrong and how a different position is our #1 need. BPA out of any of those positions really seems like the best option at this point, to me at least.

I really doubt Trent Richardson is going top ten.

If we can't get Blackmon or Alshon, we should just go with BPA on defense. Which would be Morris Claiborne, Brandon Thompson, Dre Kirkpatrick, or Zack Brown. Leaving out Vontaze Burflict since he's a thug and DEs since we clearly don't need one. Not that there's any DEs worth taking that high besides Coples who will likely be gone.

why is no one talking about a corner with our 1st pick? gamble isn't gonna be a borderline good #1 for too much longer and we cant expect captain to be a #2 for his career. he may be one of the best nickel backs in the league, #2....no. (and yes, i do know what a good game he had last week). every mock draft so far has us taking a corner (claiborne from LSU most likely). and honestly, im ok with that pick

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
