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

      Five wins this season.........maybe?

      I think the absolute ceiling is 5 with Bryce. I’m expecting 3. They will absolutely beat the Saints at least once, maybe twice.

      Ejiro evero likely to be fired Monday

      The offense made a turnover that resulted in a TD. You take that TD off the board and this would have been an entirely different game. I think Evero has the same problems that Canales has. I think they are both handcuffed to some degree due to a talent deficiency on their side of the ball. Canales doesn't have a QB capable of running his scheme. Evero doesn't have enough talent on his side to be effective in his scheme. Our highest paid d-lineman is a good run defender but contributes little to our pass rush. None of LBs would start on a contending team. Our current starting  safeties don't make impact plays. Only 2 of our 11 starters (Brown, Horn) have to be accounted for on each play. Some of this may still be their fault. It appears both have lobbied for players (via FA or the draft)who haven't contributed much. They seem hesitant to play their younger players or remain loyal to guys who just don't produce when they are on the field. As bad as this team is, you'd think they'd be dedicated to getting the young guys on the field as much as possible. Wasting #1 picks on Young and Legette and questionable selections on the defensive side of the ball has set this team back for years.

      I think we saw exactly who Bryce Young is on the final drive of the game.
