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

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
