So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

How you figure corner? It's DT and LB/RT/WR. Definitely DT. We have 4 more than capable corners. You lost your damn mind.

You do NOT take a DT high in this draft for two reasons.

1. We don't need another rookie DT. We have two young guys that are getting better. And, any DT not name Suh usually takes a couple of years to come into their own. Does NOT help the team.

2. There is not a DT worthy of a top 5 pick that I have seen so far this season.

Alshon Jeffrey (2010, 14 games) - 88 catches, 1517 yards, 108..4 ypg, 17.2 ypc, 9 TDs

Alshon Jeffrey (2011, 10 games) - 38 catches, 504 yards, 50.4 ypg, 13.3 ypc, 5 TDs

Calvin Johnson had 48 catches 837 yards 7 TDs

then 54 catches 888 yards 6 TDs

In two of his seasons as well, you have to look at the QB and the piss poor offense they have been playing as a team.

Imagine Jefferey on OKST or OU etc...

He will be a first round pick and be productive in the NFL.

Draft Kalil or best defensive player available. Skill position players on offense will want to play with cam and can thus be gotten in free agency. I like Blackmon and Jeffery as much as anyone, but I think our offensive issues can be addressed elsewhere.

I agree but I am not completley sold on Quinten Couples with a top 10 pick. Zack Brown is faster than most wrs and rbs in the top 10 and seems to be a playmaker but if we can only win one game that may be a bit high for a OLB.The other defensive option is Claborne and Kirpatrick at cb.I think with this draft Kalil is the best option.

The last time we needed help at linebacker and along the offensive line we traded down and got Jon Beason and Ryan Kalil, and got Charles Johnson to top it all off. Let's do that again.

i know i've been against it recently, but trading down this year might be our best option this year if we can find someone in the 15-25 range that wants to play ball

there are simply too many holes to fill and not enough money to work with in FA.

also 2007's draft = a good example of how you build through the draft.

If we end up with #2/3 pick, we might be able to trade down and get the Stanford LT instead of Kalil while picking up an extra picks

If we trade down, we probably won't get either Kalil or Martin, because both will probably be gone within the first five picks.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
