Barkley staying at USC

My guess is Kalil will not make it past the Vikings unless they end up drafting 1st and Claiborne will be drafted by Tampa.I see us getting Reiff or Martin.I just do not see a DL,LB,or cb worthy of a top 10 pick.To me a OT will have an imediate impact by improving our running game and giving added prtection to our franchise qb.

I agree if Claiborne isn't available when we pick there's not a DL or CB worth top 10 definitely. I'm warming slightly to the idea of one of the top LBs at or below 10, but I still would feel hesitant about it. Inside I'd REALLY hate to pick an OT in the draft that Kalil's brother comes out and it not be him, but I know it would take a perfect storm for that to work out for us anyway (or a probably ridiculous trade). If Claiborne, Kalil and Blackmon are all off the board, Reiff or Martin could very well be the best value for us.

If Reiff and Martin are the best value for us, I would def be looking to trade down 7-8 spots to take a LB and pick up an additional 2nd round pick. We could really use the ammunition.

    • I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing. 
    • Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.
    • Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
