Here's another way of looking at how we should address our needs through the draft. Just pretend we could trade our 1st 2 picks for any combo listed below. Seems most on here would want a DT,DE,CB,T with our first 2 picks so I'll throw up some different combos for you guys.

The names come from this years AP All Pro players

Justin Smith(pretend it's Suh if you want) Ngata

Revis and Jared Allen

Jared Allen and Ngata

Revis and Ngata

Joe Thomas and Revis

Joe Thomas and Jared Allen

Joe Thomas and Ngata

I did not do 2 corners or 2 defensive ends since we already Have Johnson and Gamble.

If you choose a combo without a DT then our starters will likely be Ron Edwards and Fua/Mcclain/Neblett.

If you choose a combo without CB, then Gamble and Munnerlyn likely start.

If you Choose a combo without DE, then Johnson and Hardy start again.

My vote and why: Revis and Allen

I think once we get back our injured players and Fua/Mcclain/Neblett have another offseason they should improve and be sufficient with a strong supportng cast.

Picking up Allen will provide an all around upgrade over Hardy. Remember when teams ran at Hardy they averaged 5.62 ypc. For comparison they averaged 4.53 ypc up the middle. He would also obviosuly be a better pass rusher.

Revis replacing Munnerlyn would be amazing. We all know Munnerlyn's deficiencies and Revis' strengths so no need to elaborate here.

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
