If we pass on DT in rounds 1 and 2 are we destined for failure on defense?

Not necessarily failure. I argue that there is not one dt that will significantly standout above what we have now. By mid season a couple of these guys will probably blossom but they could also have growing pains. Brockers has huge upside (apparently) but he will not be a world beater day one. Jury is still out on Poe and Still but I think Edwards would be a competent alternative.

Didn't u just post a much much longer thread saying the exact damned thing? This is why I refrain from signing in during the offseason, but for you I made an exception!

yes i did, but I specifically wanted to hear from Catsgrowl, P55,FIZ, Raging Bull and Killer Kat and anyone else who staunchly supports DT in the first 2 rounds. They may not go back to that thread. Just want to give them every opportunity to see and answer the question.

i would have no problems with that. i just dont see how a LB (4-3 LB)that does not go after the QB gets taken in the top 10 as bpa. no matter what scheme you run on defense it all starts up front with the DL.

he did what was asked him....and was the best LB in football.

he has the skill set where he can do whatever is needed. Upfront in this scheme and pressure means front 7, not front 4.

Well with just that knowledge this is a stupid question. Without knowing who the CB and DE are, how well and quickly they pick up the scheme and adjust to the NFL, whether they start or are situational, whether Beason and Davis come back, etc. there is no way to even have a good guess to answer the question.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
