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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
