I picked CB, reason we only have one prove, in the modern passing era, you need 3 good corners, we have 1. and possible one in Hogan, even if Hogan turns out to be a beast, we still would need another one.....

Put I'm conflicted, I think the DE (i haven't felt like this until recently) is as just as important. The DT, even without Edwards (another unknown), has gotten better as Shirley, Kearse and Neblett took over, another year under those guys belt, a solid offseason of prep, I think we our okay at the DT,

CB, DE and LB BPA out of those 3, and Im okay with using our 1st pick on any of those positions draft day....

We're significantly better against the pass. Still not top 10 or anything, but better than our 31st (?) ranked rush defense.

I wouldn't go that far. We stunk at both and teams had no reason to throw on us when they could just hand it off and rack up yards. Because rushing the ball has less variables it's easier just to hand it off. I'm sure if they wanted to, they could have done more work against our secondary. We gave up the most yards be attempt in the air in the NFL.

64.9 CMP% (3rd worst in the league)

8.4 Y/P (Worst in the league)

98.3 QBR (3rd worst in the league)

39.0 1st Down % (5th worst in the league)

28 touchdowns (7th worst in the league)

We sucked at both. It was just less apparent with our pass defense because teams didn't pass against us often because our run defense sucked too.

    • I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.  
    • If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.
    • I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
