We Have No Pass-Rush Or Secondary

[FirstRoundPick]

Majority of this board wanted Johnson gone when he couldn't beat out Brayton in 2008. Anderson seemed to be on the Huddle chopping block from his first season when he didn't step in and replace Spoon right off the bat.

With that said not all pan out. Some are given time and just never take that next step. But you can't give up after one year if they are progressing and working hard on and off the field.

I guess we see things differently. 2008 Brayton played well so noone cared, but noone wanted Johnson gone, not really. 2009 Majority of board wanted him to start over Brayton.

the amount of diaper poopers popping up in this thread is unreal

Tell me about about it. Those whiners don't understand the difference between our Dline and the Gaints is just a little experience.

na .. we drafted Cam cause we needed a QB .. wouldn't have happened if we had a decent QB

so I would argue we DID draft based on need

Completely agree. Some people over think things. This playing it safe crap is sickening. You cannot win a super bowl going bpa every single pick. You end up with 3 first round rbs 2 first round qbs and so on. When do you address the problems with your team???

It doesn't surprise me we went with the positions we did...they aren't going to draft over McClain, Fua, and Hogan when theyve had one season (or less in Hogans case) to evaluate them. The position Im surprised we didn't address is pass rusher. We didn't draft anyone for that skill last year and we sucked in that area with only one guy who was any good at pressuring the QB. Now it seems like all of those players who coil be decent pass rushers are gone so we are screwed in that area. But Hogan could be the answer at CB and the two young DTs could still improve enough to rotate in with Edwards.

Dont worry guys fua and mcclain will turn out better than cox and brockers. I promise!

Hope for need in the 4th.

Naw its only 3 first round LBers, and first round 2 RB's. I hear D-Will is getting a little old. We may need to replace him soon.

I can see why this looks like overeaction to you. I've been on the other side I know. We are talking about the last seven years of first round picks. In a vacuum each pick doesn't look bad but together you are gimping the team by not building more important areas like pass rushers, and corners, while tying up premium resources like first round picks on negilble positions while tying up a lot of money in those postions also. It is stupid to build the team that way. Elite QB, Elite Pass rush wins.

Don't feed the troll, she might go into diabetic shock

[carolina-chuck]

You have the balls to put Captain on a that list and call somebody else stupid? REALLY!!!

Wow!! You again

[DeeJay]

All the picks this year will probably be starters.

[The Huddler]

Those people who talk poo about who we draft are morons. Rivera isn't stupid, he's put together great defensive squads in the past with barely any talent! now that the man has the opportunity to fabricate an entire team, let the man do what he does best. If yall really want to draft a Darius Butler 2.0 in the 2nd round then be my guest and go play madden. We already have a Darius butler who has the skills to be good under Rivera

Those that are adept enough see that our defense isn't in that bad of shape
