Most of the draftniks have us getting a WR. I know they've been doing this for the past 5 years. Only one has us taking a DT, which I believe it should be the pick. That D line needs to get younger Ron is 33 pushing 34 when the season starts again. No knock on Ron, he's great but he's not a starter anymore. He's the 3rd down guy or 2nd down guy to come in and give the young buck a breather now. Just to be consistent in the line.

Any of the DT's in this years draft are suitable candidates. Our position in this draft is good for a DT.

How many of those DT's play the nose or 1-tech?

That's where we have the need.

Hankins from Ohio State does. Actually I think he plays all the techs if I'm not mistaken. The kid from Mizzou, Richardson, is more of an UT not a NT.

Star is out of our reach but he'd be another. There's Jenkins from Georgia. he's another good NT. I think he may rise up there too. We have options at the NT position.

the pick will more than likely be on offense, but make no mistake, it will be BPA between several areas of need. that just happens to be just WR and OL so it's pretty much a toss up between the two, tho i wouldn't be shocked to see us go NT, UT, CB, or S either.

i wouldn't put much stock into "hints" that you may have heard dropped from gettleman and rivera (i think there wasn't any dropped at all, tbh) because gettleman hadnt even looked at the roster and i doubt hes done much in the way of looking closely enough at draft prospects or potential FAs to know who can fit what we do.

I'd rather wait for a DB till the later rounds... I'd take Xavier Rhodes in the second if there wasn't any top O-Line or D-Linemen there.

A lot of rising and falling to be done by prospects between now and draft day. I'd prefer WR, DT, or OL in the 1st, but if a DB is the clear BPA, then I say take him.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
