I wonder if Chase Young, Clowney, Uche or maybe even Hunter/Arik Armstead are on the radar for us.

Also having an offense that can maul and run the ball and also score helps elevate the defense.

Would have been in for #39, but both 2nds is too much in an apparent deep WR draft class at that.

The line was trash....doesn't matter who the QB is now or in the future, can't have a trash oline. Sets everything back.

Build the wall! Love it

Nice, need all the help we can get at CB.

Pay Brown and Luvu now. Lets get these pieces in place to build around. If we can hold up injury wise there are some good players on this defense ay every level. Brown, Luvu, Woods, Bell, Horn, Burns, Shaq.

I liked him. Quick speedy guy. Also the only WR we had that showed some damn emotion. Guy was fired up when they put him out there. It also helps fill an ST slot, hopefully we can bring him back.

Boy that is sad. Feeling for his family and loved ones.

TE is a need. Tremble has potential but we need to shore up the position. Thomas is not versatile enough, just a pretty good blocker.

Honestly I am torn. Not down on Burns as some, I think he still can be a premium pass rusher. No one is will to give up 2 1st round picks for an average DE. However getting back into the 1st round if possible this year is enticing. I am leaning towards getting a deal done ( closer to the teams terms then Burns ) and then working on finding a DE to bookend him with but won't be upset either way. I will say, do not be surprised that be pops off once we trade him.

It's probably so they can put a final offer on the table and have ticking clock. Pressure can help negotiations, people can get hesitant, emotional, hung up etc... and don't have time to take a step back and think it through.

If he is an ego maniac, why oh why would he leak this? EXPLAIN IT TO ME. How a man with a ego so big he throws drinks in fans faces even though he is worth billions, he has literal brass balls on his desk, he brought his ex employers house and demolished it, would willing leak a story that says his employees are clowning him because he wife had it right on Stroud. Like give me some logic here not just " wait for Reich to say something ".

I got a question for you. Do you think David Tepper is an ego maniac? Egotistical? Full of himself?

So he paid Shefter to make him look bad/dumb? The same Tepper we claim is an ego maniac who can't help himself? Y'all are something else lol.

I mean Sean Payton says the same thing....your QB needs to do his part and make a couple of special plays a game. Canals even directly quoted this when talking about his philsophy. People are so obtuse. He is saying : Im going to design the offense to work for Bryce and I then need him to operate it without feeling like you HAVE to carry it and then trying to play hero ball.

Interesting note towards the end of that video. He says the offense didn't really click until mid season in Tampa. One of bigger reasons being that they were splitting reps all camp and only started truly crafting the offense to Bakers strengths once he clearly won the job. Hopefully being able to hit the ground running the Bryce and not waste and time/snaps with him will pay off.

People here love to pile on Bryce like every team but us knew he was going to bust ( Which I don't think he is BTW coaching, WR, Oline etc.. etc.. ) and didn't want him. If we took Stroud, Bryce was going #2. So....no matter how you spin it he was highly regarded and highly ranked. Posters here don't have some magic insight they seem to think. EVERYONE knew his size etc... and still had him up there on the board.

I mean he/they could be training right now.....they just don't make a deal out of it?

Heres a clip with Jordan Matthews on Bates Podcast talking about the hire and what it means to have a former player as a coach.

Right, he took a talented defense, It got more talented and still was worse. Then you have the offensive head coach having to step in to change defensive game plans. VS Seattle and the Bengals this year they had to change his game plan up. I think in Seattle it was him leaving Ward on one side of the field only. Seattle obviously saw it and kept giving Metcalf opportunities on the other side of the field. Shannahan had to step in and have Ward start shadowing Metcalf. Its the same poo we saw with Ron Rivera, Defenses just giving the game away with head scratching concepts ( as mentioned here Mike Evans or not giving Greenlaws back up more help with Kelce etc... ) Bend but don't break, vanilla 4 man rushes and 4th quarter defense that lets teams back into the game. Wilks got dealt a fair hand both here and in SF and didn't live up to it.

Wilks is overrated on this board. He is alright but his defenses sure seem to get exposed a lot and he can't seem to adjust at all.

Seems like he went through something, hopefully he found peace in his life.

I hope we can keep him. I think he will be even better with Shaq back beside him. I think he'll rush more.
