I have been doing a bunch of mock drafts and this one interesting scenario popped up that made me question myself. I know our needs edge, mike, OT,wr, and secondary. This situation Love fell to 19 and I know we don't NEED a RB. But if we stay out at 19(I don't think we do) I don't think I could say no to love. If this team really believes in BPA and love is there at 19 who realistic is better than love at this point? Love is a top 5 talent, there is no akeem messador or Caleb banks or Kenyon Sadiq type player I think I would rather have than love. He would make Bryce life much easier, he's a homerun threat on a offense that lacks speed. He's essentially modern day Reggie bush to me and I think he could play alongside Chubba on passing down potentially as a slot and be the speed threat we really need. I think it's a bit crazy but I would be willing to wait til the second round and see who falls at edge(I think we land Chubb or loyd in free agency) maybe chase TJ parker if he falls or Rodriguez or golliday in the second/third. What say you?

I'm not saying most rookies get pass rushers even first rounders are 10 sacks guys. I am fine with scourton I think he's a solid player. He does have 10 sack potential.

You named one guy out of hundreds every year. Yes sacks aren't the end all be all but they are field flippers and they end drives. When you need the ball back sacks are critical in getting off the field on 3rd down. You simply don't see many elite pass rushers that aren't first round picks. Look at the best sack artist in the league from to recent 90% of them are first rounders. The guys that are good at getting after the quarterback are identified Early.

Not denying that's a possibility but this sounds like he's the only available black coach in the league and under minds the improvements made on defense this past season.

Just curious.. what pass rushers taken in the 4th round here recently puts up 10 sacks a game? Because that's what we need. Can you get a body before the 4th round sure.. but a impact player at edge before round 1 is rare. Scourton for what ever you think he was getting 5 sacks is soild.. it's not elite.. and another 5 sack guy wouldn't give us what we needed. We need a day 1 impact guy. James pierce 10 sacks as a rookie at the end of the first round we need that. We don't need another princely project type player we need impact. Impact isn't not to be had after the 1/2 round at the pass rush position.

Pass rushers absolutely can't be found in any round. That's the reason we don't have one.. out side QB pass rushers is the second most important position.

It's a foregone conclusion he will miss 6-12 months. That leaves a significant hole at the position but not long term. A lot of reporters are penciling us in for a tackle at 19, which I don't think is a bad idea at worst you can slide him to right tackle seeing as moton is getting up there in age. But I don't think that does anything to get us over the hump. If we draft a tackle at 19, does that make us better than we are vs the rams? Does that give us better pass rush or more play makers? I think you can draft a tackle down the line sure just to fill in for a while until ickey is back but I wouldn't invest a first round pick in a position just because a guy might miss a month at most of football or so. I would resign josh, brady chris and address holes we have no answers 2. If you want to take a tackle or lineman after the 3rd round a project go for it.. but the holes at linebacker edge and a play making tight end and deep threat are the reason we are at home now. Not the back up left tackle who played decently. What say you?

I think a guy who went what 2-7, 2-8 down the stretch has shown more stagnation and less upside than a guy who Atlanta down the stretch showed promise and upside.

This

My bad again I was sure he was fired as well for that horrible down the stretch record. Him and Arron glenn for sure should have been fired. More so than raheem morris.

My bad on Glen I thought it was a foregone conclusion he would be fired for the jets season last year. And no team doesn't need a black defensive coordinator. Vance JosephTodd Bowles, Raheem Morris, Leslie Frazier, and recently, Patrick Graham Raiders and Brian Floresare also available

Plenty other black coaches available to fill "the rooney" rule.. raheem morris for sure, wilks Arron glen.. evero isn't sorry.

Agreed 1000% you aren't even in the playoffs with the defense which over achieved this year with a undermanned staff..

Clearly the rest of the league knows more about good coaching than the average fan
