Draft position will be markedly better than last year.

[top dawg]

Not a good point lol. Latimore fug ed his knee up twice. Gurley tore his acl (non contact ) and walked off the field own his own. The man is a beast

 

Do you think that Gettleman is going to draft Gurley in the second round coming off an ACL injury? I don't.

[UNCrules2187]

I'd draft Cooper if available.

I'd fix my oline in free agency by spending some money on the tackle position. I don't think one offseason is gonna be enough to fix the oline, but it would be a start.

I would draft a safety in round two

Oline depth in rounds three and four.

 

lol here are the top 3 free agent LTs:

Yeah, we gotta draft a LT with our top 5 pick, sorry.

[stirs]

Do we do draft stuff in here or the draft section?

 

didn't know when the mods flip the switch

[tiger7_88]

How big is Cooper? Does he have good hands, and can he run the full route tree?

Cooper is 6-1 or 6-2, around 210 lbs, and he's a goddam BEAST.

[tiger7_88]

Good point but I think Latimore tore everything in his knee where Gurley just tore his ACL

Lattimore also messed up his knee TWICE.

I don't see it happening.  The tackles this year aren't looking nearly as good as last.  Best bet it, if there's a "blue goose" tackle, let them play RT, with the hope they can go left after a couple of years.  I know Atl's pass rush isn't very good, but Bell does a crap ton better with a competent LG beside him(see Norwell).  I noticed most games that Silatolu is in, Bell actually does a lot of babysitting, causing him to fall even shorter.

If King Dunlap or Bryan Bulaga hit the open market, we could sign them and draft Cooper.  Then we could sign Flowers early in the second if he falls that far.  There will be options come this off season, that is if Gettleman has added a few IQ points this past season.

By the way, I might be one of the few, I wouldn't complain if we took Melvin Gordon top five.  Not only is he strong but is lean.  Guy looks like a bigger version of Bruce Lee.  He can also catch the ball out of the backfield.  To me, he is much an offensive weapon as Amari Cooper.  Both will need a good offensive line.  Yet with Gordon, you'll be looking at 8 guys in the box on every play.

Best option may end up being able to trade back if we have a top 5 pick.  Maybe the Browns will want to move up to our spot as they have an extra pick in the 1st.  If we were able to do that and then parley the later of the 1st round picks for the Raiders two high 2nd round picks.  We'd end up with 1 mid round 1st and 3 high 2nd rounds.  would go a long way toward covering multiple positions.  I can dream, right?

i don't think 11 in the box would have helped Nebraska against this kid.just an amazing game with 408 yds in only three quarters.wow.

i don't expect Reggie McKenzie to be a suitor for taken any wooden nickles in the draft.he just had one of the most impressive drafts of all GMs in 2014.

[updownsigma]

Watch us draft like

 

1st - Guard

2nd - LB

3rd - DE

4th - DT

5th - backup QB

6th - wouldn't be a panthers draft without a random RB pick late

7th - Tackle other position of need whom we inevitably cut before the season starts

[Newtcase]

Yes, let's draft Cooper and make the mistake of ignoring the offensive line like the Falcons did when they drafted Julio. What good is a star WR if you don't have enough time to get the ball to him?

 

The Falcons are in 1st place NFCS, haven't you heard?
