Offense struggling, let's draft more defense

People in this forum really want to draft more defensive players? Really? Are we the Carolina Jets?

 

What are Adams, Barnettt, Garrett going to do? Will they help Cam develop? catch passes? block for Cam?

 

This organization and its fanbase has lost touch with today's NFL.

I feel defensive players tend to have a more immediate impact.   When you are picking in the top 10, you want someone who makes an immediate difference. 

 

I am not condoning this,  just explaining the mindset. 

I disagree

Vernon Butler vs Hunter Henry (Decker)

And before anyone uses Shula as scapegoat just know he will most likely be here next season. So you either give him some help or expect the same.

 

Why in gods name does Rivera need more defensive players anyways? He should be able to develop late round picks

it's hard to argue for a 1st round OT this year. there are like 2 guys and one is likely not going to be on our board. maybe i'm wrong, but i feel like it'd be a failure to draft a RB top-10. same for a WR.

the best players in this draft are defense.

I'd rather take OT, TE, RB in rounds 2-3.

to be completely honest, i think we're screwed at LT again next year. we have Oher, but there are no good FAs, there is not much at the top of the draft, and I don't know about us trading for one-- maybe that's our best hope (to get Joe Thomas or Staley for a 3rd rounder).

i get that there are 2 RBs who are supposedly elite, but man, i remember this board during the late hurney years complaining about our investment in the RB position. i just think such a high pick for an RB without an o-line is a waste. we can get a young talented guy in round 2 and hopefully work on improving the o-line.

for me, the only offensive player worth drafting round 1 would be an OT. there are none.

Wrong. A rookie stud will have impact no matter the position.

You know we have multiple picks...we can't let D fall...I don't see a first round ot ...so why not bolster pass rush...

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
