We are in trouble if we don't draft

[bobcat91]

a RB and TE that can start from day one, even if they don't have to.  Last year, Stewart was dinged up and the OL was injured and just plain bad.  The only offensive spark we had was Greg Olsen.  Now to 2017, if Stewart or Olsen is injured, we are in serious trouble.  CAP and Fozzy are not legit NFL starters and neither is Dickson.  If we are going to make moves in the draft, these are the main two positions we have to target because our offensive talent level really falls off behind these two.  We could survive any other area outside of more OL injuries or Cam.  I'm wanting Fournette/McCaffrey at RB and then Howard/Njoku/Kittle at TE.  These are pure need positions.  Everything else is BPA.

Funny, but when you hear DL and CBs getting mocked, and the others an afterthought, then you get the garbage offense we had last year.

Would that be the offense that led the NFL two years ago....with the same personnel

Our problem last year was OL.....plain and simple

We never had that kind of output before and not last year either.  We don't have playmakers on offense and that is the issue.  The cult of Gettleman is strong here, but what has he produced.  We thought we would get a TE and WR last year in the draft and we did not.  We drafted a TE as an afterthought and he didn't make the team.  What about WR.  KB had an excellent rookie season, was injured the next and was okay last year.  Funchess is a disappointment considering that we moved up to get him and Adams was a bust. Running backs under Gettleman have been a total disaster--CAP who is a JAG, Barner and Gaffney were bust picks as well.  Not any of his offensive selections have either been big contributors outside of KB, or even made the team.  That's why I have little faith Gettleman wont keep going defense when we are starved of talent on offense and his selections on offense have been mainly afterthoughts.

Yea but now we've got the problem of replacing Ginn. Don't forget he was the #1 receiver in 2015.

2TE sets and a RB to dump passes to would help that out a lot.

dont worry, we are drafting oj howard at 8. he gives us the most bang for the pick. totally overhauls the passing game and run game with his blocking ability and threat as a pass catcher. 

plus i dreamed we drafted him last night after coming down from mesculine. dave gettleman appread to me (as a spirit animal) and said we are getting some juice at 8.

So your concerns are based on a mock draft ??

draft can't get here fast enough

Yeah, cuz if we don't have starter level backups (even though our starters are currently healthy and will soon be winning) we're only one injury away from the shitter.

 

Question, which team could afford to lose a pro-bowl RB and an All-Pro future HOF TE?
