The lack of DL for the 3-4 alignment concerns me. Don't think we'd cut Cox, Obada, Haynes because we need 4-3 DEs. Only thing I could think of is carrying 4 CBs (we've done it before) or 3 OL (which would suck). Not sure how we'd fix this problem.

Addressed their top three needs? How could he think that the secondary (specifically safety) is not a top need? I seriously do not understand the mindset of our management sometimes. Its almost as if everyone else can see the deficiency's but they can't.

Oh yeah! We need a fuging returner!

Not to mention FS -_-

[KillerKat]

All these holes and we used a draft pick on a fuging backup QB lolll

That dude had a lot of personal issues in college.  But, hell, considering the issues the RB we just picked had, welcome to the party, I guess.

Yeh we picked a scrub running back that got suspended for a year for credit card fraud,.. don’t know how you draft a real thief like that. Oh well.

your 3-4 DEs need to be big. They're basically 4-3 DTs. Cox is not a DT. He is 4-3 DE.

He is about 270--thought they might add 10-15--not sure he can handle it thought.  Cox may not have a place.

I guess a project for Norv was a “top 3” need to keep Norv around.

We can't cut those guys like Cox, Obada, Haynes though. Cause then we would be lacking 4-3 DEs.

Hate this coverage. Showing the picks at the bottom of the screen, but talking about other stuff on the main screen. Yeah, I know we're getting into the late rounds. Oh well.

Marty needs to explain his BPA concept again.

Gif— Princess Bride— you keep saying this word but I don’t think you know what it means.

So many holes and we used 2 picks on a backup QB and a iffy backup RB. And people still wonder why some still don't like Hurney lol.

13 picks left. Please let it be Kelvin Harmon or Gerald Willis.

I think the hybrid thing has left the building. Full 3-4 base
