im not saying our DL is the best in  football or anything jsing i felt it was a bit of  astretch to call em the worst; burns, addison, short and poe seems like a decent front 4 to me. we have questions there but i think if we're looking DL we'd pick one up in round 3 or so

Think Addison is FA and given new coach and age, return is doubtful.

I would love Okudah.

well poo, still i think we could probably find a starting caliber DE in f/a if he leaves.

Men be, but Addison was pretty darn good value for production vs cost. Will be hard to beat that.

I realize the coaches know a lot more than me, but I’ll be pretty disappointed if Paradis gets the ok.

definitely will be, addison was very underrated across the NFL. one of the most consistent DEs in the league year in and year out. he'll probably be with the giants next year

We’re probably stuck with him for a year just based on cap number alone. If our entire roster wasn’t leaking, maybe we could bite the bullet, take the cap hit and move on, but I don’t see that being likely with him.

I have never been wrong before, but there is a first time for everything I suppose.

Great pick if you have an o-line that can block for more than 2 seconds

I will also accept Andrew Thomas but either way we not solving the Oline problems with one pick so you may as well pick the best player.

Normally I’m super inclined to agree with this approach. This particular offseason, I’m looking at it differently for a specific reason.

IF Cam is our qb next year, given his injury history and the paramount importance of franchise qb’s, I think any approach that doesn’t make upgrading his protection the most urgent priority would be a mistake.

If we move on from Cam, all bets are off and yeah it’s gonna take a few years so BPA all day. If Thomas and Wirfs are gone by 7, get BPA in 1st and do what you can to address o line in later rounds. But if Thomas or Wirfs are sitting there at 7 and we’re bringing Cam back, I think that’s gotta be the pick.

Just my two shekels.

That's a fair argument, all things considered. And if that Tackle from Georgia who's name I forget is worth it and he's in the board on 7, if we stick with Cam I'd be hard pressed to argue another pick. Maybe WR, Curt is still an unknown AND in a contract year, OT isn't our BIGGEST need on the line, and Jeudy and Lamb are both really damn good.)

If [...] Paradis come back healthy and stronger

This isn't a shot at you, and I hope he does, but I swear to fuging God we just got off this ride with Kalil

[ncfan]

Wirfs is a Rhule type pick

At a position of need at OT.  And said to be one of the biggest athletic Freaks to come out at his position in atleast 5 years.  Also a Dam good player.

So, we had Addison, McCoy, Burns and Poe for most of the year. Poe played 11 games so we were already about halfway through our 1-9 finish with him. How is Short coming off IR making that DL good enough? Addison is a FA as well and Short and Poe cost us $30M in 2020.

DL is just as big of a need. OL is not good but Little/Daley in year 2, Van Roten, a year healthier Paradis, Turner and Moton is just as good as Burns, Poe coming off IR like Paradis, Short coming off IR like Paradis and ?.

We aren’t set at DL at all. If Little/Daley can improve and Paradis come back healthy and stronger, we might just need some 2nd through 4th round interior help/starters. 

I think scheme and coaching had a lot to do with the defensive woes, particularly the defensive line. 

If you would have told me before the season that Bruce Irvin, Gerald McCoy, Dontari Poe, KK Short and Mario Addison (not to mention Burns and Miller in the draft) would have amounted to one of the worst Dlines in the NFL - I would have bet you my entire fricking house that couldn't happen.

The kid is a great talent who works extremely hard to be the best every day at his position. He has been on record since his freshman year of college stating he wants to be the best DB in America. He put in the work through the years to make it there as well. And he isn't just an ultra talented kid, he is a kid with great character by all accounts. If the draft falls out way its both a position of need and likely the best available player that also 100% fits the mold of what Rhule wants to establish here without question.

Until I saw that we were definitely going back to the 43 as our base I couldn't see anyone else but D brown at this pick, but if Bradberry goes this definitely could be it. I still think we keep Bradberry and role with D. Brown just because I think it's a lower bust rate and more important position then DB. This is only because D. Brown can play all the spots on the line and destroy run schemes, while keeping luke clean and sacking the qb. It comes down to me the question of wich player at our pick is the generational talent. Hopefully analytics helps this....

I am going to go look at Wirfs and see if he is any good.
