You’re wanting to draft like we’re going to be competitive this season or even next. 
 

If they have Amik ranked higher you take him and look to fill outside CB another time. 

I want to draft like you can develop players that can fit a role.. If you take a outside CB that needs development cool. . Taking a nickle CB this high over that is a move I need explain to me..

I get what you are saying but A) you expect Hurney to find that exception and B) isn't there other options that fill massive needs with better odds?

Look if we were a 12-4 team with a good roster then I wouldn't mind a swing for a homerun. Let's just get on base at this point. 

I've watched enough Hurney drafts to fully expect an absolutely mind boggling pick tonight.

Ok that I can agree with when you put it that way.

Diggs would be perfect for just that. A year or two of some growing pains but he could be special by the time we’re ready to compete again

The real question is do we draft the guy we're going to draft 2 rounds too high in the 2nd or the 3rd tonight?

I wish you were wrong but that is incontestable. 

On the dark side, it could be two of those tonight...

But 5'8 in the league of giants.. We don't have a big Cb on the roster either.. Is getting a nickle CB more important then a outside CB??

I think they are both important.  Honestly in today's NFL nickel is your base.

I'm just greedy, I would like to draft both.

Our D-Line has Short, Brown, and Burns.  It should be good without having to spend a high draft pick on a DE.  We can always add some cheap vets during preseason.

Give me Brown, Jaylen Johnson, and Amik Robertson and I think that is a good start on rebuilding this defense.  Add a project DE later in the draft, a LB, an interior O-Lineman, and possible a WR in no particular order and I'll be happy.  Also I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted a RB at some point.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
