If one of the 2 LT is there at 8, you run to make that selection. If not, trade back, pick up picks and get Darisaw. We wasted a lot of talent by having a crappy OL. We are finally in a position to change that. You can find WR in round 3, like Agent 89. Star LT, not. Dont over think this

That’s where I stand.  While I would like to watch Pitts, Chase, Waddle but we have a highly paid RB that will be worthless unless we can block for him.   Get a LT and Darnold stays upright and CMC has holes to run through giving the team 3rd an manageable downs.  I don’t want to spend the season watching Darnold on 3rd and 9 running for his life like he has been.  
 

I know I will get slammed for this but the swing for the fence play is Fitterer thinking Little is gonna show up this year. (Yes I know there has been nothing to suggest that happens) If Little can take the starting role at LT  you have options of Eiflen or Erving at LG and they get a Pitts, Chase, Waddle this offense could be awesome.  But that is a huge gamble and not one I am comfortable with.  But would be doing back flips if it turns out that way.

If you're willing to take Pitts at #8 you should be willing to take a WR at #8.

Uh no. Those are not in the same seeing as one position is a strength and the other is a weakness. Chase is not the pick especially with Robby, Dj, Moore, etc, etc. TE on the other hand is a relative unknown and having a top tier prospect as a TE only opens up the playbook and helps Darnold (or whomever is the QB) to succeed. Chase would be a wasted pick in the relative short term. Tight End is lacking and if Pitts and Chase are there (all OT's gone), I hope this brass has some brain cells and makes the right call and choses Pitts and solidifies that position for a decade or more. 

 

That's the thing about this pick. We're in a prime spot to take the best available player that is also a need due to how the board shakes up. WR is not one of them tho.

I just want to put this out there before we RUSH to get a tackle not named Sewell. There is an OT from Alabama who is 6’6” with 34in wingspan who won the Outland trophy......projected in the second round.

And struggles with speed on the edge.

Yep. All of the 2nd tier tackles that will go in the late first early 2nd all of some significant cons to their game.  Whether it’s size strength injury speed etc they all have something.  Just take one of the top 2 and be done with it.  Let’s not get cute for once.  Draft a damn left tackle in the top ten.  Worked out pretty well the last time we did it.

Ok but the projection for Slater is that he’s small. He’s 6’3” with short arms. Not exactly franchise LT build. So if there’s another player there who is more elite....why reach for a guy who is actually closer Leatherwood than Sewell. That’s all I’m saying.

Yes or no question.   Could a 23 year old Jordan gross play left tackle in 2021?  It’s a simple yes or no.

Hear me out. I know we never invest in left tackles and this is a prime opportunity to do so, but if Kyle pitts and Penei Sewell are gone, would anyone really be MAD about picking Chase? By all accounts he's the best prospect we've seen since julio. 

Can you truly be mad taking Julio Jones at 8?

 

I think there were some better PROSPECTS since Julio. He was not as hyped as some prospects, and I think some of that had to do with the preconceived 'Julio can't catch' notion. Maybe none that played out, but...

This would give Darnold/Bridgewater a solid weapon.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By 7CLOWNS · Posted

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
