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.

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
