Verge, are you like me in that you see the possibility of a short trade back to get a top CB and then LT in second?  I could be off on a tangent, but I am thinking they might trade back even if Slater is on the board.  I think #1 CB is perhaps a bigger need than we are realizing, considering our 31st ranking "off the field on third down" ranking.  Just went off on a tangent, read some tea leaves, shook my magic 8 ball, and spent $20 on Psychics.com.  

There was also that mention about length showing up on tape at CB and at LT. That made me change my opinion as to who they may draft in the first. I'm now leaning towards it being a CB myself.

 

I have to disagree on fields though. I'd say no way. He may be the reason we can trade back for that CB you mentioned and get the best haul for it.

Great point.   We could be chasing the false bread crumbs they are dropping, but it makes sense.  At first, I was pissed about CB, but frankly there are 3 who could change our secondary a lot---right now.  And the LT draft is solid.  We could get Cosmi for example, and he was a mid first round pick in the past few drafts.

Somewhere I read about Surtain (I think it was Peter King on PFT):  "He does not get fooled by double moves...."  He is a press, can play zone, is tall, long arms..."

The double move comment got me, because you can leave him on an island, shade the S behind Jackson who has frequently bitten on double moves, and that S help allows him to play more aggressively.  They mentioned the job Hartsfield was doing at the end of the season during the presser--they just seemed really focused on the secondary.  I think THEY THINK they have addressed LT well enough to wait until round 2....

I read you analytics post and agreed with you. I really started thinking about that when I saw the predraft presser. And yes they may be bread crumbs, they are dropping a lot but at the same time there sounded like too much truth in it. We haven't had a shut down corner for even longer than we haven't had a great LT. Who was our last shut down corner? Have we ever had one? I honestly can't remember one. Surely we've had one and it's just been so long ago that the name escapes me.

I think ideally they want to trade back and go get Horn/Surtain, but if Sewell is there at 8 they will just take him. Don't overthink it.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      I'm being careful not to raise my expectations too much. Our offense could be to where we could score closer to 20 points than 10 like last season. Our defense is still really bad, however. I'm ultimately more about our team continuing to fight regardless of the long odds like with today.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not being mentioned much but just having Thielen back was a boost for Bryce, basically his original reliable go-to from his rookie season. As for David Moore being a major factor today, that's an odd one. My guess is a combination of Thielen being back drawing better matchups for everyone else and essentially doing all the stuff Coker would've done but better because he has much more experience in this system. Could've also been by design from Canales because Moore got ten targets today.
