What Are You Going To Be Upset About If We Draft A

Although maybe we're targeting a starting LG in R2. 

We could have a new legion of boom in Surtain-Jackson-Bouye-Burris-Chinn

And then a brand spanking new Leatherwood at LG.

Not "Legion of Boom" , but maybe a new Thieves Ave. If we get a CB (Surtain/Horn) in the 1st and a true FS (Grant/Holland) in the 2nd or 3rd (I don't think we should use Burris except maybe as a rotational piece). 

Remember there's a buzz about Grant in R2. If we go defense in R'a 1 and 2? Talk about pissing people off, Snow would love it, but Joe B. (and lots of fans), maybe not so much!

Without getting into far-reaching/impossible positions (ex: RB or STs) I am saying WR or CB at #8 I'm going to be pretty upset.  I'll be okay with CB in a trade back to get the correct value.  As loaded as the WR class is, we have WAY too many pressing needs...not to mention a decent WR corps already, to be taking a wideout in the first round, trade back or not.  I'm generally a BPA guy in the first round, but there are always exceptions to every rule.

Only thing I'd be "upset" about is anybody else picked if "Sewell, Pitts or Chase" are still available. 

Sewell: Tackles our Oline problem

Pitts: Tackles our redzone problem 

Chase: If you thought last year was good with DJ, Robbie and Samuel lol.  

At the same time, whoever picked is apart of the family so that bitterness would only last around 24 hours. Atleast until the 2nd round, where I'd have another chance to experience the same dissatisfaction again. 

Exactly how I feel!

I have always been upset with the picks later in the draft though. That's if I get upset.

Only positions I would be legit upset about is linebacker or rb. Maybe not upset but just wtf defeated. I wouldn’t even draft Parsons if we traded back.  

im fine with Horn at 8. Lots of smoke about him coming through the past week. I know a lot of people will hate it but I think it’ll prove to be a really wise decision down the road. 

fields trumps everything for me. If he’s there I take him over every prospect left even Sewell. If the rumors are true that Tepper is pushing fields that is conflicting for me. I think he’s right in this circumstance but owners that meddle in draft picks is NOT a good thing long term. And it creates a really bad environment for the coaches and management.

See i dont think Tepper is specifically pushing for Fields. However, he probably has made it clear the importance of getting a franchise QB if we believe one is there to be taken especially in the first round.

And if fields is there im sure he will push for him. Again I think we should draft him but I hope it’s a collective decision between Matt and fits and not just coming from Tepper. 
 

I really think Rhule has wanted to slow roll this process from day 1. Reports of rhule wanting to trade back and collect more picks last year and this year, the report about us having  fewer picks than team averages over the past 10 years. I just have a feeling he’s wanted to build this team up before doing something at the qb position if we haven’t found one in the process. 
 

I totally agree with the importance of a franchise qb and striking when the iron is hot. I just want Tepper to let Matt do his thing and see where the chips fall. He hired the guy to be a franchise builder. Let him see his plan out without interference.

I’ve said before I give rhule til 2023 to build a contender that includes a franchise qb. If we are treading water then he needs to go.

    • While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.    
    • Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
