Matt Rhule on Jaycee Horn - Why he is the best fit

[BuzzCity24]

Reading the game threads last year,  it was non stop our secondary sucks, more pass rush would help.   We can't stop anyone blahhhhh.  Which was true at times. 

We draft someone who overwhelmingly makes our secondary better which helps our pass rush. 

Great pick Rhule

Wrong, it was non-stop Bridgewater sucks, and 'we're going to win 5 games and be out of the quarterback picture'. They were dead on, and the 'steady hands' were so wrong that they hid 8 games into the season and only crawled out a few months into spring.

Going on record - I’m good with the pick. Do y’all remember how absolutely atrocious this defense was on third down last season? We could not get off the field. Corner one of the most important positions in the NFL today and we haven’t had a great one maybe ever. He’s got every physical trait and the dog in him to be a true #1 and a centerpiece on this defense with Burns, Brown and Chinn for a long time. 

[WOW!!]

Plain and simple.. While all this bitching is happening... Who was the bust player this coaching staff drafted last year?? 

Hmmmmmmmm

When you realize most of the players they drafted were contributors then maybe we can give the benefit of the doubt..

For the record I don't think this pick moves the needle, good, elite, whatever.

There's been too many teams with an elite CB 'trapped' on them. It's really a matter of chance if he turns out to be worth the 8th pick. Even if he somehow lives up to it, it may be another Christian situation where an elite player spends his days breaking records on a poorly built team with too much talent in the wrong positions.

So...we couldn't get a trade done.

I had the same thought---however, Dallas and Denver were in the market.  Big dropoff to Newman and the injured Farley.  I get it.

It's not about busting or not really. It's about where the talent is, and how to build a team. There's countless teams over the last decade that had everything, but the position that matters most.

I swear to almighty whatever.. These armchair GM'S are getting worse every year..

It's not even them being GMs they just want to seem smart and die on any hill instead of looking at the bigger fugin picture.

I'm stoked for Horn, one of my Favorite DBs in a looong time, but if we didn't draft him and, say, drafted Paraons I'd STILL retain the ability to see the bigger picture.

[MHS831]

what were our needs?
1. CB1 (best 2 in top 10 picks)

2. LT (CB1 not there in second)

3. WR (LT not there in third)

Only way the pick works is if Darnold plays well at qb and gets a 2nd contract with Carolina. 

[saX man]

Darnold vs. Fields will be watched closely.  This is a big gamble but no doubt solidifies our DBs.

People have opinions. Last off-season the 'armchair GM's' said Teddy wasn't it, and we were going to win 5 games and miss out of quarterback prospects.

Take a trip back in time and read the threads. Then maybe you want poo on everyone's opinion that doesn't align with you own (the front office's I mean).

I like the pick
