We've always heard using FA to set up the draft

I didn't like much from Day Two and I didn't feel like we effectively addressed the issues with the OL. Those were my biggest criticisms overall. I am a little nervous about passing on Slater and Fields at 8, but I have warmed up a lot to that pick overall. 

Outside Horn, I feel like we probably got more depth guys than starters from this draft. That makes me less excited but our roster depth was abysmal last season, so every bit helps.

I think we got 3 guys that will start this year (Horn Marshall and Christiansen).  I think Taylor Nixon and the two guards will eventually start (probably next year). Shi could start next year if we let Anderson walk. Tremble is a starter anytime we run a play with a Fb or h- back. And I don’t want to reignite the whole ‘is a long snapper a starter?’ So I’ll just say Fletcher will be our starting long snapper. That is an efficient draft.

If we get as many starters as that, then it was a great draft. I don't see that happening, however.

My guess is that most of this draft will play significant minutes this season.

 

Starters:

  • CB Jaycee Horn is a day 1 starter.
  • WR Terrace Marshall and DT Daviyon Nixon will be in heavy rotation immediately
  • OL Brady Christensen will be the starting LT or LG by the middle of the season  
  • LS Thomas Fletcher

 

Backups who play often:

  • TE Tommy Tremble
  • RB Chuba Hubbard 

 

Significant minutes in packages: 

  • OG Deonte Brown in short yardage / goal line
  • WR Shi Smith on special teams and as an occasional slot receiver

I'm still baffled how Hurney said will Grier was the highest rated qb on their board and the guy has not ever thrown a td kn an nfl game. Or moving up ten spots to draft little while giving up a third rounder because he was left tackle material and now he will he lucky to make the team as a guard. Smh

I am interested in finding out how many of these drafted guys will make the roster. If most all do then it was an awesome strategy. If many don't then it was more of a mixed bag.

Probably 2/3's will make it out of necessity.  This team is not very deep or loaded at a lot of starting positions.  I'm not sure we are in a position yet to just waste picks we went to a lot of trouble to collect.

Drafts like this one and last year pave the way for letting solid players walk in free agency.  Our top 3 picks play some of the most expensive positions to fill and all could see significant PT in their rookie year.  As a result, I could see Anderson and Jackson having solid years and moving on next year for big contracts - scoring us a couple of 3rd round comp picks while having decent replacements ready.  Try to stay young, hungry, and fiscally smart.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.

      i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
