Is Corner our second biggest need behind QB?

Horn pretty clearly our most valuable defensive player. We may have taken him for granted all year long. With his history of injuries - is corner now the second biggest need on this roster? Absolutely pathetic showing from Henderson and Keith Taylor today. Makes me sick to my stomach but if QB is off the board when we are drafting and we do not move up - does corner become our primary need? We have invested so much in the secondary in recent years and have nothing to show for it outside of Jaycee Horn.

I think you have to keep reloading in the secondary given this is a passing league. The same as with QB. You keep bringing guys in until you have a strong secondary. Injuries require you have lots of corners who can play meaningful minutes.  The reason we missed Horn was because Jackson was on IR. Otherwise corner was considered a strength for us. Taylor is like our 5th or 6th corner who playeddue to injury. He looked lost out there.

QB, DE, CB, WR, TE, LB

Those are our top 6 IMO.

QB is clearly #1, the order of the rest will probably depend heavily on the preferred schemes of the next staff. I'd favor WR and TE to support the new QB.

I'm going to move wide receiver to the end of that list. DJ is great, and I think Marshall is coming into his own. Shi it's pretty good and Shenault is a gadget guy. We could definitely use a couple of upgrades, but I don't think it says needy as the other positions you named

Our biggest need at CB is the need for them to stay healthy for the healthy.

Donte & Horn are enough to win with. CJ and Taylor Jr are #3/4 at best.

Our biggest need on D is probably DE. Improving the pressure improves every other position. L 

Burns is damn good..he's a force just not a constant force. He disappears at times. DT beside Brown is also a need. 

Depends on the staff we hire. Are we a 4-3 or a 3-4 mainly?. They might not keep Chinn at safety. 

Sidenote: I think Shaq will be a cap casualty.... Which makes MLB a need. 

Then you have the QB problem to deal with. Also the RB position unless your running with Chubba as the #1. 

Also have to address either the WR or TE position.... Restructure that contract Ian should have never received. 

Dunno where we stand with the cap situation in realtime but last I checked it was -3 million.

We lost 5 times on 1 trade. Lost by signing Henderson... adding his contract to the books...losing our draft pick...losing our best receiving TE since Olsen...which probably created a future lane to offering Thomas that ridiculous contract. 

Then you have today. We are obviously still losing from that one move.

I think a good TE will also open things up for those guys a lot.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
