It's why im screaming Tmac with our 1st. 

Sorry, we've got to build the defense. Best edge rusher in the draft or if there's a Luke Kuechly clone MLB out there.

That was a great throw by Bryce but it’s also a tough catch to make with it dropped in over the shoulder in tight coverage.  

It’s not like he was out there playing like Debo Samuel was in the next game….who isn’t a rookie.

Drafting for need with a top 5 pick is dumb.

 

We have an entire draft to fix the defense. If Tmac is the best player on the board you take him.

I dont know - but that one yesterday that hit him right in the bread basket should count twice…

He made a couple of nice catches too. One on the 1st 3rd quarter possession that was near the ground, he scooped it. Another deeper one I think right before the half.

XL hops sometimes when he goes to catch it and lets the ball get into his body... he can clean those up in the offseason.  His blocking has been pretty good and he can run.  Like any other prospect he needs time and reps to develop.

I need Sheena to start tweeting that after practice there are now 2 people hitting the JUGS machine. Chuba and XL.

Wide receivers, even the great ones (and they are rare) can get real expensive, real quick and are involved in say 40-70% of a team's plays, based on that team's particular style of offense.

An edge rusher, DT or LB can very often be involved in 100% of the plays on defense. 

It's a much better, more cost effective pick to grab one of those defenders (who are easier to evaluate and plug into a system) than to spin out yet another pick on a wide receiver. We're fair to middling, maybe even good with receivers right now.

And ignoring a need in a draft might just be the dumbest way to work a draft. Really, just think about what you said.
