Not with taking a DT over a DE.

Javon Hargrove could be a cap casualty in San Fran. Trade for him and select T Mac or Burden depending on where we land in draft order. 
 

Or figure out a way to trade for Hargrave & sign Higgins. Then we can select Travis Hunter or the best EDGE rusher with our first pick and make a playoff run in 2025. 

I'd rather Milton Williams in FA than Hargrave

What DE would you take?

at pick 5 we could easily get the #1 CB, WR, or DE  

This is projecting to be a very weak DE/Edge draft. Not sure there are any truly elite guys.

People forgetting Derrick Brown is on IR? We need pass rush on the edge for next year.

Mason Graham is the perfect fit. Dude plays angry and would bring more “dawg” to this team. For those saying we don’t need him bc we have Brown, do y’all not remember teams still gashing us up the middle before Brown got hurt? You’d have to double team one of them but couldn’t do both. I get we need edge rushers too but if u are taking BPA, it’d be so hard to pass up on a guy who we know would instantly upgrade this line considerably. Last night when it was looking like we were about to win, I was thinking we’d need a gas mask leak on draft night for him to fall to us. Looks like he’s still within reach!

If youre drafting in a top 10 and already have an elite run stuffer, i dont think you want another run stuffer in then top 10. You can get plenty of them in R2-R4. 

This.. didn't the Titans get sweat like in the second round? Guy is one of the best in the league. Hunter is the grand prize of this draft after that edge

I disagree. Edge is one of the strong points of this draft. Abdul Carter the guy from Georgia, Pierce, this edge group I think is better than last years

This team is going nowhere until it can stop the run with any sort of consistency. Sick and tired of getting gashed every single week. Graham next to Brown could be an elite duo for years to come in the middle of our defense. I hear the argument for Hunter or Tet loud and clear, but the run defense is the single biggest hindrance to success for this team right now. 

I get your logic and appreciate the level of frustration behind this post--next season, we will have Brown back. That makes everyone on the DL better.    In my view, A'shawn Robinson and Shy Tutttle have underperformed their contracts and one will be released if not both.  Both will be 30 in 2025.  Cutting them saves us about $13m--and I am not sure we can replace them for that.  I think we need a big, 350 lb run stuffer inside.  

If you are drafting early and you need a QB, you almost half to take a QB.  If you need an Edge, you have to take the edge.  While I love the player you mention, I think we get an upgrade vs. the run when we get Brown back.  I also think you draft a DT in round 2 or 3. 

Depending, of course, on what we do in free agency.  Last year, Evero got screwed when all efforts went into the offense.  I was not a huge fan of the Legette pick, but give him time.  I think we got the best RB and second best TE along with a very good (potentially) WR--that is not bad.  This year, we need to address the defense and find a stud WR and mid round QB to develop.

It’s going to be a great draft to trade down. They’ll need a lot of players on defense. They could draft literally any position on defense in the first round and they’d walk into a starting position.

There is an edge from Mississippi that I like, and the big guy from Tex AM (Scourton) has an unreal spin move.  I think we need to draft one in the first round (maybe to his point) because they will be gone by pick 50 or so.  If there is an elite WR sitting there in the first round, depending on what we did in free agency, that could get interesting.

I sorta think the WR group is down, but my favorite in round 2 or so is that WR from Stanford.  A dark horse.

I am all about this. Weak DE/Edge draft. 

 

Pair Mason Graham with Derrick Brown. Need a CB2, and we are cooking with peanut oil. 

Some of the young edge pieces we have are playing well since getting healthy. 

 

I wouldn't hate a WR, but I think the next step for this team is improving on Defense.
