PFF grades from yesterday

Two totally different grading systems.  One is stat driven and one is eye test.

People want to call one right or wrong over the other, but you have to understand how they are determined and look at the results in that context.

 

I recognize they are two different grading systems, but where they diverge and where they line up is fascinating to me. This is one such case, where PFF has Bryce at "backup level" and QBR says that a team should win 85%+ of the time with his performance. Just interesting to see that.

Decidedly not serious. Frazier might be the most popular non- Panther next to CJ Stroud. Alas, the allure of the latter is waning.

The problem is I'm not sure how we do that this offseason

I don't want any cap room spent on offense, every available dollar needs to go into upgrading the defense with vets who can step in from day 1 and contribute.  Any offensive free agents should be super cheap, such as backup OL or something, not starter money.

Also, if we're lucky enough to draft T-Mac with our 1st, it also means we're likely going to need to use the rest of our draft picks on defense as well, at the very minimum, our 2nd rounder would need to be defense.

So really 3rd round pick is our best chance at finding a center this offseason, beyond that, not sure we have much of options unless we sacrifice defensive spending, but after spending so much in FA last year on the OL, not sure it makes enough sense to do it again.

Yeah.  You can't be really good at every position, and Cade seems to be improving every week. I think his PFF grade is in the 60s--Let Raym and Cade compete--and focus on your top 4 weaknesses (IMO--WR, DT, Edge, ILB)

Every team has a weak spot here and there.  The challenge is hiding that weakness as best as possible.  Playing between Lewis and Hunt is pretty hidden.  Again, Cade has been improving each week.  I am OK with him at C--not ideal, but he is OK.

Exactly

I'd love to draft a Center in say the 3rd round, which is where you can find rookie starting Centers a lot of times.

But if we go T-Mac in the 1st like I hope, even if we spend all our cap room on defense, it's only going to fill so many holes and I think using both our 2nd and 3rd rounders on defense there would make more sense than using one on a Center at the moment.  

If the right one falls to the 4th, I'm not against that either, but not sure if we're going to get a rookie starter at that point, and if we're not, I'd rather use that on a fast twitch slot WR or go for a DB or ILB at that point in the draft (after hopefully using the 2nd and 3rd to get pass rushers and/or another DT who is good against the run).

Also wouldn't be against packaging up multiple 4-6 round picks if it can get us another 3rd rounder if we see a Center there that we like.  We might not have any 6ths right now, but with a 4th, three 5ths, and three 7ths, we probably have the ammo to get another 3rd if there is someone we want.
