seriously you guys sound like a bunch of fuging size queens

I'll be thrilled that we addressed one of our many glaring holes with a stud player, instead of some potential.

then I will sit back, crack a beer, and enjoy my draft day as we would have likely chosen a stud defensive prospect.

I don't want a repeat of last years draft where some of the picks made me cringe.

If we trade down because we have Carson then draft AJ then draft a stud DT in the 2nd.

< Draft boner

I think CJ will be great from here on out, and if we can get a stud DT that will only help him. But I think second city panther is right, A few more year's like 2010 and then we can start to see how CJ look's. He'll be fine, we still need that DT to cause havoc on the line to help CJ and all our DE's.

No brain fart. I agree with the offensive woes, but we all probably agree that we desperately need 2 DTs, a CB, and possibly a DE. On offense, we just need to mature--and possibly a QB in the draft. I even think RG is covered, but I could be wrong. While our defense and punting teams were on the field way more than the offense, we did well. I agree. We have good rotational depth DTs, but RIvera is about being the best on D. I don't see our offense being the best regardess of who we draft. But a stud CB and a stud DT in the draft and free agency, we are a force on that side of the ball.

FWIW, Brown improved last year, and will probably continue to get better. Give him a stud DT to play next to, and I bet he gets better still. This guy really didn't do his homework before making his list.

I would totally trade the #1 pick to the Bengals for Palmer, their 1st and 2nd.

Then you could still get a good stud defensive player with the #4 pick... and then get a good player with the #2.

Marvin is a stud. His strength and speed will command two blockers at least 50% of the time. He really knows how to alternate use of these two aspects of his game to keep 'em guessing and he excels at both.

There are a lot of "if's" in your argument. Why gamble on signing free agents who may or may not be affordable and may or may not want to play here when we could pick up a stud DT at #1?

Time for a uniform design thread!

Something with pleats like the Hornets' "costumes" back in year 1. We already have the shoulder padding, but wouldn't long sleeves that are rolled up to the elbow scream, "Look out NFL, here comes trouble!"?

    • There wasn't a moment of the day that I couldn't at least hear helicopters.
    • Spoken like someone who hasn't watched nearly enough of T-Mac other than a few short highlight clips to know his game. The only thing he doesn't have is the short area quickness in the way that you're looking for, as you seem to want that Jefferson/Chase type of WR, which sure, he's not that. But him and XL are nothing alike, let alone having the same strengths and weaknesses.  In particular, T-Mac's #1 strength is LITERALLY XL's #1 weakness, their hands.  T-Mac has vice grips for hands, catches darn near everything, and does it all with hands catches, the opposite of XL.   Beyond that, you mention prioritizing route running, of which, T-Mac already runs a complete NFL route tree at a high level.  Yes, he needs to work on his get off the line at the snap and get a little crisper on some of his cuts to create separation, but again, all players need to work on something, that's just what his is.  It doesn't change that he is already a great route runner, there are just some small elements of it that he can improve on. Even then, it's like I've been saying, the trade off of not having that true elite separation like the smaller WR's get, is how good he is at using his body to keep the DB's from being able to break up passes and just making contested catches in general.  You lose a little bit of separation, but his 6'5" body gives him advantages that the smaller WRs just don't have. Again, your post here insinuates that T-Mac is a slow, plodding big WR who isn't a proficient route runner, which couldn't be further from the truth.  I have no issue with people wanting other players over T-Mac, or just not wanting him at all.  But they need to be logical reasons, not made up ones in your head because you don't actually know the player and his abilities.
    • I'm pretty sure that was the best season he's ever gonna have.
