sounds good. blackmon or richardson

bleh why even bother trying to fix the defense

after we do that, then who do you guys want with our top 10 pick in 2013?

teams that draft based on need end up in the top 10 every year

teams that take the BPA tend to draft at the back end every year

not saying you follow that to a T(in other words fug no to Richardson), but if Blackmon falls to 8 it'd be really, really hard to pass on that.

those saying "he won't be available" just stop

every year players you wouldn't imagine dropping end up dropping due to teams reaching/trades/etc. every. single. year.

Couldn't agree more.

It would not surprise me in the least if Blackmon made it to our pick. Do I expect it to happen, no. But it most definitely can happen. Remember these teams are up at the top for a reason, they have many holes to fill.

      Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.

      I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.

      Has he truly been elite? I don’t recall our defense ever looking good over Horn’s career. I mean, is there even a noticeable scoring difference when he’s healthy? We have always, always overrated our guys and it’s pretty damn rare we actually have a player like Luke that it’s true. I loved Cam and he was a monster at times but we (most of us) revere him for his special plays more than results. Outside of the special 2015, he won 1 playoff game against a 3rd string QB. Don’t get me wrong, Cam was unbelievable at times but he’s a great example of us overrating players. Just for shits and giggles, I checked points against. We gave up 25 ppg from 2021 to 2024. In Jaycee’s 37 games, we’ve give up 26 ppg. I’d say Brown is far more valuable as our points against went from mediocre to record breakingly bad.
