We Are Only Getting One Good D Player In The Draft

[FirstRoundPick]

They were good at creating turnovers, but (without looking it up) I don't believe they had top notch pass defense stats.

OMG!

This is what I love, all the 2nd guessing by people who think they know better then Rivera and Hurney.

I think Rivera knows a thing or two about defense, so you guys need to relax and have faith.

I wonder if Lion fans were saying same thing when Matt Millen was in charge?

But yes lets not ? the GM with 3 winning season in 11 years.

Lmao

This!

[FirstRoundPick]

People keep saying the Jim Johnson defence doesn't need good lineman. I guess that is why the spent so many high round picks over the years on D-line while hardly anything at linebacker.

Anyone that knows football knows that everything starts on the lines / in the trenches.

Which is the main reason I wanted to go DL the first two picks.

They had both and a good secondary.

Still, Worthy, and Curry are studs!

OG is not crucial position. UDFA can come in and play more than serviceable.

Just put on some tape of Mack Bernardeau at right guard two years ago. His ineptitude will show you how important a guard becomes when the starter sucks ass.

Look at Bell last yr. Dude came in and played ok as a UDFA if im not mistaken which isnt uncommon for OL.

Serious question- how many times do you seriously think multiple awesome defensive linemen are available in the 2nd round?

The last time we drafted a "stud" DE we got Everette fuging Brown (1st round grade fell to 2nd round!!!!!). The draft is a crapshoot, there is a good chance every one of those D-linemen will be mediocre to terrible

I just put on a tape of Fua, McClain, Captn, and Butler and just realized they will be playing again this year.

No he played well, but that is not the norm.

Any player can bust. 1st - 2nd round. Doesnt matter.

Still, Curry, Worthy were all upgrades to what we have.

I agree they sucked last season. But I don't think the available players at our 2nd pick would have been that much better. With the exception of Munnerlyn. A hermaphrodite with down syndrome could have out balled Captain last year.
