Your reaction if we go DBs in the first couple rounds?

How many wrs have we ever drafted that were good right off the bat. I think we will pick up a few guys in FA and supplement with the draft. Some.positions like RB or LB you can start right away. Others you cant.If we want a guy to groom then draft one. If we want someone to start we need a vet. So my reaction would be thats great for 2 years from now but little help right away.

Those opposing the idea are dolts. I don't care how elite our front six are, the day our pass rush is having a bad game we're gonna get torched. We'll get away with it during the regular season but come playoff time we'll get exposed BIG TIME. Have any of you not learned from the Texans?

DB is a glaring hole. There's room for WR and CB/S at the top of our board.

 

I will say this again, for the 100th time, Our zone defense is not predicated on top end lock down type corners.  Darell Revis played in a zone scheme this year and looked out of place and had a down year.  Going after a CB in the first is a complete and utter waste of a draft pick when we couldn't manage to score more than 10 points in the post season and you can get an equally valuable type corner for our scheme in the 3rd or even maybe 4th round.  If we continue to never give Cam protection or weapons then we are setting him up for failure.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
