I wouldn't complain with that.

I would. The kid would be the 4th OLB on the depth chart behind Houston, Ford and Tanoh so he probably would have a redshirt year which would piss me off.

Yeah I get that but if they do take him it means they already know that KPass isn’t a long term answer or they may move him back inside.

Overall point is I don’t see them taking an OLB that early anyways but if they do, it’s going to be because they don’t have confidence in who is there currently.

Andy just said one month ago that Tanoh will play OLB on base downs. If they give up on him this early, when this kid had no real chance to prove himself, it would be a goddamned disaster for Veach and Andy.

Can we all just agree how ****ing shitty of a pick Tanoh was?

**** Dorsey and his SPARQ score bullshit.

Get some football players who know how to play the position so we can properly evaluate them from one year to the next. And if you DO draft lottery ticket-types like KPass or Ford, DON'T ****ING DRAFT THEM IN THE 1ST, 2ND, OR 3RD ROUND.

****.

I knew it would be Carter. Great pick :clap:

Dude, you’re giving up on Tanoh way too soon. He can bend the edge with all that that size and he got much better from the preseason to his week 17 start. He’s going to be a good player.

I hope he turns out. He ****ing better.

That's the problem with taking guys like him, though. You never know where you're at from one season to the next. Coaches don't know if they can plug him in. They might have a pretty good idea, but it's an uncertainty. They constantly have to be aware of possibilities where the guy just isn't ready. They have to find Plan Bs.

For the record, Carter would probably have been #2 on my list here, but I would be happy with this.

People are way too concerned with what position we take and where. As long as it’s defense, I’m good. There’s nothing wrong with adding pass rushers to a team that has had to rely on Frank ****ing Zombo way too ****ing much.

We have 2 picks in the 3rd and 2 in the 4th to either use or trade up. Take the best defensive player available (unless they feel they can get a starting LG) and then use those other picks to secure a CB, S, and DE.

The corners to target at 54 are all gone, as are all but one of the safeties (the guy I probably would’ve taken).

There were also a couple of DL I would’ve been happy with, but I’d prefer Carter.

You are assuming that Ford will be healthy and stay healthy. You are assuming that Kpass will take the next step. You are assuming that we will not have an injury.

Carter gives you so much flexibility at OLB. You don’t have to overpay for Ford if he has a career year. You can maybe get rid of Houston’s contract if him and Tanoh work out.

I like the idea of building the new defense around a front 7 with Jones, Ragland, Hitchens, Carter and KPass.

I would prefer to take a DL first. We saw how this defense went to shit when Chris Jones got hurt in the playoffs. Need insurance there IMO.

I like Carter. I would just be pissed that he would start off so far back on the depth chart and might not make an impact this year due to that.

Well maybe this is where we move up to get that player, whether that would be back into the 2cd or earlier 3rd to get another DL. With the signings we have made I would not be surprised if it were a DB instead of a DL though.

If they intend on moving Tanoh inside on passing downs he could have plenty of opportunities to produce as the 3rd OLB, and should Ford/Houston/Tanoh get injured he’d possibly be a big contributor.

We have a lot of flexibility with two picks in each of the next two rounds to make sure we get a couple DB’s and a DL.
