Worst defense on paper since 2012

Well, offense-wise, I'd say Fant or Hockensen. 2 TE sets would be tough to stop. Marquis Brown or AJ Brown. That would make your 3 WR sets pretty unstoppable. Any of those guys would be interesting, no?

Defense- I'd say Tillery, Dexter Lawrence even though it's not really a need position, holy shit he's a game wrecker. Simmons doesn't help you this year, but you'd wreck worlds in '20. It's possible that Ferrell could fall. Greedy or Murphy could fall to #29. They would make your CB group pretty solid.

People reach for QB's. Lots of new head coaches that are going to want their guy. Some interesting players are going to drop.

DK Metcalf would be fine here, good coaching and he is completely different from the rest of the guys.

Metcalf is more Randy Moss than Boston or White, I think.

smoke screen confirmed!!!

VEACH HAS ALL BUT SAID WE WILL BE DRAFTING A QUARTERBACK!!!! CONFIRMED!!!!!11!!

What I found interesting about the presser was that Veach seemed refreshingly open about things. Sure, he didn’t give away any trade secrets, but he did seem very candid about things. I was very impressed with his overall demeanor up at the podium. Now, if he can just draft a coupla All Pro’s...

It doesn't just make me mad, it makes me the kind of furious mixed with futility that few things can achieve.


It's like taking R-rated horror movies and editing out all the nudity. You basically ruined what made it particularly fun to watch.

It depends on what they do next, I wouldn't necessarily hate an offensive player in the first. Regardless of who they pick and where they pick the defense needs to show marked improvement. Another year of a sieve for a defense and heads need to roll.

I have to agree. Not much talent there at all.

uh oh. Now you've done it.

What's funny is that, if this D crashes and burns, every offseason complaint will be forgotten and everyone will jump on board the "this defense lacks talent" train. As if it weren't suggested all offseason.

Yip

We have 2 playmakers on defense: Honey Badger and Jones

We only had 3 last year and they were all pass rushers who did nothing against NE and yet we still should have won.

Just draft 4 guys next week who will either start or play more than 50% of the time and call it good.

Yep.
I think most years I took either the Friday before, or the Monday after the draft off of work; it was a GREAT weekend.

now it's meh.
Aside from the Mahomes and Berry picks, I haven't really watched it at all come to think of it. particularly don't pay much attention at all after the 1st round for sure.
I mean, if it's on and i'm not doing anything, I'll watch. But not like back in the day where it was pretty much known by everyone I knew that it was draft weekend and don't expect me to do anything or go anywhere lol.

and I would the whole thing, all the weekend.

Hate to tell you this but this defense will not reach its potential (what ever that is) until late in the year, REGARDLESS of who they draft. Too many new faces and changes........... SO......... no one knows if it was talent, or scheme, no effort from players or a combination of all of that. Take a break from the "our defense sucked and it still sucks" mantra. Buckle up, lots of time to get freaked out.

I think right now it's likely that our options at 29 will be Greedy, Tillery or Simmons. Honestly I'd be fine with whatever choice from that trio if they don't move.
