Top Offseason Need - Poll

28th in run defense, needs to be addressed...
I would agree run defense needs addressed but if someone like greedy Williams is the best player on the board when we pick at 17 you have to pick him to pair him with Ward and potentially replace him if Ward can't stay healthy. Then if he plays up to par and Ward stays healthy we have two premiere young lockdown corners that will help in the Run game because we don't have to commit as many to pass coverage.

I went CB for that reason. If Ward can’t stay healthy, we’ll have a bigger hole than DT.

When ur lineman get.pushed off the los and OL jump off on ur lb'ers like they came off a trampoline......wont matrer who are lb'ers are. Schobert played well in the beginning of the season when everyone was fresh. As the season wore on our lack of serviceable depth meant srarters were getting wore down. Garrett was the only DL starter that didnt have some kind of obvious issue.
-
Our LBs maybe over paid but its suprising so many people think they are our major issue. Schobert is a stud. Collins is a monster when hes motivated and winning tends to motivate people. Kirksey is overrated but still a quality starter. Then you have Avery and Vallejo who showed some promise.
We need to replace Coley and get some depth at DT.
We need to get RT who can move Hubbard to a rotational player. Resign Robinson and give Harrison another year to earn the LT job.
Those are the only needs I see. It would be nice to have a #1 WR that could draw double teams, or another pass rusher across from Garrett, or another shutdown corner across from Ward. We just need to focus on getting quality depth so no single injury (outside of Baker) will ruin our season.

I don't know about these being the "only" needs....I think the DB could use more help...but it is still a good start to things.

We have Ward, Randall, and Peppers playing at a high level. Mitchell showed play making ability. BBC is a stud and Carrie is a really nice depth piece. Ideally we had another top level CB but I'm happy with that secondary

It's never a bad thing to draft a top CB in rd 4/5 if one drops.
But the priority has to be DI and LB.. cmon people, this can't be a debate, we just gave up over 300 yards rushing in one game. And DE is nearly nonexistent on our list of potential weaknesses -- depth is good, and the improvement between Ogbah and whoever we draft would quite seriously be 8-15 plays per season.. aka one per game. This play would be known as a "sack" -- because Ogbah is top5 in setting the edge in run D. He's good.. actual issues are elsewhere. We had this same discussion last year.. drop it.
If we drafted DI and 2 LB in some combo with the first 3 rounds and CB in the 4th and take some flyers on character in the later rounds I think that'd be just about optimal..

The nice thing about finding DTs that are good against the run is today's NFL values a pass rush over run defense.
You can probably find one or two this draft on the cheap.

Ogunjobi is a terror in the Middle. Could do with one more beast inside. CB depending on who all we keep but we should finally have Howard Wilson healthy and he's supposed to be legit- freak accident breaking his patella(kneecap) in training camp...
I like all of our players.
Wilson has been hurt for like 3 years running. Why on earth should any of us expect him to contribute?

As I said this morning on another thread, obviously he is kept on IR by the FO for a damn good reason. If they had no expectations, he would have already been gone.

This draft is loaded with talented DTs that would fit our D well. But like others if the BPA is a LB like White of LSU, take him and go for the DT in Rd 2.

Isn't White a MLB? If so, are you moving Schobert to OLB?

White has played Rover LB in mostly a 3-4 system at LSU, so he has played everywhere at LB. as most rookies, coverage skills will be tested at nfl speed..

Possibly. But White is a major step up from Schobert. The guy is going to be a monster for some lucky team. He doesn't just hit, he runs through blocks and destroys. Take note in this video how really strong his hands are too. Not only does he track down speedy RBs/QBs, but he grabs and slings people around with hands that belong on DLs. Excellent in pass coverage as well. Multiple reasons why he won the Butkus Award this year.

If I am replacing one starter, it is Coley at DT.
Kirksey is probably next (sadly, because I like him) and we need to take a hard look at the OT situation.
Love another big WR, gonna need another corner, and can't have enough pass rushers...
BUT everything changes with a new coaching staff, the schemes they run, the type of players they want ... Prepare for change!

Prefer the term prepare for upgrade rather than change
a lot less needs changing now compared to recent off seasons

If there is a change in coaching. There will be a big change in players and a four win season. It will take any squad time to adjust to a new coach and scheme. Learning curve will last into week six of regular season.
