TP is an athletic freak, the only thing holding him back lies inside the helmet.Yes, but with his physical attributes and with the right attitude, do you think he can become a number one guy? Even a 2 is good though. He does seem like the type to push ...Maybe not a j Jones..But close is great
I think he's going to want #1 WR money to stay, and I don't think he's worth it.
I'm sure you're right about the money. The packers were sniffing heavy at trade deadline and still like him. I half expect him to go there and Excell. Our FO won't part with the money for himTP is an athletic freak, the only thing holding him back lies inside the helmet.

So do we draft another big WR to replace Pryor?
So do we draft another big WR to replace Pryor?
Nah, we'll be getting Josh Gordon back with like 2 years left on his original contract. We might convince TP to stay with JG to draw massive coverage to the opposite side, it'll be a track meet. Plus, Coleman will be a veteran player as well, should make a substantial jump next season especially with the addition of Gordon.

Keep in mind that's 3 first rounders next year, possible that all three would be top 15 picks. Also, we have PHI's 2nd rounder as well. So that would be 3 in the first and two seconds.

Looks good but i would take someone like than Webb over Kaaya.
I keep taking williams in my drafts aswell and the kicker is much needed
-
No thanks. Would love to see it, but given the needs on this team, RB isn't one.
-
Oddly i had us grabbing mitch and fournette in some drafts on the draft game. Extremely unlikely but hey we can hope

Consolidated picks to obtain 4 firsts, I had to give up a first next year but all things considered, we'd still have two second rounders next year that we could trade up for a first come draft time. Plus, with a franchise QB, a franchise RB, and adding two defensive monsters from Alabama, we should be good to miss one pick. Plus, Evans is a steal at the top of the third round, he's a playmaker. Donnel Pumphrey is going to be the next Cribbs/Hester, he is a special teams threat that can also contribute in the 'regular' offense.
Round 1 Pick 5 (TENN): Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina (A+)
Round 1 Pick 8: Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama (A+)
Round 1 Pick 9 (ARI): Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU (A+)
Round 1 Pick 11 (CAR): Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama (A+)
Round 3 Pick 1: Justin Evans, SS, Texas A&M (A)
Round 5 Pick 31: Julie'n Davenport, OT, Bucknell (
Round 6 Pick 1: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State (A-)

2019 Round 1 Pick

Why would we take a RB in the 1st round when the running game has been the only bright spot on this team despite the awful O line...?? pass rusher, qb, ol....those are the positions that "must" be addressed in the first 2-3 rounds. Unless we do something in free agency with the OL
-
That's some pipe dreams there G. I like it but its pretty unlikely lol

Well if go by needs were not taking any pass rushers in round 1 we just took 3 top 100 passrushers last year. And i dont think we can take 1 QB and 9 Centers in a row

there's a reason ogbah and nassib didn't go in the 1st round mate. I like the kids ok...but there's a reason.

Last in the NFL in QB pressures. I don't give a god damn who we drafted last year. Saying we drafted X position in the 2nd or 3rd round doesn't mean we don't have a need.
But go on, you were saying...?

Last in the league in alot of things this year. I'd say our issue is more on coverage than it is on pass rush. Our linebackers are terrible in coverage and our 3rd cb is really bad and i dont even know what Safety depth we are on.Last in the NFL in QB pressures.

But go on, you were saying...?
Most of the time the opposing QB just hits the checkdown in sub 3 seconds and casually goes up the field. Or my favorite the middle of the field just above our linebackers. Or they just run it while our guys struggle to figure out what gaps are. Considering our guys are not slower or weaker than ANY OTHER nfl players and the evidence we have seen this season. I would say the biggest NEED is improved communication skills, Player positioning and Discipline.
But since we cant draft Coaching we'll have to settle for areas of maximum effective value
Edit: Also we are 28th in pressures not last... But last year we were actually Average in this statistic. So you know hooray for zone blitz horton

I know it seems that way. Good running game - bad oline.
However, Crowell isn't on Peterson's level... he's good but he's not ELITE. Johnson has been good but he's complimentary to the running game. I like Crow but he's coming up on a contract and replacing Crow with a player like Leo is an upgrade. Leonard Fournette is a game changer. I believe getting Bitonio back and having that left side locked down is going to be huge. We also have several other players that could turn out really decent on the O-Line for the right side.
I see a backfield of Leonard Fournette, Duke Johnson and Donnel Humphrey far superior to what we have now. Plus, that would enable us to cut like 5 runningbacks.

JJ watt can't Carry a team, Joe Thomas can't carry a team. LT could, Emmitt Could. Obviously QB Can carry a team.
Again Can't count on coaching so gotta put maximum impact in the players with the highest impact

Pass rusher is a premium and there are far more top 5 worthy picks of them in this draft than top 5 linebackers which are extremely rare.
In today's NFL you have to build front to back. You have to be able to limit the run and consistently move the QB off the spot. The days of having Revis and Crow on each side then making up for it with a variety of secondary blitzing is over. Too much contact is called.

LT carried his team...where? To first round playoffs exits every time? Emmitt had the luxury of a HoF QB and WR playing with him.
Let's not even start on the badass Olines both those teams had. Neither LT nor Smith are anywhere near as effective playing behind some lower tier bunch. You can say that for most every running back not named Sanders.

If we could get some first round exits in the playoffs from leonard that would be okay i guess... I mean if i am forced to
Also in point to the top portion of your statement we LITERALLY run zone blitz with heavy use of secondary Blitzers i'm not sure how your still stomaching the season to be honest.
