Underwhelmed
Does anyone else feel like we only got 1 player of real value and 3 look squaders? We needed help all over the defense and yet again, no linebacker and no corner.
No one is projecting a playoff appearance this year, but damn, can't we at least be competitive? |

Re: Underwhelmed
I thought we got good value with our first three picks... Rankins is an every down DT, the only other was Buckner, Thomas is a big receiver everyone was clamoring for, and Vonn Bell was arguably the best cover safety in the draft...

Re: Underwhelmed
I'm just lost as to why they didn't select a guard with that last pick. As soon as I heard them say we had traded up, I thought surely they had to be doing that because they desperately needed a guard and saw someone they wanted.
Instead they drafted Sasquatch. |

Re: Underwhelmed
I dont think CB was a big a need as the media do. Obviously we need a healthy Lewis but PJ Williams will be back this year and he was ranked as a late 1st rounder by talent. Lewis-Breaux-Williams-Swan and Bell can play there too.
I dont think the LB were there in depth this year. Alot of 220lbers I think its Anthony-Laurinaitis-Robertson this year. You cant fix all the holes in one draft unless youve got the trade bait like the Browns and Titans Lets be honest -----Robertson-Laurinaitis-Anthony Jordan--Rankins--Fairley--Richardson Looks far better than what was on the field last year |

Re: Underwhelmed
Yeah i reckon you now get the Brees extension and Evans and Kevin Williams brought back in. Both would make sense another id like to kick the tires on is Sammie Lee Hill NT(former Titan/Lions)

Re: Underwhelmed
Typically fans being underwhelmed means great drafts. So that's awesome.

And who said he was proficient at getting to the QB? He had five sacks last year, from what I can find on him. Against THAT competition. He is absolutely, 100% a project, and if you try to argue any other way you are clearly trolling. They are going with his athleticism, and banking on the hope that they can develop him. Maybe they will. I would have much preferred to see them take a guy like Connor McGovern, instead of a project. Why? Because guard is a need that is beyond pressing. |

Onyemata|Rankins|Fairley|Jordan will be a very strong run defense, with above average pass rush capabilities |

Re: Underwhelmed
We picked arguably the best WR, DT and Safety in the draft. I think all of them will be starters this year.

He's a project, and will continue to be until he proves something. All rookies have something to prove, but this kid comes from freaking Canada. How did Akiem Hicks work out there, smart guy? I see the athleticism, and it's interesting. But there are times to take chances, and times to fill glaring needs. Now, any draft pick can be a bust. But you have to play the percentages. |

Where does this Kikaha can't contain edge come from?

Re: Underwhelmed
Its doesnt matter who you take in these rounds. Some will be good others gone in a couple of years. Looks like we went with the guy with a big upside but bust potential rather than a safer lower cieking higher floor

Re: Underwhelmed
I'd rather have a project at the position that requires the least amount of technique and intuition (DT) than say, trying SLB at corner or Fortt at LB
He's quick, takes up space, and can probably give us 25 snaps a game as a rookie |
Re: Underwhelmed
You do know we ran majority 4-3 last year even before Rob Ryan got the boot but ok with Kikaha starting DA decided to put him in space terrible idea
