The off-season recipe for success

ScottF · 01-11-2017, 04:04 PM

This is a good year to be #11. Going to be 2, maybe 3 QB's taken in the top 10, leaving us a stud defensive player (unless SP drafts another toy) or O-lineman (some people love C. Robinson, others not so much).

I'd be happy with CB Humphrey at 11

The thing that worries me with Humphrey is that he only has to cover for like 1.5 seconds thanks to their pass rush.

If by a miracle Deshaun Watson falls to 11, I think we have to pick him. His calmness under pressure is incredible.

It would be great if we took the preseason games seriously and win a couple. Take good form into the regular season.

I on the other hand would be careful selecting a CB @ 11. Is Humphrey truly a Marcus Peters type talent and hype or is he a benefactor of a stout front 7 that beat up just about every opponent in the SEC this past season?

However I really like LB Reuben Foster.

so, pretty much just like here?

but seriously, that is a good point.
looking at DB depth chart at the end of the year, however, is just scary

Agree with Danno's points. BPA is better than need-drafting in the NFL. We also need to stop trading up and wasting picks. We don't have 83 compensatory picks to fall back on like most of the other teams do.

Our front office doesn't value draft picks in the least. We don't get compensatory picks like the Pats do because we don't let players go while their value is high. That and Roger Godhell doesn't like us. Screw you Roger!

Completely onboard with Danno . Reaching for need is proven to be unproductive. If the scouts have a player highly rated over another player of need You take the BPA. Our FO has been good about addressing need in FA. Pass rusher is the biggest need with CB, LB, OG. being areas of main concern. Our linebacker group is weak and needs shoring up. CB and Guard should be the focus in FA.
