Smith would have ended up in the division regardless if you don't trade or trade to the bears.
They also made a huge mistake paying Dak as much as they did, so who they wasted a draft pick on should come as no surprise. Trading out of the top 10 was pretty dumb too, especially since it went to a division rival. To me it just proves Jerry's desire to be 'relevant' and 'interesting' rather than trying to build a championship roster.
Stopping the run is for day 3 players.
This is 2021 and not 1993.. When teams hand off we celebrate. Especially teams with Aaron Rodgers types and such.
He was the highest graded run defender in 2019.That’s all I was hearing. And Lee retires so we get another Penn ST. LB. I don’t know if he is as smart. But help with the run please.
Slater is a drop in starting player that's considered Zach Martin ALL PRO material at guard or tackle....And don't buy into Jerry's Best player on their board comment, he was maybe the best defensive player LEFT on their boardBest player on our board.
Both corners gone. Slater viewed as a LG only.
Easy decisions.
You can get linebackers in the late second round and beyond in today's modern NFL...How is a tackle a better pick than a linebacker though? We all complained about linebacker last year.
Not at all. We didn’t reach like we did with Taco for a position of greater need. Instead we went with best defensive talent available while picking up an additional pick today.The Parsons pick smells like another Taco Charlton move..... Stephen Jones should of picked the phone up and made something happen....

I guarantee if you told Jerry and Co that you'd have your pick of Fields or Jones at 10 he wouldn't have jumped the gun and gave Dak a contract he did not deserve.
Disagree. Taco was average. Parsons is an athletic freak and was the highest rated defensive player and would’ve went top 10 without a QB heavy draft.The Parsons pick smells like another Taco Charlton move..... Stephen Jones should of picked the phone up and made something happen....
He was the highest graded run defender in 2019.
Yeah. He sucks What a horrible pick. All of those accolades and only 2 years playing the position lol. Come on. Our fans are something else.

Worst D in history and people still want to go Oline? lol
With the claim that LB's cannot effect the short passing game given that the QB releases the ball so quickly (3 seconds), WR's have to run short-routes over the middle, or the RB will have to slide out the backfield for a quick pass.
You need speed/versatile LB's that can recognize, and attack the short passing game -- Parsons has the speed/quickness to perform such a task.
He ain't a slow and lackadaisical LB.
Not only does he possess the speed, but he has the punishing impact at tackling that can either dislodge the ball, or intimidate the receiver.
