Horrible pick. We just lost our best CB/ Safety and we go for glamour?
Your thoughts
They stuck to the draft board which is what great teams do. Still have 6 more picks and no safety was taken last night so could easily get one tonight. Plus did everyone forget about free agency where there are quite serviceable guys available but teams did not want to sign them before the draft for two reasons. One, before the draft they count against next year's comp picks and two you don't want to sign a guy to the same position you just drafted. That is money not well spent.
Free agents available they could sign or trade a day three pick for:
Logan Ryan CB - 29 years old but very good still
Jadeveon Clowney DE - sure going to cost you but heck of a pass rusher
Markus Golden DE - another 29 year old but still a good rusher for the right price
Everson Griffin DE - 32 but good for a year or two
Eli Apple CB - just 25 and has played for Nolan
Dre Kirkpatrick CB - 30 but cut because of $$ concern
Daryl Worley CB - 25, past out field issues but good
Tedric Thompson S - 25, good ST guy and decent S
Darron Lee LB - 25, another ST guy
Malik Hooker S - 25, could be had probably for a 5th from Indy former 1st round pick needs a change of scenery.
O.J. Howard TE - 25, former 1st round guy, probably take a 5th and 4th in 2021 for him but kid is good
Yannick Ngakoue DE - 25, probably could get for a 3rd since you have to extend him for Lawrence type money but very good DE
and their are others but until you get to Day 3, no sense in doing anything until say 5th round on trades to see what you have.
Stick to the draft board and take the BPA unless the players are close in grade then take the need player. It always works best that way.
