Draft Strategy

Other than Revel at corner Dallas has no one . Diggs was jogging after Chargers burning him
And Bland has chronic foot issues which doesn’t lend itself to playing NFL corner . If and when Bland is fit for duty make him a FS which is less demanding

Well yes, however, Pass-Rush and the benefits it gives is still the pressing need.....forcing a rushed throw is more advantageous than a CB who can track. 3 CB's or 1 pass-rusher.

No, reaching for need has never worked out. Everyone drafts for need, stupid not to.

I agree we need "good players", so draft the best available.

Spend money in free agency on LB and S as those will be your cheapest positions to get quality players. Then trade back with one of our 1st's to gain a 2nd.

Then follow your board to get a OT, CB and Edge.

Re sign Clowney he’s been a nice surprise.

If you took Bain as a need pick he would also be the BPA at that spot.

In other words he would be too good to pass up considering it would be like hitting the lottery that he fell in the first place.

But other than that I agree, Do not take players of need if they are not the BPA in that general area of the draft pick.

This team can use help in the secondary, LB, Edge...that means there is a pretty good chance that you will get a BPA and position of need that falls in line.

So you think a rookie DE is the fix to our pass rush problem???

You must think like Jerry.

Been thinking about our draft strategy for 2026.
We have 3 high priority needs on defense, as well as several "we also need" positions. LDE, MLB, CB.
But we only have 2 Starter picks in this draft. Right now # 14 and # 23. (I believe).
So, which position are we more likely to be able to use FA on ? MLB or CB. With our 2nd and 3rd rounders already being spent it's gonna be tough.
We should come away with 2 good starters, and several depth pieces with out 4th, and 3 5th rounders. BUT, we are gonna have to supplement the Draft with a high grade FA, or two. If we want to fill.the holes we have.
The first round looks to have players at positions we need, but without the early rounders to help offset those 2 - it's gonna take some maneuvering with FA. I like the players we traded for, but it's unfortunate we not have more fire power to pick up the extra positions that a 2nd and 3rd rounders would give us.
It will be very interesting how they handle this - LDE and LBer ? Or LDE and CB.
What about safety, we're not getting a starter with our 4th round pick. Or offensive needs.
And if we do pick up a couple of players in FA, it should be easier to see what their plan will be for the draft.
I'm opposed to trading down with either of 1st. Round picks - as they should reap 2 good starters.
Thoughts ???

We can't count on drafting a DE to fix our pass rush.
