First 3 draft picks need to be DL

[lostar2009]

Would there be any useful DL players this year in the late 2nd to mid rounds.

Need DE and interior. Any solid FAs out there we don't have to overpay for average performance?

I think that would be a mistake. We have a bunch of contracts coming due at other positions at the end of next season. We need players who can possibly take over at those positions, or at least give us some leverage in contract negotiation. CB and LB will be concerns.

DL is all over the place? K

No lol.

Thread title- we need to use three draft picks on DL
Then- Need DE and interior
Then- Any solid free agents? FAs are draft picks
Then- we don't have to over pay for average performance. What are you eve hmmm saying?

I was saying we need all positions of the DL...and if we can find any solid FA DL that isn't washed up and overpaid I'm down for it.

Rookies would be cheap, don't see how they would affect our cap too much any time soon

What if it's RB, ILB, RG?

If a starter quality RB is there you save millions by letting Zeke play out. I’d probably not pick the other two but I would take a safety, WR, OT maybe even a CB who was a better player than I could get at Dline. If you got a starter quality CB makes it easier not to extend jones. A WR helps the offense, a safety helps the secondary
The point is we’ve seen others do it and we’ve done it. It is drafting for need not drafting talent
The reason our recent drafts have been better is not doing that

I think you could find a DT in FA, a DE with rush skills is much harder

I think everyone agrees with you although my bet is McClay and front office will stick to their draft plan although now with the who knows about Gregory situation, trading next year's #1 is more of a possibility than ever.

Right off the bat you're talking about your first non-Dline pick starting on day 3(!)... That's not a great way to infuse young talent throughout your roster. I think upgrade at backup QB, at least 2 new WRs, Oline depth, LB depth depending on Lee's status, and everyone always needs an influx of new talent in the defensive backfield. 3 straight picks dedicated to one position group... never works. Remember when the Commanders took a bunch of WRs to open their draft? Remember when you did the special teams draft?

I don't think anyone takes you seriously. Unless u talkin about Onyx, I'm sure as heck not listening

 

[Bobhaze]

I wouldn’t mind if the draft worked that way but it’s not likely
You just can’t pass better talent to fill positions

Exactly. Saying before a draft that you’re only going to select at a certain position is a recipe for a failed draft. That’s the kind of thinking Jerry was famous for in the disaterous drafts of 2000 and 2009. Thankfully we have smarter people in the room like Will McClay who can keep the train on the tracks.

Tiers

 

[silvrNblue]

Seeing as our 2 diva dope heads are right back in the graces of Goodell and the NFL and suspended once again, well cept Irving, but then who the hell cares about Irving or RG for that matter. Both had their chances, Both have made their beds, time for them to sleep in them... just some place else. I'd be fine taking 3 D players in the 1st 3 rnds...

 

[Prime21]

Pretty confident there should be good DTs in round 2 and 3. Seems like all the starting caliber DE talent will gone round 1 or before us in round 2.

Need a stopgap DE in FA.

 

[dwreck27]

We drafted our G last year. He just needs to hit the weights.

Gerald Willis hes a DT hence why I put 3tech next to his name...

Here is your "L"

I'll scream all day that you should never draft strictly using BPA, but you should also NEVER draft strictly using need. When drafting, EVERYTHING should be considered. For instance, Gregory was strictly a BPA pick. Why was it a mistake? Dude couldn't even stop toking long enough to test. Taco was a need pick. Although he was pretty close to BPA at the time, I thought he was overrated due to the fact that he was very raw, and was going to take a couple seasons.

Everything should be considered. No stones unturned.

BPA - nuff said - close thread.

Very stupid draft strategy. Reopen thread.

BPA got us Randy Gregory. You likie?

Maybe not if we play FA right ...... Frank Clark and Corey Liuget would be awesome additions. Then we go BPA in draft.

 

[kskboys]

We have to see what Mike White is. We have too many other needs before adding a 4th qb to the roster.

Yeah, maybe throw a 5th-7th rounder at a QB prospect if he's there, but not a need.

Watt should’ve been the pick instead of Taco.

Will depend on any FA we may get before the draft. May be a line draft. With out typical late round RB and QB.
