Just a gentle reminder when you think we need to go all in at TB in Rd 2

[Sydla]

Yes, we need a RB. But RBs tend to be easier to find than other positions.

So when you are pounding the table for a RB at 53, remember this is our depth chart at DT:

Mazi Smith
Osa
Carl Davis

LOL, that's about it. Throw in Golston if you must but he's 268 pounds. Smith is still a complete unknown. Osa is a quality DT but not that great that you can't upgrade. Davis is a JAG.

IMO this team needs to come away with a DT tonight and if one is there at 53, they absolutely should be considering that even if Jerry's favorite new player, Brooks, is sitting there.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

If Jerry wants Brooks, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or what the team needs.

 

[RodeoJake]

Our DTs and our front 7 as a whole leave a lot to be desired.

 

[Tabascocat]

It doesn’t matter which RB they get until the trenches are addressed.

 

[Aven8]

Depending on how the board shakes out I take my RB at 73 now. I mean in reality Cooper or Wilson could be on the board at 56. That would be amazing. Then you take Benson, Brooks, Allen, or Wright with one of the 3rd round picks.

Agree with this. Hard to see anyone not agreeing with it.

I would have RB still below center, DT/DE and LB on my needs list.

I mean they seem ok with Mazi and Osa….go get a starter.

keeping forgetting about Allen, I'd rather take him or Wright

 

[ferrispata]

Don't forget LB as well, if one falls that we have a high grade on. Overshown is back, but is really an unknown at this point, but with high expectations. I would be very happy with best available player at either DT or LB. And I wouldn't be too angry with RB or CB if not reaching.

If it alleviates any trepidation, I can confirm right now that 53 will definitely not be a RB. Like no chance in hell

Here's what I think will happen tonight. Brooks will end up going before 56 and it won't end up being Dallas. Dallas will end up using the 56th pick on LBer with an outside chance at DT. We end up getting our RB with the 73rd pick in the draft. The 87th pick will end up being LBer or DT depending on which was taken at 56. Of course, this all assumes we don't trade any of the picks.

 

[Kolemmitt]

A LB and big old NT were our biggest defensive needs going into FA. We got a decent LB, but DT scares the crap out of me, and I really don't see anyone left that is going to jump in and help us out this year.

 

[Bobhaze]

Brooks fits the second round “Jerry Fun Pick” profile: ACL injury last November certainly qualifies him,

In all seriousness, Brooks is a real RB talent but I’m also reluctant to believe that a guy with an ACL tear last November is going to be fully healed 8 months later for training camp. Not saying he’s not a big talent but I’m also not sold that he is light years better than a few other RBs. Waiting until pick 73 in round 3 (from the Detroit trade) is where I would feel more comfortable.

This is it.

Wilson / Cooper at 56

RB next

LB / DT with the other 3rd

 

[Sydla]

If Jerry wants Brooks, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or what the team needs.

I think he can be talked into a more prudent decision - like how he was desperate for Manziel and admitted so and said luckily cooler heads around him talked him out of it.

That being said, this time around, seems like Stephen and others are on board with Brooks too so there won't be anyone around to talk some sense into him.

 

[Sydla]

Neither Mazi or Osa is so good that if a DT presents itself at 53, you'd pass to take a RB.

But then again, this franchise has hamfisted the DT position for years so why stop now?

I still think they could go interior OL as well. Say someone like Frazier slips to 73............

 

[Adiba1977]

No rb till round 3 and ideal the later round 3 pick.
