Twitter: Stephen on the draft: "we're going look at both, the back and front end of the defense"

[Hawkeye0202]

Don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure this out........but to be honest, this is typical. They are generally pretty open about draft positions they're interested w/o naming players.

Pretty much, hope the starting slot receiver is not currently on the roster.

In other words our roster has more holes than Swiss cheese. Kudos Stephen.

The old motto: "We looked to fill all our obvious holes before the draft, freeing us up to take the best player available."

New motto: "Dude, we got this big boat and I wanted to take it out on a party cruise. Plus, you know, some cool stuff streaming on Netflix. When is the draft again?"

It just can't be unless they are morons.

Everything we knew already. Just stating the obvious. Thank big Steve

 

[Carson]

Chaisson, Terrell, Diggs

Is somewhere in the 6th rd.

Hiding and lurking..

Watching and waiting..

Hoping and a praying.

Isn't that a song from the 60s?

Bobby Mandrell and the Dells?

does that mean they will draft Justin Jefferson to replace Cobb? he is a good player who can play the slot to perfection and he doesnt drop passes.

 

[RS12]

He has said the same thing all off season.

The offense needs speed.

Amari Cooper can easily play slot..

Jerry Jeudy can play slot..

I think they like Lamb the most but I don’t see him as a great fit for Dak.

For me.. I’d like Ruggs or Mims.

Mims has Terrell Owens flashes on the field..

Ruggs.. Might open up the offense and create space for everyone on the team.

i like Jefferson way more than Mims who for me has some bust potential.

Value is where you find it and because of that the numerical slotting system is not the end-all be-all of talent, but it is a good barometer. Because of that I think the first four picks should go to the defense.

As it stands the defensive ends are iffy the defensive tackles are a little long in the tooth and the cornerbacks and safeties could use an infusion of talent. I would look to double dip in the fifth round for a slot receiver.

At some point our franchise quarterback will have to raise the level of play of those around him.

That's said, let's add some talent

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

We've got holes on our defense? That's news to me.

Stephen and Jerry always sound like a couple of fantasy football owners rather than NFL executives.

 

[Doomsday]

I would love for Ruggs to fall to them his speed would make this offense dynamic, but Chaisson, Kinlaw, and Henderson fill bigger needs and one should be there at 17.

Jefferson for me is fine in the 2nd round. I just see a high floor low ceiling type of guy. I’m not investing a 1st.

If I can get Mims in the 2nd I’d roll the dice there and go for boom.

 

[ShortRound]

So the whole defense then?
