What positions do you think are most important

[Jfconrow]

I’m always a fan of bpa, but only within the team needs. I would think they want a RB and LB, but maybe not in the first, so I’m thinking OL or DE in the draft first. I think In 4 rounds they need one of each. My gut tells me RB/RB in rounds 3-4.

QB, protect the QB and pressure the other QB.

That’s why QB, LT and DE are the most valuable positions that get drafted highest.

 

[bonafidebanter]

In no particular order:

OL, DL, LB, TE, S

 

[JJGR8]

G, LB, S, WR, DL, C

 

[NoFurtherQuestions]

1) OL (Guard & Center)
3) Linebacker (Need Inside Linebacker depth)
2) DL (Both Nose Tackle & Pass rushers)
4) TE
5) Secondary (Safety)

Not sure we can fix the Inner DL problem with this draft class. Not sold on Jordan Davis in the 1st and this doesn't seem a deep DT class. Hopefully we can pick up a few edge rushers with this good DE class. Need some of our young DT's to come on next season.

If we can get either one of Green, Linderbaum, Dean or Lloyd in the 1st that would be amazing

Next year focus on WR & RB more

I agree with this although I think a dominant three tech DT is right up there. Even Brady melted from pressure up the gut. Those guys are becoming extremely rare though. Off top of my head: Donald, Jeffrey Simmons and Chris Jones.

Lol at people naming safety. Safeties have been largely omitted from first rounds for years unless you're transcendent

 

[MonsterD]

I might be out of sorts with the general board population on DT but I think DE is more important. That being said, DE,S,OL in particular OT as either 1a or 1b. LB,and maybe CB.

Not having better ones is a huge reason TB lost to LA. S is one of the most underrated positions.

DT, LT (RT if your qb is left handed), C

Most important positions?
1) QB - touches the ball every offensive play and has to make correct decisions. Hardest to find.
2) DT - determines your ability to stop the inside run AND whether you can rush 4 or need to bring more
3) DE - Need pressure
4) OT - Need to stop the pressure
5) IOL - Determines whether you run inside or out, and whether you use a quick passing game or work verticals for big plays
6) CB - need to stop the WR
7) WR - need to beat the CB
8) LB - lunch pail guys who need to stop the run and be able to cover
9) S - the make or break a D guys.
10) TE - if they can block AND are dynamic in the passing game they are a huge asset to the offense
11) RB -- shortest life cycle in the game. Lots of backs can run through huge holes, but few can run if there aren't any holes at all. They are usually small by NFL standards because they need their quickness and speed, but end up blocking guys lots bigger quite often in a game. Then they get hit by guys with lots of momentum.

The name of the game on defense is to make the other team one dimensional and then stop their ability to do that efficiently.
The name of the game on offense is to do what you want when by confusing the defense, or dominating the line physically, or finding the defenses weakness and exploiting it.

The game hasn't changed in 50 years, but seems like it is all new. Really coaches just have different teams with different strengths, and learn to exploit teams in differing ways. It runs in cycles as to who the ultra elite are, but the game really hasn't changed much. Only real changes I have seen are the skirts on the QBs, and how blatantly the officiating controls what a team can and can't do during the game.

I think you need two quality edge rushers and a guy in the middle like Donald, Miller, and Floyd.

This is a tricky spot.
Paying attention to some of the Tea leaves
Jerry Jones is nit happy and niether are alot of coaches and personal.
Cooper is under fire
Collins is under fire
Greg the leg is under fire.

Could we get a late first for Cooper?
If so we need a WR badly. Or in FA??? ALLEN ROBINSON (Cowboys where intreasted in him awhile back before he went to the Bears)

Can we get a 2nd or 3rd for Collins?
This is Steeles Job to loose. It saves money.

Who can replace Greg the Leg if we cut him?


TE has to be on that list Schultz might be completely priced out. FA David Njoku, O.J. Howard or a speed guy like Engram?

Hoping they don't bring back certain players and go different directions. Like letting Randy Gregory go and hoping Von Miller would come here on a decent deal giving us a window to replace in a couple years .

Maybe moving Anthony Brown or Jourdan Lewis for a pick or a player that needs a new home. Jeff Okudah rings the bell. And Joseph is gonna be hot on the hills and needing to start. Didn't look bad at all when he played.


Safety do we keep trotting out a vet in FA or do we go after a Daxton Hill who can play that single high safety spot like a champ?


There alot of ifs and McClay will have his hands full till draft time.

You will also have to think qould you trade some of your 2023 picks to bolster up some more picks this year?

And if McCarthy does fail what do you have to trade to get him?

I’m not hearing a lot of love for RBs? Ultimately we lost this year because we had no healthy RBs. To me that’s definitely a position they have to address.

Between the two we have it isn't a hole. Next year will be very different. Not a bad decision to draft one this year but it isn't a detriment to get a FA or whatever next. The main problem was Oline though.

To me it’s a long season and the RBs take a beating. The 2 RBs we have are good but zeke is wearing down. Personally I want to draft a rb who could carry 20 touches a game and maybe 2 of them because you can draft OL but the team needs ball carriers

Timing is still better for next draft not this one. A rookie RB can start especially if you get another one or two in FA or draft and use them properly. This draft I would be focused on Oline and defense in general.

That’s what I’m thinking too OL and Dline build in the trenches. I just think they need extra RBs and LBs because it’s a long season and that’s how they lost this year. I’m a fan of building the trenches and still getting mid round and solid Lbs and RBs.
