Why are fans putting Offensive Players as Draft Choices?

[rwalters31]

I mean,you can use burger flippers and put on the offense (use UDFA). It is time for the DEFENSE to get the love from the drafting department!! Come on man, go defense all the way!! I mean you do want to go to the Super Bowl right????

I would guess it's because it's idiotic to ignore half the prospects in the draft and essentially use the draft process as an extension of veteran free agency.

Same reason they didn't go defense at 4 last year and they were rewarded for it with a franchise altering player.

Because they understand the draft.

Because we need a WR and a RT. We could use a backup RB and TE.

 

[Teague31]

Because Doug Free is the worst starter on the entire team

 

[DK30]

By that logic, we wouldn't have Zeke

 

[JBS]

Because Doug Free is the worst starter on the entire team

No he isn't..and he isn't even close to the worst

 

[Teague31]

No he isn't..and he isn't even close to the worst

He absolutely is.

 

[JBS]

He absolutely is.

About half the defense is worse than him

About half the defense is worse than him

I can't name a defensive starter worse than free actually. It's a battle between him and Hitchens honestly

And your point is? I mean he is a nice kid but we would have been in the Super Bowl this past year if we had picked Bosa (if available).

You'd have been fine if you just said "on the offense".

Correct

As of now Free is the RT, and Chaz Green is the backup OT. Until otherwise.

About as absurd a comment as I've ever read on this board.

Bosa would have done double duty for us. Getting 1,600 yds at rb (instead of Zeke), and also getting his 10 sacks at DE.

I have to agree.

 

[Hardline]

All the blue chip defenders will be off the board. There will be some very good offensive players available at #28.

There were guys drafted past round 1 last year who had more sacks than anyone on our team

Oh, I don't know. I think his first post where he essentially suggests just ignoring half the players eligible for the draft was pretty absurd.
