Wins don’t matter this year anyway. That’s why we wasted our money on Flacco. 

No worries, some of that money for Flacco counts against the 2022 cap.

So that’s back to back years taking two day two picks that will have zero to limited impact on the incoming season. Dickerson recovering from his injury/backing up and Williams being in the rotation behind Cox and Hargrave.

Just all time. 

Not to defend Lowie but if there was any year to do that, it would be this one.

I feel the complete opposite. CB was BY FAR the biggest need for this team coming into the draft. Dickerson was a pick for 2022 and beyond. To me that was them hoping they stole a to 25 talent due to injury concerns and gambling as opposed to forcing a need. I don't like the pick at all but for the injury concerns.

Biggest need you are right. I'm just looking at it as they need so many things that I didn't rank them.

Kareem Hunt is rumored in a trade to Miami for 2022 4th and 5th round picks, plus Myles Gaskin. 

Wow we couldn’t trade some of our picks tmw for him?

The objective isn't to win in 2021. The OL and DL are both getting old.

He’s not getting traded during the draft. Teams will want a medical of him. Will probably be traded after the draft for 2022 picks.

Why?  An ACL injury isn't a big deal anymore.

It's rumbling around draft twitter, think it's just a rumor and nothing more. But we shall see.

Totally. I’ve always felt that next season is a 4-5 win team based on Lurie’s comments saying they’re looking at the future. I’m just tired of the red shirt season for early picks.

There's no reason for that.  He hasn't been injured.  

First of all, having been recently injured is irrelevant. Teams will want to do DD on him medically.

Second of all, there’s a significant contract involved.

Learning all kinds of things.  Wyatt Davis's dad was Alvin Mack in The Program.  

Hate to say it, but I agree with their approach to the draft this year.  I disagree with taking Landon Dickerson due to the injuries, but that was the right spot for an IOL with upside.  Williams is a great value on an upside play with reliable backup projection in round 3 for the DL.

IMO, the key to secondary building is uniformity.  A couple overpriced studs with some weak links is less effective (and more costly) than 5 solid coverage guys.  I realize we have holes in the secondary, but I'd rather patch them with value.  They'll hit the secondary with sheer numbers in rounds 4-6 probably.  None of them will help in 2021 (who cares anyway?), but a couple may mature into reliable coverage guys for 2022 and beyond.

 

Insight into the Clowns.  Wondering if this was a clown pick.  I don’t mind it, but if the few actual personnel guys we have don’t like it that raises a flag.

Draft day trades happen all of the time.  Eagles traded for Goodwin last year.

No reason a medical exam would keep them from trading Ertz.

Steelers got my guy.

Disagreement in the draft room is absolutely fine. It will happen. The problem is when it's well reported (with 20+ sources!) that Howie and the analytics staff struggle to integrate the football staff into decision making. Clearly, they're on different pages. Disagree, sure, but there shouldn't be surprises.

The problem is that it happened on camera.  Either bad luck for a FO under fire for this very thing or shows how bad things are that they just didn't even care.

You’re not just trading for his knee. It’s basic DD for a significant contract.

That guy was in everything in bit roles in the 90's. He played Bo Kimble in the Hank Gathers story. He also had a role in the 90's classic Diggstown.
