RLC Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Did not expect to see people upset at trading a 6 for a CB...especially when the team that drafted Vincent has a good history of developing CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have 3 1st round picks, I'm using 2 on defense and trying to get Chris Olave at all costs. Drake London was looking like a legit prospect too but the broken ankle might push him down. 2nd round Howie special. WR is far from fixed. It's a shame. Really. Howie is just so incapable to build this thing. There's so many avenues they can take in round 1 but i am just expecting the absolute worse. I wouldn't mind Olave because the speed he brings across from Smith would be tantalizing, I like the physicality of his teammate in Wilson too but I personally would probably wait on WR. I really want to reshape and mold this defense into a fearsome unit once again and possibly add a major piece to the o-line like Neal or maybe even Green. How many guys are back next year between Brooks, Johnson, Kelce. One, maybe two? And whoever does come back out of those three what are the chances they play an entire season? Gotta continue to add more blue chip pieces there I think. I like a Pickens maybe David Bell and a few others as a possibility in round 2 at WR if they go that route. I prefer that bigger more physical piece to compliment Smith. Maybe they can look to get a speed guy for the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the 37th pick in the draft on a C/G who never finished a college season due to injury. They drafted one of the lightest WR in NFL history. Stevens and Johnson were depth/ST picks, not starters. Williams is the flexible lineman that fits Gannon, Schwartz would have just made him a one gap pass rusher, Gannon has him playing both LDE and DT, and probably sees him as a great fit for hybrid packages (give a 4-3 look, then have a DE like Sweat or Kerrigan stand up with Avery/Johnson on the LOS for a 3-4 look). Dickerson is showing why they drafted him, he's a true road grader, guys who can move out DTs are hard to find. If he stays healthy, yeah, he's top 20 quality, needs polish at guard but gives Stoutland a lot to work with. Opeta is the interesting choice, he combines straight line athleticism (5.02, 33" VT, 9'4 LJ) and some stiffness, if Toth got waived over him either Howie thinks teams have sniffed around and/or Stoutland really likes him.

Exactly, I don't want to make excuses or condone but I know that 'rock star' life style from my younger days coming home time and time again from Iraq flush (bad word but what we thought) with money. We were f'n stupid and I regret some of it to this day. I' super glad I was never in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOu don't build a team just off blue chip players, Driscoll will start somewhere along the line, Herbig now that he's lost weight has a chance to start. Same way on the DL we have Williams (3rd), Sweat (4th). What this team needs out of this draft is a couple blue chippers then the kind of solid depth that can start in a year or two. And forget speed WRs, what they need is a big possession "X" to complement Smith, Watkins and Reagor. Someone who knows how to box out on crossing routes and has the strong hands to snatch the ball - your third down guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An NFL caliber arm gets that ball there a lot flatter instead of a complete rainbow which artificially gives you a sense of arm strength. That wasn't a Hail Mary being thrown up hoping your guy catches it at the highest point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, lowering the angle of the throw can still get the same distance by increasing the speed. Who's f'n clone is that?

That's fair too. It is hard to keep CB #6-7 on the roster all season. Realistically, a player in RD6 is going to miss whether we use the pick or we trade for a recent 6.

McCain is probably gone. Gowan was active over him last week. Both Gowan and Vincent were on my draft board for the Eagles. I didn't have too much of an opinion on Gowan, but I did like Vincent a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
