I can’t believe I’m writing this thread since 2008 when I joined this community lobbying for Vernon gholston . 11 years later, still a need. 5 dts taken in the first round. 100 mil in cap space in 2015 and 100 this year with a top 3 pick and still can’t get a edge rusher. All year everyone will be asking what the hell to do with 3 dts on the field at the same time 3-4 or 4-3 or 11 dts at the same time . In all seriousness they got rid of 2 DT’s in Wilkerson and Richardson to use a elite pick on one. Every new D cord. We get will need to draft a DT
To be fair Q is a pass rusher just inside but I know what you mean. I preferred Allen - OLB is still a hole. They have to be targeting one in third round no ? Joe Jackson from Miami , and that guy from Michigan - his name escapes me Chase something . This is gonna be a defensive draft once again if you figure CB also at some point . They better hit on these picks because next year is about OT.....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Leo called the best player in the 2015 draft and he was gonna generate interior pressure without help?
Well for his sake he better hit on one this year..... What bothers me is no trade down ....did he ask for something too ridiculous and refuse to budge ?
Yes he was the best player supposedly . It hasn’t worked out that way but I’d like to see what he does in this defense. Don’t get me wrong I preferred Allen .
For that reason, I am skeptical about Q. I'd love it if he proves me wrong, but I've seen this movie before.
Question would you say Aaron Donald is a pass rusher? I would and q can be the same. Go read nf.com every one of their scouts said q was the best player in this draft
Agreed. To enable a pass rush they're going to need a great secondary, which means upgrading the CBs. It's also very likely that Macc tries to get a pass rusher in his remaining picks, so out of 6 picks that would mean at least 3 will be "D". Good thing it's a defense-oriented league. Regardless of whether "...next year is about OT", Macc had better hit on these picks and the FAs he signed. They have to make the playoffs, regardless of what C. Johnson says. We can't keep simply improving incrementally. Other teams rebuild in much quicker fashion, so it CAN be done. Macc needs to deliver or he should be fired.
How can q be the same if we are going to line him up as a 3-4 DE? I'll answer that question for you - he can't. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
What are you some sort of a moron? Have you not heard that a 3-4 end is THE MOST IMPORTANT position in football? No position generated more $ and sacks over the years than that! Why else would we take 5 in the first round this decade?! Those 8 sacks him and Leo get next year will be well worth it !
