And honestly it worked then because between the two we got one that worked out for us.
Maybe you can say the same thing about TJ and Walker this year but going into this years draft it was clear we needed a couple big DTs and athletic CBs. Since Beane was so confident that we can get a good DT later aka Walker …. Props to him BTW
That doubling up at CB early would made a lot of sense,
It’s easier to wish for a better past than deal with the current and future reality
Actually we could have, since we still would’ve taken Mad Max in the 1st.
We were in an ideal situation to take that risk given the upside of the player.
What if Beane realized that picking in the 1st round isn’t that easy and that he’s better off grabbing value and finding gems later in the draft. Leading to a strategy of early trade backs and taking the boring consensus play with our 1st pick every year. Let’s see how that might have worked out for us……
E.G. Will Johnson and Ladd McConkey.
vs TJ Sanders and Keon Coleman.
That’s not even considering the extra draft value, we can only dream I guess.
We have a smaller defense, that’s fine.
What we are asking for is for McDermott to use their athletic ability when we need them and for them to play aggressive.
It would surprise them, that’s for sure.
He made an incredible play. Henry usually doesn’t fumble like ever so regardless of how great of a play Ed made, Henry publicly stated that he feels the loss was on him.
I hear you but QB slides are a little different IMO. He had the ball up the field the spot was at least a yard off from reality, I think at that point in the game getting to 3rd and inches (at least) was the right move but why don’t our reporters even ask the questions to him?
He's big an accountability for everyone else it seems.
