I trust Beane on this. My gut says they need a dynamic playmaker more than anything, and because of the rest of the offseason moves have the room for a bit of a luxury pick. I like Moss & Singletary but neither of them are game breakers, and neither one is keeping DCs up at night. Etienne & Harris are.
So i may have missed the discussion around this, but did we really part ways with bojo because of the shank against the chiefs? Or was there some other reason?
Maybe at the right price. He's big but not huge, if that's the coin of the realm for this discussion. There's definitely a few guys in the draft that could fill Star's role, especially after a year of NFL training and diet. I assume that's Beane's plan. God help us please can we get to the draft
GB - do you think his game will translate well into the Bigs? one think i noticed is that mot of those pancake blocks are happening when DEs or LBs are taking a bad angle to the play, he probably wont see as much of that on Sundays.
If so though, i absolutely love his nastiness and how he finishes plays and seems like might be worth a 2nd round pick
if i've said it once i've said it a thousand times. the path to the superbowl is fielding 11 CBs on each side of the ball and we can't do that unless we get about recognizing the importance of drafting CBs and nothing but CBs
More than anything I think Knox needs time in seat, as we say. He was barely targeted in college, and has only had 1 training camp in the pros. I hope he's working on his hands this offseason, whatever the TE equivalent of Jordan Palmer is
