bills in oregon Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 So what are the positions we focus on now in the draft with all of the signings? Me trade down if possible. 1. Jabrill Peppers - S, Michigan or O.J. Howard - TE, Alabama or Malik McDowell - DT, Michigan State 2. Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina OrTeez Tabor, CB, Florida or Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut or Dion Dawkins, T, Temple 3. Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington Or Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State or George Kittle, TE, Iowa After that I don't care. Any thoughts?
ice2145 Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 We have needs at every position except RB. We simply aren't that good of a team. First word that pops into my head is MEDIOCRITY.
wilcoam Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 IMO the biggest starting needs are, in no particular order On offense RT, WR2, and WR3 On defense C2, S1 To a lessor degree Nickel Corner if Hyde is our starting safety, and if not, S2, and OLB For the future a DT to eventually replace Kyle jc

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Peppers is not good at football This. Please help me understand the fascination with this guy. He's not good in coverage, and he's too small to play linebacker. I get how a versatile LB/S is valuable in McDermott's defense, but this guy doesn't appear to be a very good football player. Am I missing why he is worth being taken in the first round?

Shows what you know. Once upon a midnight dream, there was tweener, who everyone questioned. "He's not a first rounder," they said. "He doesn't have enough production," they said. Well, his name was Maybin, and he WAS drafted in the first round! How you like them apples. Edited March 18, 2017 by LeGOATski
Samwell Tarly Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 We need the following to happen.. 1. Draft a superstar player in round one, regardless of position. 2.Draft a great player in round 2, regardless if position. 3. Draft a reliable starting player in round 3, regardless of position. 4.Tom Brady and Bill Belichick experience one or more of the following: A. Criminal incarceration B. Retirement C. Alien Abduction D. Entrapment in an alternate reality, such as Alice in wonderland, Chronicles of Narnia, or Wizard of Oz

It's a ton of hype, a name people know, he played both sides of the ball at Michigan which gets attention, but I don't think he was ever the best player on either side of the ball for them.
flomoe Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 QB is a priority but there aren't any "Andrew Lucks" in this draft. The team, from the owners on down, are not going to go for a "tank" to get in position to get a top QB next year. The team has been built to compete, except for idiot coaches, the last few years and is in desperate need of a franchise QB. So what do they do?? They can keep drafting pieces to fit around the current QB, which is likely, or they can go for it with one of the QB's available this year. Watson and Trubisky are probably in the Dalton/Tannehill mold, Kizer is the project and Mahomes is the wildcard. 2 will most likely be gone before 10 (Jets/Browns) but if any of Mahomes/Trubisky/Watson are there, you grab them at 10, or trade down a few spots, and start your future right there. Whaley will probably catch hell but he desperately needs a franchise QB, and he can get one to Learn for a year, or more, behind Taylor. The rest of the draft he can piece the rest of the team together but, it's possible, the future of the organization starts around the 10th pick in this years draft. I'm going to catch hell but this needs to happen at some point. IMO
frogger Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 We need a weak side LB, a WR and corners. That's why I'm in favor of trading down. My ideal scenario would involve this Houston loses out on the Romo deal, Cousins remains in DC, NE doesn't trade Jimmy G to Cleveland. SF picks a QB. With Cleveland and Arizona right behind us, Houston offers their first pick (25th) a third this year, next year's first, but in this deal we give up a 4th next year and our 6th this year. All to get a QB Recap: our 10th pick, our 6th round pick and next year's forth for Houston's 25th pick, a third and next year's first. We draft Foster, who I could see falling after the combine. 2nd round we pick Zay Jones and a CB like Witherspoon in the third and another WR or CB in the third. Then next year we have two firsts, so if Tyrod struggles we have the picks to move up to get a better pick and QB. If he doesn't struggle, then we will have two picks to fill other holes. Getting vets on a one year deal wouldn't be a bad move either i.e. Stevie Johnson if he's healthy and the corner from Tampa. We then could carry additional cap room into Free agency next year
Roundybout Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 as long as Mahomes ends up in red, white and royal blue I'll be happy. I also agree with the Peppers questions. I think hes seriously overvalued. Get Corey Davis in the first...reminds me of TO.
Big Blitz Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Safety and it's not close. Especially playing Brees, Brady twice, Matt Ryan, Derek Carr, and Rivers. Plus Cam Dalton Luck Tannehill and a matchup with Travis Kelce. CB is #2. And since 5 of these guys will be gone in addition to Davis and the 2 DEs....I'd look into trading back, drafting OJ Howard, a DT, or RT. My over under on wins by the way is 5. The schedule in addition to the secondary being a mess--we better hope the front 7 is beast--that means significant impact from Lawson and Ragland and Dareus being the 2014 Dareus.

WR, CB, S, OT, ILB are bigger needs than TE.
metzelaars_lives Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) We need the BPASo if the BPA at 10 is a running back, you're taking a running back? What if the BPA in round 2 is another running back? You going running back in rounds 1 and 2? Might not be too crazy, running back is super deep this year. That's a bold strategy on your part though.

NewEra Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 We need the BPA I wouldn't take BPA if it's a RB or DE. Safety and it's not close.

I would never make a draft pick based on the upcoming years schedule. That's nuts. It looks like Hyde and Poyer will be our safeties. Hyde may slide down and play some nickel cb but I think he plays more safety. I'd rank LB>CB>safety> WR> RT as our biggest needs. We need speed at LB. we need another CB, trusting Seymour to be our #2 is a bit of a reach at this point imo. WR would be ahead of Safety in another offense and with a different QB. RT needs to be upgraded but it may not happen this year. Weird draft for RT prospect imo.

McDermott's defense was in nickel 71% off the time last year. That's all.
