not going to happen

April 21, 2017 06:23AM
i jest a bit because i agree its possible but i just dont see it. this team has languished offensively for so long the top priorities has to be (1) protect goff; and (2) get goff weapons. doing neither of those 2 things, both wastes goff (and gurly) and the draft capital to get goff. and if you dont think an offensive guy is applicable at 37 (which i doubt very much) them move to a position that is more palatable.

a couple more things...

1. i thought the westbrooks issue was done. werent the charges dropped? maybe im wrong but i dont think the nfl can do anything this point. more to the point, tyrun walker was brought in to battle westbrooks for this spot. he played de in NO, not NT.

2. on this best case scenario....this is something we have have been saying for 5 years now. im done with it. fix the offense. in fact id rather lose watching an exciting offense and then crap that we have watched the last 5 years. you went and got the qb, now give hime the protection and weapons to make plays.

...that at least 3 of 8 picks are on defense. And I don't rule out one at 37 or 69.

I agree. This draft really could present a situation where the better players available in rounds 2 and 3 are defensive players.

And of course they do have defensive needs. With Westbrooks possibly iffy because of off the field stuff, LDE is a need. So is edge rusher---Quinn has been hurt for 2 years and Barwin is on a one year. And it is possible to imagine a situation where the CBs available are better than any WRs or TEs at that point.

The situation IMO is like this. No offensive additions will raise the offense enough to carry the team.

But it is also possible that circumstances could work out to lower the effectiveness of the defense (eg. problems in the front 7 like ones I already suggested).

The worst case scenario, then, is an offense that doesn't improve enough after just one draft plus a defense that slips some (again for reasons already stated).

The best case scenario is a defense that is so strong it can carry the team while the offense is improving.
