Crabtree, Davis, Bryant and Morgan would be utterly insane. Please don't quote the Lions. To re-iterate...The Lion's problem was drafting BAD receivers, NOT drafting too many good receivers.
With 2 first round picks, this may be a luxury we can afford.
I don't think there's any chance he falls, but just want to gauge how people view need vs talent
Crabtree, Davis, Bryant, and Morgan would be INSANE!......if we had a OL to block long enough to give them the time to get open.
until this team shores up the OL, we got 8-8 over and over and over again. period.
im so glad you guys dont run this team. people make fun of Al Davis for drafting like this.
The line issues will get worked out. I'm all aboard with taking Dez at 13 if he's there. Like I've been saying, he's one of those special freaks you don't pass up.
Besides, Josh Morgan did nothing last year to impress me. He's a far weaker link than most people here are identifying him as. Crabs and Bryant make each other megastars if we take him.
lol what? the line issues will get worked out? how, by magic? "one of those special freaks you dont pass up on". you mean like VD and Crabtree? we still finished 8-8 because our OL is horrible. wake up dude, we dont need any more playmakers, we need some anchors on the line.
But what do you do if the best player at a skill position (Haden, Spiller, Bryant, etc.) is sitting on the board and the 4th or 5th best linemen is all that is left? Because that is the issue we could end up facing.
If there's a stud lineman then that would be a no brainer. But should we reach for a guy just to fill the need if the guys that we like (i.e. The Big 4) our gone?
were in a spot where we have to draft for need this year. we just traded for Ginn, so Spiller would become just a backup RB. we already have a stud RB, so using the 13th overall pick on a backup who would at best be a timeshare guy in a couple years is a waste.
i have no issues with Haden because its a need. we need OL first, DB second. i think its fairly clear that this teams major focus should be the OL. statistically speaking our line was one of, if not the worst overall line in the NFL last year. with young talent like we have, its inexcusable to let the line continue to be a joke.
every year we put off fixing the line is a year of playmaking talent wasted around the ball.
we are in total agreement that we need to fix the OLine. To me its more of a question of how we do it. If the big 4 are off the table then we will be in a major bind. At that point the BPA vs Need questions start in earnest. We may need a tackle but if the value simply isn't there what do we do?
Reach for a guy who we might have valued as a 2nd rounder just to make sure we come out with someone? Trade back? Do we try and trade up if there's a run on Tackles before we pick?
If Bulaga or Williams or Davis drops then it should be no problem, but whats the plan if (when?) they are not there, I think that's the most interesting and potentially most important question to be answered today. What does the team do if none of the top-tier tackles drop to 13.
