Ya, I agree man. I mentioned that is why we cut Hargrave, Collins and Floyd.
But I'm not sure what we can do about it. Relying on a bunch of rookies isn't the best strategy. But it seems to be our only solution.
I'd love for us to sign Calais Campbell after the draft. He would immediately shore up our run D.
And for the record, this is the mock draft I posted in the sub forum
1.11- Derrick Harmon, DL- Oregon
6'4, 315
-Explosive 3T. Destroys double teams and wrecks one on ones. 39 pressures this last year. Instant starter who team will have to scheme away from. Put him next to Bosa to take on double teams freeing up Bosa with 1 on 1's. Let him attack gaps on passing downs and create pressures all game long.
2.43- Landon Jackson, DE- Arkansas
6'6, 265
-Elite run defender. Rangy and nonstop motor. He has improved every year. Day 1 starter and elite edge setter. The pass rush plan will come by year 2 and he will be a force.
3.75- Demetrius Knight, LB- South Carolina
6'2, 235
-Instinctive, sideline to sideline range. Big, tough and physical. Character, field dementor, leader.
3.100- Alfred Collins, DT- Texas
6'6, 330
-Best run defending DT in the class. 6'5, 330 pound immovable object who will demand a double teams. Instantly upgrades our brutal run D. Offers nothing as a pass rusher but that's not why I want him on this team.
4.113- Jordan Phillips, DT- Maryland
6'2, 315
-20 year old with arguably the most potential among the DT class. Elite explosion and dominant run defender. Not much of a pass rusher yet but when he puts it together he could be a game wrecker.
IMO Harmon is gonna be the pick, possible move down depending on who's will do come up and who else is available.
Much rather take EDGE and James Pearce Jr if we have to stay at #11. Hell even Mike Green.
Not big on Harmon. Rather have Sanders, Norman Lott, Farmer, West etc over him.
If we have to go Harmon better be at 43 if he falls and I still wouldn't love it.
