Very un Eddie D like.

Eddie D's tiny azz would've beat up Lynch and Shanny before he fired them

So taking a guy who went 206th would've been a better choice at pick 100?

I like that we got a lot better at defensive line. Interior and edge. Also added LB who is a playmaker to the front 7. Also added some speed at S which is needed. Some WR speed added and a RB for depth. Some good things.

But in no way can you honestly watch our offensive line play the last few years and think we don't need anything there. We literally waited until 7th - 33 - 249 overall to pick our one and only offensive linemen. He is big and versatile. But talk about putting offensive linemen on the ignore button. Wait until the second to last pick we have. We need a lot more of these guys. Early and often. LG is a big question mark. C is sub par. LT is getting older and may be gone to retirement soon. We have McKivitz who is not great but has improved. The one young STUD is Puni at RG. This is not a great offensive line though. It falls into shambles if TW is hurt and has in the past. Same if he retires after this year.

You are not a serious team if you put the offensive line on total ignore button until the 2nd to last pick. I think you need a new regime before they take offensive line seriously.

Yeah instead of that worthless WR pick they could've picked an offensive lineman at the very least for depth.

I am generally very optimistic coming off drafts. After taking time to digest this draft, Honestly, it is disappointing how it seems every year we neglect the offensive line more and more. Then in a year where your OL is in a even worse state then at its end, coming off a year with clearly terrible offensive line play, and all you do is take one guard in the 7th round all year. It is going to take multiple years to fix this OL and you are not going fix something if you don't take shots at trying to fix the problem. We have had a QB on a rookie contract for years and still neglect it, while other teams are constantly making moves year after year trying to improve their offensive line because it is critical to success. You might not fix it, but you sure are not going to fix it not addressing it. We had 11 picks and, we draft only one Guard in the 7th round? I like that we addressed the defensive line but I just can't understand why we wouldn't take some chances in the middle rounds on OL. Instead it is the same type of skill position clones every year. My gut instinct was to fire Lynch this off-season and to take more of the personal decisions away from Kyle. This draft didn't give me much confidence that I was wrong.

Where guys get picked sometimes don't relate on field... I'm not convinced that Stout will even be a back up on our team vs Lundt being a back up / swing tackle on one of 32 teams. We're more in need of oline backup than CB at the moment. Stout is not a starter, not even on a bad team depleted of CBs, which we are not.

We currently have 3 guys by the first name of Tre along with 3 or 4 other CBs on the team (not including Green/Lenoir), most of them have NFL experience that can help right now, not a project who has to jump to get the cereal box on top of the fridge

Most of those guys have huge question marks. Only corners that can be depended on are Lenoir and Green at this moment. I have my concerns on the player but secondary adds are important.

Raiders taking Grant at 99 really screwed the 9ers. Don't think not taking a guy who went 106 picks later is at issue however. If you were making the argument about Mbow I'd be more inclined to agree. He definetly should've been the pick at end of 4th.

Perhaps you're right, but there are a bevy of guys sitting there and now we have 7/8 guys battling for 3rd CB spot

I would've loved Mbow. We have Hennessy backing up Brendel and two dudes trying out for backup OT and Bartch / Z / Barford begging to be guards I HATE the raiders!

Sign Wills. Talk to Saints about Erik McCoy after June 1st. OL looks a lot different if you do those 2 things.

I kinda have a feeling that your thinking here is in the works, someone may get signed from now till June cuts.

If not, then they must really feel that JB / Hennessy make significant improvements while they settle for others to step up for swing tackle

PFF ranked us dead last with a D grade for our draft

Any OL would do lol

I wanted to improve as much as the next person, but our biggest weaknesses were-

1. Special teams
2. Run D
3. Receiver separation
4. Tackling
5. Oline

I think they hit most of it. I've seen ALOT of of guys I wanted turn out to be not much. A couple did hit (Creed Humphrey and Zack Frazier come to mind), but more misses than hits. It's the sad state of Oline develop leaguewide.

Given how trash our defense was, that's moronic.

OL is good. And can be easily fixed when necessary.

PFF is effing lame for this comment... not their first and last thoughtless comment

Now, if they are saying that because we didn't do much of anything besides one dude on oline, then I get it
