The logic behind wanting a CB in the 1st round

If Brady had a decent OL then I doubt he would have been getting rid of the ball so fast. You have to be adaptable and that is what the Pats have done so well. One week they run the ball and the next week they throw it 60 times. This is because the players are smart enough to adjust and the coaching staff trusts them enough to make the adjustments.

Do we need to improve the secondary??? Of course we do
Do we need to improve the OL??? Of course we do

Just because we have tried to improve the OL and failed in the past doesn't mean that you stop trying to improve it. We have to protect our franchise QB....that has to be our top priority.

IMO a quick throw offense is what fits Mariota the best. A vertical passing game is not his game. But we still have to have at least 1 WR who can run by the defense and be a true BIG play threat. Otherwise it makes it too easy for the secondary to shrink the field.

If Tunsil seems to be the next Orlando Pace then you take him
If Ramsey is the next Polamolu then you take him
If Bosa is the next Watt then you take him

If I had a young QB and had a choice of drafting one of those 3 studs, I would have to go with Pace.

We all get too caught up in the high draft picks and act like stud players can't be found later in the draft. What we really should be worrying about is getting players who can contribute with our 3rd-7th rnd picks.

 

I like signing a #1 CB and drafting Ramsey at FS. That improves the secondary from below average to at worst, good, and likely great.

 

Now you're calling Hargreaves a workout warrior?

So a guy who's been labeled as the best cover corner all year, and played corner his entire collegiate career, is now a workout warrior if he performs better in position drills against a guy who's played Safety the majority of his career?

JC, you've lost it man.

 

Ramsey at 1 or trade down get another 2nd..still draft Ramsey, trade back into 1 take Elliott

Sign vet at RT over Tunsil

No to Bosa

 

Ramsey is going to own the combine

 

with all the Wentz talk i'm hearing, I'm starting to believe we may actually get to trade down!!!!

 

Ramsey at the moment has a higher draft grade than Hargreaves from every discernible source that I have looked at. Ramsey has been reported to be "versatile" and maybe due to that distinction more valuable. Nobody has graded Hargreaves as being the best player in the draft, but many have said that Ramsey is..... that point being made, I would love to have Hargreaves playing in Titan blue too, it just ain't in the cards for us. It is Tunsil or Ramsey- we have beat this horse to death, I can't wait for FA to get here and see what we do. We won't know squat until then.

 

Only thing is, those 3 players aren't in a vacuum. We can sign a RT or LT in free agency to solve the OT problem. We are also strong at DE - it being one of our deepest positions. What we don't have a is a great S nor a great CB AND we can't sign a great CB in fa and I doubt we can get a great youngish S in free agency....unless you count Gipson as GREAT!

Webster was fond of messing up our First and second and third round picks. We can be worried about these because of that. Hopefully Robinson will do far better!!!
