The defense has to face Rodgers, Luck, and Watson on the road in 2018 never mind the divisional opponents. Upgrades are still needed there.
if we want a decent qb, starter or backup, stop drafting them in Rd 7. Brady was a once in a lifetime at pick 199Most mocks that I'm seeing have 4 QBs going in the top 10. I've stated that we should get a QB in round 1 for many reasons. If the QB we like is gone I would love to see the FO get as serious about the offense as they were about the defense last year. We can turn this around and turn a weakness into a strength.
Rond 1-Q. Nelson, G, Notre Dame. Finally, a hulking killer at LG, right next to Tunsil. The left side would would be a force. Forget finesse, let's knock people on their *****!
Round 2-C/G Billy Price, Ohio State- I was begging for Pat Elflien last year but for some reason the FO thought they could win with journey men on the 0-line. That didn;t work out at all. This kid is a plug and play RG and Pouncey's replacement when he's finally finished, with that hip, it could happen any time.
Round 3- TE-T. Fumagalli, Wis- We need a TE who can move the chains, be a safety blanket for RT, block and be a legit seam threat. I love watching this kid play. I see a Whitten kind of athlete who catches literally everything thrown in his direction. In my book, this is a big piece of what the offense lacked last season. The question is, will he be gone, I hope not, watch the Pats draft the kid!!!!!!!!!!!
Round 4-N. Chubb-RB, Georgia-a great steal in the 4th imo. This kid is a perfect complimentary back to pair with Drake.
Round 5-D Goedert-TE, S. Dakota St.-That's right!!!, double up on TE, that's how important the position is, just ask the Pats. 2 star rookie TEs inserted into this line up will be a game changer. We can do all kinds of 2 TE sets etc
In 6 and 7 get a QB, maybe Jake Browning, he had a big career and finished 6th in the Heisman voting. Maybe Gase could groom this kid into a quality back up or who knows.
There's a kid on UCLA, LBer Kenny Young, he's a good player on a crummy defense, he has leadership qualities.
So how does all this better our offense? I'm glad you asked.
QB-R Tannehill/ J Browing
RB-Drake, Chubb, Williams
WR-Landry, Stills, Parker
TE-T Fumagalli, D Goedert, Fasano
LT-Tunsil
LG-Q. Nelson
C-Pouncey
RG-B. Price
RT-J. James or J. Davis
The improvments on the o-line and TE will make this an offense that is tough to stop on the ground. That means we come out in the 1st quarter and assert dominance from the beginning. We power it with Drake and Chubb and then it's play action time! This team is starving for talent on the o-line and TE. I believe that a draft something like this turns those weaknesses into a strength. I'd trade all our picks for Fumagelli, Nelson and Price, these 3 guys make us a much more potent offense, exciting to watch and hard to stop.
The D is pretty stacked with young talent and some real quality young talent coming back from injury. Let's stock the offense the same way and at the same time, keep RT healthy. Our Coach has mad skills on the offensive side of things. Let's build a potent offense for him. Then let's see how he does as a play caller. I suspect he'll kick **!
How about removing Parker and getting a true #1 to play with a #1 slot.I would get rid of Landry and get a legit wide receiver to pair with Parker. Landry is Davone Bess on steroids.
I agree with this - please don't mess with jesse Davis- the kid is a converted DT and PSquad player with little experience. He finally found a spot and did it well. Don't assume he can play other positions. Allow him improve at RG and pencil him inLuckily the qb is getting upgraded.
That's too high for Nelson too, He's not as good as DeCastro was and he fell to 24th..OG don't get drafted like that..Also Davis played great at LG..That needs to be his position for the future.
