I would throw Patrick Jones II into that group as a late 2 or early 3 player.

Add in the 17 players you listed as people you like for other rounds, and you are throwing out a bunch of names, hoping to be able to point back here when one of them does well and say you knew it. You are probably the guy at parties who everyone avoids due to being a blowhard know-it-all.

As far as Marvin vs. Galloway, give me a fucking break here please. Give either one of them the same QB and Marvin would still be head and shoulders the better wide receiver. Just watch the fucking tape, like you say you do. Marvin was better in every aspect of the game than Galloway. The bottom line though is that anyone who would take Jones over Lawrence is living in crazy town. Lawrence can take a bad team and make them better, Jones just fucking can't. Jones can go to a team like the 49ers or Pats and do well though. Remember that Shanahan wanted Cousins, that is who Jones is. As far as the rankings go, I will say that I really only watched Lawrence, Fields, and Jones. The other 2, not so much.

Jaff, I like you brother, but don't post when you have been drinking. At least for me, it hurts my brain.

For next year? That’s a pretty big gamble that a rookie is going to come in and solve your pass rush. Since 2015 five rookies have had 9 sacks or more. Four of them were top ten picks.
Odds are this is not going to happen. You guys keep acting like the draft is a sure thing and FA is a gamble. FA is a safer bet than the draft. At least you have performances against other pros. And we still haven’t even talked about addressing WR and TE. Irsay said he wants two more explosive players on offensive, don’t know how thats going to happen at this point. |

There is no perfect answer. There is no magic wand to make this better. But you make the decisions you wanna make rather than the ones you’re forced into. The draft comes you make a deal you move up to get the guy you want. Or you trade back and get more pics and find out there. There is no magic eight ball to give you the right answer. It’s a gamble it always has been. Chris Ballard is playing the long game. It sucks and it’s Chancey but it’s what we have. It doesn’t bother me because I’m not responsible for it. Every decision Ballard makes, could impact his job as in keeping it. We will just wait for draft day and see what’s coming, because reading Chris Ballard’s mind, it’s a lot harder than people think Last edited by JAFF; 04-18-2021 at 05:17 PM. |

I understand the concern about not having a dominating pass rush. I think it is a huge overreaction. First I am pleased as shit at how this defense has progressed under this admin. We cannot be run over anymore. That is a huge relief. Nobody physically dominates us on a consistent basis. I love that. As for the pass rush I just didn't see any Deacon Jones' or Reggie Whites' out there. The guys people are pissed we didn't sign will, except in a few unpredictable cases, will be not be people that are keeping offensive minds stay awake at night with worry next year. And they all were overpayed. You give a guy 2 million more than he is worth and you don't have that to pay Carrie. Ballard likes to draft high ceiling guys that take a few years to develop. I am expecting some return on those draft choices this year. I am hopeful one or two will get a light turned on. I would rather root for that than hope a guy who some other team didn't want, that we paid big for, suddenly becomes our alpha dog.

There will be a bunch of guys released after the draft and at the 53 man cut down. Value guys. Wait until the start of the season until you run Ballard out of town.
The finished body of work is what you should be looking at. Not when work still needs to be done. |
