Wanted to wait till declaring day as I was extremely high on Derrick Brown (DL) from Auburn for our 2nd rounder. I thought that Derrick Brown would have gone top 20... surprised by his return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly thought top 15 player that would fall due to the dline depth. Maybe that’s why he went back but he is extremely talented and someone I will watch next year.

Joe Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The only thing I don't like about this is that Safety isn't addressed until Day 3. Justice Smith is incredibly underrated and would be a great change-of-pace back IMHO. VERY dangerous in the screen game and has excellent field vision. Irv Smith Jr. is the type of TE this offense desperately needs. Bring back Lewis, Tonyan, and...yes...Graham and we're set at TE both short-term and long-term. Not really a fan of Samuel, but I saw a good amount of him before his injury to be happy with him replacing Cobb. David Edwards not the best OT to come out, but he's the solid 2nd round player you want along the OL like Chad Clifton and Daryn Colledge were for us when healthy. Also, no need to get rid of Jake Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I too was going to question why we would get rid of Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Ryan wise...they have Morrison under contract. Do you really need two of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were a wash? I'd go Ryan, but I'm still not sure you need two of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannondale Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I lean breaking out of the 70's and getting LB's for this century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no need to get rid of Jake Ryan. Safety is addressed through free agency with Boston. Plus with Tramon coming back I would have him stay at safety. Harris is a solid and consistent player. An exceptional tackler but not as good as a high safety. I am thinking a solid back up for strong safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really did not get that much playtime over Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Someone posted an article from the Athletic that our defense was dead last on first downs. No such thing as first down LB's anymore. Teams will just torch you via the pass on first down. I don't care if it might snow in December. Time to break out of the stone age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an impact player at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
