Who knows what he is at this point. Jackson want quite like Albert Haynesworth after signing the big contract, but his decline has not been far off. Elliott also hardly ever saw the field as a rookie and is a complete unknown. I feel like Elliot got a lot of snaps but just didn't make any plays.

The analytics love Elliott but I have never understand why for that exact reason you just said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinebackerGod Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Our DT room is solid enough to win a Super Bowl with. The future prospects of this unit are a little bleak, but I don't really worry about future needs. We are set to win now and our roster should reflect that. We have a nice balance of size and athleticism in that room for the time being. Next year there will have to be a major reworking of the unit, but I'm not stressing over it this off-season. We have the luxury of ignoring DT, S, OL, RB, WR, and QB in the draft. Sure we could add a guy at those spots, but I wouldn't dream of it until we get a CB, DE, and LB. Those are big needs, especially the first two. We can't forego glaring needs for future needs on a team that's ready to make a run now.

At the same time you don’t pass over a superior DT prospect to try to fill a need. We’re in a good position where we just take the BPA. They just need to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Heard an interesting fact. Since 2012 here are the top 5 cheapest teams in free agency: Cowboys Steelers Seahawks Bengals Packers 3/5 teams are good at getting regular season wins, but no Super Bowls. You need to spend in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a toss up I’m guessing they will go with CB or DE just due to positional importance. I’m saying if they have a DT as clearly the best player on the board, take him. Sheldon and Jackson are FA’s after the season. Elliot is an unproven, at least as far as a starter role. There’s a clear need there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 2 of 4 spots are complete unknowns it’s simply not true. If worst case scenario happens and they suck then we are not winning a super bowl with them.

And how would drafting a random dude not be considered an "unknown?" Jordan Elliot is the only guy that hasn't been a quality starter at some point and he played well as a rookie. This unit is good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
