Louis Friend Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 Disappointing second half. Anzalone is bad. I hope Melifonwu isn't injured. We need receivers, safeties, linebackers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagahide13 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Goff has all the talent in the world but you can really see that there could be something missing. Maybe we can get him on Adderall. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The lack of WRs is a huge issue IMO. These guys don't get open regularly and have very small windows to put the ball into. St Brown has been disappointing but again, he is probably a #3 playing the role of a #1. Same with Cephus. Would be nice to have some playmakers in there. But the defense is the biggest weakness for sure. LBs are bad, CBs are bad, S is bad, and pass rush is super disappointing. Flowers and Okwara at OLB are about as big of a waste of money as anyone in the NFL two games into the season. We need about 7 new starters on D, so hoping they can have some roster turnover there next offseason and find some WRs too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehardlionfan Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 They faired better than I expected. The Lions are pretty much what we thought they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they don't have the starting talent to overcome mistakes let alone the depth to overcome injuries. I could be in the minority but I believe that even if we finish with a top 3 pick, we should be targeting someone like Thibodeaux as opposed to drafting a Rattler/Howell/insert QB here. Goff was playing well enough to show that he isn't the biggest issue on the roster. The return of Decker and some WR's should help the offense become that much better. We're down to PS guys all throughout the secondary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a bunch of solid slot receivers but we have to force some of them to play outside and that's just not the best role for them. Even Cephus and St-Brown are probably best suited as "big slot" types of guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do I want a cb, or a wr. I want a dline hog molly who can get after the qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibodeaux and Hutchinson are definitely where I would be looking based on how bad this defense is playing (also Kyle Hamilton). With the Rams pick there might be a good opportunity to grab a wide receiver, like Justyn Ross or Garrett Wilson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A WR might be good, but I'd really like a stud LB there. Wouldn't mind another good looking DB there either. Hard to argue against a good WR there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you estimate they're going to be a top 10 or top 12 guy, build out the roster, adding depth and talent. We can then draft someone or trade for a proven guy and plug him in to a solid roster (as the Rams did with Stafford). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The guys I am most interested in at the top of the draft are Thibodeux, Kyle Hamilton, Stingley Jr (if we end up 5th or 6th), and Hutchinson. I really want defense with our top pick and wouldn't be mad if the first three were all defense, if we sign a WR in free agency. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
