We will see defense is a bottom 3 team, we need to hit like 5-6 homers in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will add a QB,TE, RB and OL from draft to compliment it Defense has better scheme fitting players especially in secondary. Epps, Facycon, Shelley and Long are upgrades. Linebackers need some help from the draft. Overall hit on some players and we have a base for improvement I wouldn’t rule out a bounce back season for Chandler Jones. Everyone is counting him out but don’t be surprised if he return to form or close to it for some impact 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tae and Jacobs numbers could go down. Maybe I’m wrong I ain’t buying the bs. Hooper solid but he’s not a threat like Waller. I watch almost all the 9er games and I think Jimmy sucks. Just hoping the system makes him look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper is an ok TE. Howard is not an improvement over Moreau. No idea where the optimism has come from on defense, Billings, Perryman, RYS, Harmon have thus far been replaced by Jenkins, Spillane, Epps, Facyson,pure homerism to suggest we are better the defensive side of the ball at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a viable future in which our d-line improves in the draft if we don’t do something insane trying to get a qb. There’s fantastic edge rushers and DTs I like throughout the draft. I think our safeties are serviceable… In regards to corners, I’m worried about the group as it stands though this article is a pretty good fluff job for that position group if you want an optimistic view: https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/amp/small_names_big_games_david_long_and_duke_shelley_join_the_las_vegas_raiders/s1_16460_38621487 I’m cautiously optimistic that we can improve on that abortion of a defense from last year. However, the big red flag for me is at linebacker. Our group is terrible and I think this draft class is terrible at the position too.

We had a bad defense last year, at this point I don’t see how anyone could argue we have done anything to improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he could be cut after the season. So I'm hoping he does return to form. That would be dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a year like last year his career is over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to write him off but it wouldn’t surprise me he becomes a solid contributor and hopefully difference maker next season I definitely agree. The only thing that concerns me is that last year he had 3 of his four sacks in one game and the year before that he had 5 of his in one game. He has juice though and is in a system that is not a foreign one for his career. I’m ready to absolutely move on after next year though, and we are in a good position to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Jones was close a number of times, but lost a step. we had no push in the middle last year so qbs just step up . . tough to close full speed when the qb can just step up. we get any sort of pressure, and both Maxx and Jones could see way more sacks. or. . . just the team way more sacks and everyone takes them away from each other haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly lateral for sure. Draft will show where they land. A solid at Edge/CB would improve the unit dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
