CBears019 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I’m kinda at the point now where i really dont care what position group they take at 1.9 (assuming they stay there). OT, DL, CB, hell even RB. I’m gonna be excited regardless. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have a QB or you don't in this league. And if you don't, you have to do what you have to do in order to get one. Though I hope for Carolina's sake, they choose better than we did when we took the Biscuit, since spending the draft capital and then missing can cripple your franchise for the better half of a decade. Philly and Rams got through it okay. Rams went to SB in spite of QB and Eagles win with him on bench. It sucks, but isn’t death sentence everyone assumes. Cleveland decided to horde all their picks and passed on QB to stack up talent and it didn’t work either. Years later they spent all picks on same QB they passed on. I think you take your shot if you like a QB and they are within reach. They are too important not to. If you miss, you miss. The journeyman carousel is the mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiffing on a big trade up is not a death sentence. Teams survive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would help the line and open up the offense even more. 1 hour ago, Madmike90 said: I really really hope not…it would be totally against Poles long term vision of getting quality players at pivotal positions… Love the player but we don’t have the luxury of taking an RB that high. I'm kind of with dafreak here... we seem to be a run-based offense and adding a player like Bijan on a rookie deal, in this offense, could be outstanding. Of course, this is assuming we address OL, DL in free agency to a satisfactory level AND someone like Jalen Carter doesn't fall to 9.

G08 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 This is an incredibly deep EDGE class, we can find quality players with both picks in round 2. We can address iOL in rounds 3+ I wouldn't hate it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Or would you rather draft Peter Skoronski at #9 and have him play LG? Do you draft an OG that high not named Quenton Nelson? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again the positional value is just not there for me at guard…might be good this season but if we are thinking longer term which I believe Poles is then this leads us back down a Roquan road.

I think we're set at WR so I'm not interested in drafting another one in the first 3-4 rounds. I think we address RT and 3T in free agency, so in the draft I want to draft at least one EDGE and one interior DL. Maybe even two EDGE if the right player falls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rule out a WR if a good one falls into round 2 but I'm not targeting the position specifically. I hope Tyree Wilson is available at 9 but I doubt that will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not do top 10 but I was down for paying for Saquon or Jones so I'm not scared if investing heavily on a RB. Herbert is a damn good #2 but at this point that's really what I see Monty as too. I don't believe any DC actually worries about either of them. Get a playmaker back there with Fields, I'd be happy with Robinson or Gibbs, since Gibbs' speed and receiving - combined with Fields' legs- would be a nightmare for defenses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Today is a good day. Hope to see us trade down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Stats can be an arbitrary thing to look at but if Jahmyr is valued higher than Bijan for being all purpose instead of pure runner, there was only a 100 yard receiving and 1 receiving td difference between the two, and Bijan averaged 6 more yards per catch than Jahmyr. In the debate of which could help our offense more in multiple facets, I think it might as well just be a coin toss between the two. If we find ourselves with either player, we can’t go wrong. Jahmyr’s biggest advantage over Bijan is speed, but Bijan’s vision and elusiveness is unparalleled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have absolute faith that Avila, Mauch, or like JMS would be just as satisfactory and available in the second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I do have to say, I’m happy we for once are the team gaining assets in a trade down instead of the usual of getting fleeced to desperately move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
