All I know is they better prioritize a CB this offseason. Murphy is solid but I have no idea what to think of Evans and Blackmon. Safe to say Boothe is a bust?

CriminalMind Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I’d love to shock everyone, and the first contract agreement we have is with D Hunter, the earlier the better. i want first priority to be Hunter.

(Flores co-signs this message) I actually agree. Though I hope they can get a deal done with Cousins but if they can at least not have a glaring hole at edge, that opens up pick 11 to focus on QB or CB.

No, I wouldn't necessarily say that's safe to say yet, unless you anticipate him being a starter. That's probably not likely, but he can still be a significant contributor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Booth was a decent dice throw, imo. Sometimes those don't work. That pick doesn't bother me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably not likely, but he can still be a significant contributor. It just feels like we have several 3 through 5 CBs on the roster where it might be a numbers game for him. I can’t imagine they’d assume Blackmon and Evans to uncontested starters. I’d assume a FA may be prioritized in addition to an early draft pick. Which means your 4th and 5th CBs could be Evans and Blackmon. However, considering where Boothe was drafted, he’s a bust. He wasn’t drafted to be a reserve. He was essentially one of the two top picks that year as a result of a trade down. So yes a player taken that highly really should be a starter by year two or three. Cine is a much bigger bust but Boothe isn’t far behind him. At least Cine has the injury excuse but I don’t think it’s valid anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't fill every hole in 1 offseason and they've both shown periods of competent play as young players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babababa Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 How about Kwessi stop drafting DBs in the early rounds. He's done it a lot and he's not good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be talking about Spielman. In the first 2 rounds, KAM only took Cine and Booth. Evans, Blackmon and Ward have all been 3rd rd or later. Spielman took Gladney, Hughes and Waynes all in the 1st rd and Mackensie Alexander in the 2nd...and ended up being far more successful at taking them later (Bynum, Metellus, Epps (in Philly) and Kearse (in Dallas)) Edited January 10 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes I should have said early-mid rounds technically. So the early rounds are bad and the mid-rd picks have been mediocre (The Vikings secondary was horrible the final 4 games of the season) and/or non-factors (Ward). If you'd like to compare Spielman, Waynes and Alexander had good/decent years. Also you neglected to mention Xavier Rhodes. Gladney we'll never know as he's was a sad story. Even so, he had 1 good year of football with the Vikings. Hughes-sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 No Head Coach interviews so far, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Atlanta Falcons Seattle Seahawks Washington Commanders Carolina Panthers Tennessee Titans Las Vegas Raiders LA Chargers Until some more of these pieces fall, yeah he will not get much attention. Not every day you have quality coaches like Belichick just around, much less Vrabel and Jim Harbaugh. Who knows what Quinn wants to do or Anarumo. Slowik is the hot name as is Johnson but both benefit a lot from personnel they have offensively as well. Hard to dislike what Slowik has done on the Texans especially with their OL injuries. You take out those top three and that lists changes completely. Bill Belichick Mike Vrabel Jim Harbaugh Ben Johnson Dan Quinn Bobby Slowik Lou Anarumo Jerod Mayo: New England Patriots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I know it's a bit off topic, but I can see Jerry making a move to get Belichick. Instead of firing McCarthy, could he get traded instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
