  1. I would be okay with drafting Kelly today and giving him a shot. Let chad and Cardale battle it out. Better QB is the 3. Put the other one on the PS. If you loose him, you loose him. Kelly is an early round talent and if it works it would be worth the risk. If it doesn't, oh well. It's just a 5th.

  2. Ragland isn't slow. Faster than Kiko Alonso.

    i was going to just kind of breeze right by this...I'm not sure how to prove or disprove this statement. But I would expect you might not find another person on the planet that thinks Ragland is faster then Kiko. I mean, I was going to let it go and just assume it was some sort misunderstanding...but come on. Kiko is one of the fastest LBs in the league

    His point is there are players still available ....UDFA and this draft....other ways to acquire more players

    so the plan would be to start an UDFA or 4-7 round draft pick and the most important LB spot on the team? That's an interesting take. I mean if we are looking to sign a current street FA, there are almost no quick LBs available. The time to do that has pretty much come and gone. If we are going to trade for one, my guess is they would have done that before the draft. If they are going to wait for a vet cut. I'm not sure a LB that can run and cover is just going to shake loose. The LBs that usually get cut are the old, slow, 2 down ones that won't help us in any way.
  3. The simple fact of the matter is you cannot fill every spot on the team with a well known veteran or early draft pick

     

    and you cannot fill every spot in one draft

    from what I'm saying we literally needed 1 more guy to do that. How is it a simple fact that you can't ? If we just signed zach Brown we would have done it. It's really nothing that's impossible. If we find a decent guy to play WLB from now until September, we will have done that
  4. As much as I hated Duke Williams as a Safety, I always thought he should be locked in a weight room or a buffet until he put on 25 LBs and became a new aged MLB. He was real aggressive and was fast. Wasn't afraid to hit and could cover well for a LB standards. He was a terrible Dback but I always wanted to see the Bills try and convert him into a small fast LB like the cardinals use.

  5. We will run more 5 DB sets then 3 lb sets

     

    LB is not as important as everyone thinks

    I understand that. That's why I said our base defense will be a nickle. As in 5 DBS. The issue is that leaves 2 LBs on the field and one of them has to be able to run and cover. Out of Brown, Ragland and Alexander...none of them can run IMO. That's the issue.
  6. To this point, I would have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the offseason. If the 3 guys we have drafted already can come in and give us something...we may only have 1 true "hole" left. The WLB is a very important part of the modern defense. Considering that our base set will most likely be a big, versatile nickle. My guess is we won't have Brown and Ragland as the only 2 LBs on the field. Both guys are probably to slow and certainly having both on the field would cause all sorts of coverage issues. Does the current staff view one of these guys as the Will? Or are they going to actually start Humber? My thoughts all along were that we would play Ragland at MLB, Lorenzo at SLB and draft a kid to play WLB. At this stage of the draft, finding a starter would be unexpected. Is is possible that Humber or Preston Brown can be our WLB for opening day? If that's the case, I am a little concerned about backs sliping out of the backfield and shallow drag routes killing us. I have enjoyed the offseason to this point. I just personally wish we made Zach Brown more of a priority and may have had to sacrifice The Lorax to do so. Maybe I would have been a little quicker to take a LB and lived with our OT situation. Maybe I'm missing something more obvious with the position or maybe these coaches hold Preston Browns athleticism in a slightly higher regard then I do?

  7. I don't get how people are saying there are so many good defensive players...but then saying you have to take one at 10? If it's such a deep defensive draft, then you can wait. If you don't take a WR at 10, you are going to end up with the worst WR group in the nfl IMO. I would hope we would have learned our lesson on what that looks like by now. When all you have is Sammy, you either will be completely screwed once he is annually injured. Or teams will just roll coverage on him and nobody else will beat them. I want either Watson or one of the big WRs at 10. I suppose Howard would be the same idea but I would personally prefer to not pick a TE when we have 2 good ones already. Plus he probably won't be there.

  8. I'm good with Seymore and Darby. I don't want us to waste an early draft pick on a corner. I think our biggest issue was the man coverage. Start Darby and Seymore. Go out and sign Corey White again and go with the guys we have now. To many other holes to keep drafting CBs. I'm tired of the cycle. If corner is important enough to draft in the first round every other year, then stop letting the good ones walk.
