TEAM CAPTAIN

Yes. You do have to wonder why not when you have all those 5's....

Fine for what though? "Fine" has not won us a championship.

We're a .500 team in the playoffs with an elite QB...that's not a good thing. We are not doing this right. We have been a playoff underachiever.

So like...we didn't stockpile all these picks to make any kind of move up?

Keon could end up being a really good player for all I know....but I really hope this reason isn't why we drafted him. And I love #17. But this is a guy that also wanted Ken Dorsey to be the OC. But that's not a slight. He's not a talent evaluator. Michael Jordan was the GOAT of the NBA but an incredibly awful GM. They are completely different jobs. Could someone be really good at both? Sure. But there is a learning curve for it, one that Beane and other evaluators have obviously gone through. Asking for his opinion? Sure. But I hope the pick was made based on people who spent countless hours studying these guys.

No, this is classic McD apologist propaganda. It's McD's team, and his proficiency is defense. Frazier was a coordinator under McD's overall defensive philosophy. If he didn't like what Frazier was doing at any point during that time, he could have worked with him to make changes or fired him. It is the most nonsensical thing to say that if Frazier was such a big problem, that somehow McD is blameless when he held all the power to make any change he wanted and kept him for years. And yes, the D did do it again last year..."but injuries". Again, given McD's history of postseason failures and chokejobs...we need to give Allen enough to put up almost a perfect game, because that's what we've seen is needed to beat the Chiefs with McD holding us back. Allen was GREAT in 2 of those games and we still lost. It's just not enough, that is again the reality of the burden of having McD here.

Because Josh is a great, generational QB. And for all of those numbers you just gave...what have we won? Here's a dose of reality...when the decision keeps being made to bring McDermott back...we KNOW we're going to have to score 30-40+ points in big playoff games to offset the massive liability that he and his defense is here. We know McDermott's D is going to give up big points in big games because that's what he does. We know he's going to make poor decisions on top of that. All of that is something #17 has to overcome. Even when he has and gave McD a lead with 13 seconds left...that wasn't enough for him either. So yes, we do need more weapons for him to be able to do that when it matters most. He has to do more than Mahomes or any other QB to overcome McDermott. This is our reality, it's been proven over and over and over again. When you take that into account...Samuel, Coleman, Shakir, Kincaid, and Knox is not enough unless you're just content with playoffs and losing to KC, which it seems like an inordinate amount of fans are.

Nope, I’ve never said this dude sucks. And I’m not a Franklin guy. I do think once again that we are falling short of giving #17 the weapons he needs and don’t understand the benefit of the doubt that Beane and McD are getting from some of you on it while McD and the high amount of resources he’s gotten for his defenses have let us down literally every single postseason and every single big moment.

I think that's equally as bad a take. This dude could be solid. The frustration is more so that we're headed for yet another season of underwhelming weapons for Josh to throw to. This has been going on for years. Yes, I know the offseason isn't over yet but people have also been saying that for years and then it's still not fixed. I'm not sure how Beane/McD get the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Let me guess, "Great pick! Wow, Beane's killing it! Can't believe this guy was still here!"

Oh he sold out as as shill for the organization a long time ago

4.45 sounds great now!

Did he actually say that?

What about this upcoming season though? We are severely lacking playmakers.

This guy is a project even if he turns out to be good down the line. The WR room even if you like this pick for this upcoming season is awful. We need a concerning amount of help still.

Couldn’t we have traded down to take this dude?

Give us COOP!!!

If it meant the rest of Josh's career here without McD, I would punt a year in exchange for that with zero hesitation

This is what people need to look at. Adding a 2nd round WR to this still puts us well behind other good teams.

I'm not gonna lie, I was absolutely ready to troll-post these if we took him at 28 and say he's going to fit right in here

I'm sure you can at least understand the skepticism. People here have been banging the drum about getting Josh better weapons for a long time now, and every offseason the front office defenders have said that we have players that will break out and that we have "enough". But it hasn't been, for years now. And we now lost Diggs.

That's at least good to hear. I thought I read stuff from other people here that they thought he was going to have trouble getting off the line in the NFL.

Isn't Franklin the dude who looked like he was drunk at the Combine?

I actually really like Sutton. Not sure if I want to extend him though.
