Yobogoya!

100% If even one of Beane’s defensive picks was a DPOY type of player, a guy who can change the game even when the opposition does everything they can to take him out of it? Probably we’d at least have a trip to the dance by now, if not have won it all.

This is obviously a rebuild and reset year. I’m not saying we should have swung for the fences, but did we add the right prospects to have the strongest chance at top-shelf production? That remains to be seen. This was a very McBeane draft, and to this point they’ve been great at adding JAG starters and tier 2 or tier 3 guys. Really the only truly elite player they’ve drafted is Allen. (It’s debatable but Tre might have been that guy too, if injuries didn’t derail his trajectory). If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll probably get what you’ve always got. I like this draft myself - in theory. But I’ve liked a lot of McBeane drafts in theory and ended up very underwhelmed with the results. 🤷‍♂️

Not for nothing, but just about every draft pick in history was “promising” at one point in time, lol. Can’t say this lot is any more or less so in that regard, but I’ll give you that he definitely spread the love to multiple positions of need. See but that’s kinda the song that remains the same isn’t it?

I thought about giving up alcohol this year for my New Year’s resolution. I can see now I was right to not do that.

That’s certainly one of the signings of all time.

And how’d that work out? Also, one guy who snags just 13% of your team’s offensive snaps isn’t much of a commitment to over the top speed. You disagree?

“Game-breaking speed is overrated”, that’s what gran-papi used to say and he was a fella who knew about these things!

They don’t call it a “process” for nothing. Only question is whether you still trust it at this point… But love em or hate em, McBeane sure do stick to it.

But he’s going to a team where he can false start 90% of his snaps each game, so odds are in his favor to excel there

The first three posts I read on here about him were “anyone but Coleman” so now he’s ruined for me. 😭

We have definitely been lacking in the “go up and get it department”, and for quite some time now. If he can be that kind of guy, Josh will throw it up for him a dozen times a game.

I mean that’s just cutting off your nose to spite your face. This team needs top shelf talent, man. We need all pro level players that are t Josh Allen. I’ll take it at any position, even punter (tho not at this draft pick, obviously lol)

I agree, but the draft isn’t over after pick 33. If we take Dejean here and still get someone like Franklin later in the second, thats the better combination of value based on what’s left, you have to agree with that. If we’ve waited until now, we can still add a player soon-ish. We already missed out on the top end prospects. No undoing that. Now we make the best of what’s left.

Id take a realistic chance at a top 10 wide receiver too. Personally I would have loved to leap frog Jax for BTJ, but well here we are. Which of the remaining prospects is more likely to be a stud receiver than Dejean is to be a stud DB? And I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m honestly curious who you value at that level?

Haha, but even if that’s true.. Dejean seems like he realistically has a chance to be the 2nd best safety in football. Especially in this defense. Which of the remaining wide receivers seems likely to be a top 10 WR?
