Todays game is a good ex to not pass on Oliver if avaiable


Recommended Posts

While this team has many problems todays game was a great example of the need for an elite interior rusher.  I know many here are on the trade down train,  and i hear yas, but I'm on record for not passing up an elite talent if available,  which we currently have none of.  Bottom line I don't pass on Oliver or Bosa if available.  Snag a couple recievers and oline in free agency and keep drafting bpa.  Of course i believe we need quite a bit of coaching changes as well but i don't feel like going there right now lol

I would be pissed if we took Oliver.  We’ve spent enough on defense and that’s not what’s losing games for us. 

 

We are 3rd in the league in sacks. 

 

We have to score points. 

 

This team needs talent wherever they can get it. It would be a mistake to pass on a more talented player simply because you’ve convinced yourself to take a specific position.

Indy showed exactly how to trade down this year.  They got extra picks and were able to move down a few spots and still get a premier player at a position of need.

 

So you can't really judge on trading down until you see the draft board v the other teams' draft position and needs.

Are you serious?,  our offense needs help everywhere and your looking at DT.  Every position on offense is hot garbage, Shady will be 31 and i say first 3 picks in draft should be on offense.

Exactly. Defense can help but offense will determine wins and losses in most playoff games

That is correct. That is why you trade down and get two or more talented players

You dont taje boa...you trade down and get some picks.  Generally if you pick successful players they can be drafted at 5 or 25 and get the same impact.

 

in basketball and hockey the odds of players drafted in these spots having the same impact is near 0.

 

buffalo needs help at..

 

1. OL

2. Speed WR

3 future RB

 

sure you want to add depth on defense.  I don’t see the need to use hi picks on it.

DT imo is not enough of an impact position to warrant such a high pick unless you're getting Aaron Donald 2.0 and in my whole existence watching football as a fan I've seen about a dozen who warranted that high of a pick but most don't live up to it.

In a perfect world, yes. This FO has invested too many resources on Allen and need to get him help to see if he can be the guy ASAP. The Jets were desperate for a QB and the Colts got a great haul. Teams will probably not be willing to pay that high a price for a non-QB though.

 

In the scenario where a trade down doesn't materialize however, you don't pass up on an elite talent like Bosa for example for an inferior offensive prospect.

I personally wouldn't give this dumb regime another draft to blow... Terry needs to prove he's serious about this franchise... FIRE the mofos!

 

How have we "blown" the past two drafts? I'll wait.

DTs don’t win games. If we are picking that high you either take a QB or acquire at least 3 first round picks. 

 

Dont be the New York Giants, it doesn’t matter how good the defense is. We should be drafting and olineman in round 1.
