He fits every McMetric for this defense. 6’ 200 lb corner that excels in zone, likes to tackle, ultra competitive, senior, team leader, ball hawking skills, and his best traits are awareness and work ethic. I have a hard time seeing them passing on that kid if he’s there at our 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will get a better idea after the combine & FA when we can really look at the needs of the 21 teams in front of us. I'm certain Beane will move around to make sure he gets his one of his top WR targets. Just quickly looking at some mocks and where talent lines up, CB actually could be BPA at 22 Just now, Joe in Winslow said: Still cringey to me. They REALLY need to invest resources into the offense, even if it means ignoring the defense for an offseason for the most part. We better not draft CB in RD1 (and I am no way for it - terrible move). If Bryce Hall or one of the top RTs is sitting in the late 30s-40s, I would move up for that. As of now, the talent level looks good for those positions (CB/RT) right there with some additional depth below that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chandler's Hands Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The good news is that CBS has one or more new mock drafts almost literally every day from now until the actual draft. I think they keep doing mock drafts after the draft is over. Don't put any stock in these things. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Dupree is a hot and cold player who will drive us nuts. I'd rather take Chaisson and spend FA money on Yannik or another Edge DE.

Would love Tee Higgins. Dang, with that run on blue chip WRs so early, the DE pick makes sense. Otherwise, we're trading up to get our WR (which wouldnt be a surprise either). 24 minutes ago, B-Man said: That's when you try and move down 2 or three spots for some extra picks to use. . We have 9 picks already. How many more does Beane need? If anything, I'd expect Beane to use them to move up to get a WR so he doesnt ahve to pick CB as BPA. Wtih the cap space we have, we can afford to trade away some picks to get our guys, and fill in the blanks with FAs. 2 hours ago, Bob Chandler's Hands said: The good news is that CBS has one or more new mock drafts almost literally every day from now until the actual draft.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 4 hours ago, Joe in Winslow said: Respectfully disagree. Ignoring needs for BPA leads to bad things. It's a sliding rule. In the early rounds, especially the 1st, you want to lean more towards BPA. Then you focus more on needs as you move into the 3rd round and beyond. And bonus if the 1st round BPA happens to match one of your needs. Reaching for needs early is how you end up with 1st rounders like Erik Flowers, Donte Whitner, and Aaron Maybin.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Lol...I see the BPA vs Needs senseless argument still persists again...new decade, same story ha BPA is not LITERALLY only the best player available REGARDLESS of need. Every GM in the history of all sports on this entire planet has team needs and areas of improvement built into BPA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 16 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: Easily beane's worst draft pick Wouldn't say that yet. I think he will be pretty good once moved to guard. Point was, everyone said last year "No way Cody Ford lasts to the 2nd round". A lot of people said that too about Dalton Risner, DK Metcalf (I was one of those people), etc etc. Its impossible to say who will or wont slide to where at this time of year.

Prickly Pete Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 7 hours ago, Bob in STL said: The scenario is the prediction that Epenesa falls to us. If he is there at 22, which won’t happen, we should take him and look at WR in the 2nd round. Moving up was not the original discussion. If we are talking moving up then it’s possible an offensive player would be targeted. At 22, I doubt there will be a need to force a pick in either direction. The offense needs help, it's not hard to figure that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again - if you're moving up and down the draft board to match the value, it's fine to draft for need - where you run into trouble drafting for need is when you pass up value where you're picking, i.e., where you take a need position that you could've gotten later.

Maybe next year we can have the #1 defense while scoring 18 pts every week. That'll be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
