I'm inspired by Pacheco & the Chiefs.  Get a RB in the later rounds.

 

5th/6th Round guy…. 
 

Deneric Prince. RB Tulsa, I think he’s a sleeper and could go early round 5. Great size 6’0” 216 lbs.  Ran a 4.41 40yd dash. Strong lower body.

Eloquently put but we’re not trying to win the off season but trying to replace crucial pieces we lost. KC and Cinn needed to revamp their O-line and got the best FA tackles. We’re just as capable of getting 2 or 3 good players as they are. Hardy was an OK pickup but he’s coming off major injury. We lost arguably our best defensive player and our 20 million edge rusher along with our starting RB. If Hardy works out, he is a slot to replace McKenzie but weren’t we trying to get deeper in the secondary and at receiver. After #27 in the draft which should be O-line, are you confident #54 or #81 will make a difference. Remember we’re chasing KC and Cinn, we should be better than last year.

 

I get the concerns, and I wish we could do more too. But we really don't have the cap that Cincy & KC have.  Both of those teams have lost more players than us (I just consider Edmunds to be a loss).  

 

Hyde & Miller are both coming back. That's like getting 2 top FA's.  I think we're better than KC as it is.  Cincy, I'm not so sure - I think we're on par w/ them in terms of talent, but they just seem to be a bad match-up, going by a pretty small sample size. I think the biggest move we made to catch Cincy is moving on from Frazier.  A more aggressive defense where we press the receivers at the line might work much more effectively against them.

 

I do think we can get some difference-makers in the mid-rounds of the draft.  I could actually see us going O-line more in the 2nd & 3rd, where you can still get good starters at that position, and possibly going WR or MLB in the 1st.  Or, if Bijan Robinson falls to us, RB.

Check out the teams on our schedule and factor in Rogers and the upgrades by the Dolphins. Miller is 34 and coming off an ACL. I’m not counting on him coming back 100% or being ready in September. How about TE, I know the draft is deep at that position but it just points up how many positions need to be addressed.
