The Raiders - a team with needs everywhere on the roster - pick a tight end at #13. A ***** Tight End. 

 

Not a knock on Bowers. Good player. But this is soooo dumb. 

I think it’s a great pick for them.  They have the defense to beat KC, but not the offense.  Bowers is an absolute beast!

Its almost like these GMs don't know that "defense wins championships"


Yep. Chiefs defense was unreal last year in the postseason. Mahomes is great but their skill players were garbage, OT terrible and they won a Super Bowl on the back of an elite defense in the postseason.

The temptation is going to be too great to not  take a defensive player. There will be some studs there when we pick.

That's my fear to.  But the first 13 picks have been offensive players.  It's clear where the entire NFL thinks the priority should be. To take a defensive player in the face of this and after you traded away your best WR would be a risky move by McD/Bean - a very risky move.

It's fascinating how the "bad" teams are all going offense, which suggests the "good" teams will do what good teams do and happily pick the falling BPA defensive talents, unless...

 

...unless the 1st round just turns into the top 30ish offensive prospects getting snagged early just because.

Trade futures for Aiyuk and take the best defensive player on the board tonight.

I don't think we have the cap space currently to fit him in, they would need to make capspace

I don't think they do have the defense personally. They have some DL talent but their secondary is bad.

Usually it is because another team is also bidding for that pick and you think they will take your guy.  It is a defensive move to block anothetr team from taking who you want.  I think?

 

Thanks, I didn't "get it" either.  Wonder if the bidding was real, or "puffed up" by the Jets to make Minny nervous?

But you didn't like the Lions draft last year and they were the 3rd best team in the League

 

Drafts are not graded on an org's W/L record the subsequent season. That's not at all where the real impact can be measured.

Chiefs know the formula. 
 

Elite IOL + Kelce

 

They know officials don’t call holding on Tackles in the Playoffs, so they just need the receivers to step up a bit.. which they did. 
 

Their defense couldn’t stop Allen without his WR2 and knowing he needed to be perfect with our mash unit defense.

I think people are forgetting that Aidan O'Connell looked decent as a rookie who was thrown into action in the midst of chaos on that team, and is an accurate passer.

Colts going defense is my guess. A CB. But then again a WR wouldn't shock me at this point either.

I sure hope so. I could see them going BTJ though very easily.

Who do you have in mind, especially that would fit the Bills?
