Drew Brees (2nd) Tom Brady (6th) Joe Montana (3rd) Warren Moon (undrafted) Kurt Warner (Undrafted) Jalen Hurts (2nd) Russell Wilson (4th) It's not how you enter the NFL, Its how you play when you get there.
So I'm even more convinced now of what we need to do. We need to pick our preferred weapon first tonight. Yes OL is getting more slim, but it's slim for everyone. 2-34 = weapon of choice, preferably a WR 2-58 = our top OL on the board (Ersery, Trapilo, Grant, Savaiinaea, Ratledge) 3-79 = luxury pick and especially would use this on a sliding WR we love (pass on Burden @ 34, grab him here if he's still there) 3-89 = top remaining OL/DL on our board (if it's a DL, grab one here) 3-99 = top remaining OL/DL opposite 89 So I'd aim to leave today with 2 weapons (including our most preferred remaining), 2 OL, and 1 DL. If we don't like the DL crop, we go 3 OL ideally from that group listed at 58.
Draft O-Line -- we have a crisis there! Don't overthink this or get cute! We literally couldn't keep Stroud standing against the Chiefs.
I'd be happier with Harris, Royals, Higgins or Bech. Bech continues to climb and now I wonder if he's come to far too fast to be real.
Its not that I don't like Burden, I just feel like hes more slot and thats not what we need. Ersery/Rateledge/Higgins/Tre Harris... Gimme a combo of those maybe?
Everything I read hed be better utilize that everything but a slot, but could definitely fill that role if needed
I get the idea, but I kinda doubt NFL teams think this way. They'll looking at a board and making decisions based on their grades, who's there and who they think will be on the board later. I don't care what order they take the players in as long as they add to the OL and grab a decent WR today.
He feels like a luxury, but I see the appeal as someone with a lot of playmaking ability. Gun to my head, there's other guys I would prefer at 34, but I wouldn't be upset if they took Burden there. He's the best player left in a position that's generally an area of need, and if they took him, they'd have to have an idea for how they'd want to use he and Kirk on the field together.
To me it's Ersery, Savaiinaea, or Ratledge at 34 and then a WR or TE Arroyo at 58. Ideally we obtain 3 OL, Arroyo, and a WR tonight.
I'm hopeful that we'll get 2-3 quality OL tonight. It's a MUST. We arguably have the worst OL in the league as of this moment.
