Yup.

Had the skills, lacked the savvy.

You can’t be a stupid safety. Blowing your assignment when you’re the last line of defense is just not acceptable.

The threw a zillion dollars at Chris Jones.

I don't know that they'd be drafting one that they feel is a complement to Chris Jones. I think they'd be drafting one that they feel is a replacement for him as early as next season.

With the idea that he is a rotational guy before then.

I'm not sure Mafe is even a fit for our defense. He's not really "on my board" right now.

It feels like we’re doing that to ourselves with edge rushers this year. They want their guy and have resources to do it.

It makes sense too. You have plenty of resources and edge rusher is a key position for any team. If we get a really good one cheap it opens up options money wise.

They can find corners and DB’s. They can find WR’s and weapons. They can find OL for the most part.

Seems like pass rusher, LT and QB are the only positions where they need to really go hard at their guy bc it’s so important and tough to find.

Quick question: Why is drafting 12 rookies "impossible"? Why isn't it considered viable?

Yea, but after Wyatt comes off the board, a future replacement for Jones at 3T seems kind of difficult to find.

I can see them taking a guy like Logan Hall, but somebody like Travis Jones?

As much as I love the player, I just don’t think it’s in the cards.

I’m also starting to buy a trade up being the plan for EDGE, so after that, I think our early picks are more likely to be WR and CB (assuming we have fewer early picks after the trade up).

Just trying to read the tea leaves here.

DeMarvin Leal and Perrion Winfrey are both Jones-like players in terms of skill set and ultimate production hope.

Winfrey I can buy, but Leal has had an awful offseason on top of a disappointing season.

I just don’t see it with Leal, but maybe.

The problem with Winfrey is, I don’t think he’s a 1st rounder, but I also don’t think he makes it to 50.

I could see us challenging that mark.

Unless a really good bargain is available to move up with, I still say the likelihood is to move down. With at least one of the firsts.
