KPass - 2nd - Dorsey pick, but Veach had a say and was in the room.
Kaindoh - 4th - sweet rookie year, bro.
Clark - trade - mehhhhhhhhhh
Danna - 5th - roster depth

OH JESUS

the best example. His very first pick.

I love Veach but daddy gots a flaw that needs a fixin

Why are we faulting Kaindoh for his rookie year? Were you expecting a raw, fourth round rookie to come in and light it up?

Also, I assume Spags is also signing off on these moves so why isn’t he shouldering some of this blame?

To be fair, since Spags has been here, Clark is the only significant investment they’ve made at the position.

This offseason could make or break him there though.

Having Joe Cullen will help.

While true….you would think that Spags would want more of an investment considering what he’s won past championships with.

I’m looking at this season as a mini reset. Use this as an opportunity to get younger and build depth. Let some contracts go next season.

This team is going to live and die by its offense anyways. Get a WR like Juju this offseason, along with a couple of younger DEs that fit what you want to do (Key for example). Go into the draft and build your defense using those picks in the top 100. Use your 7th rounders to grab guys that could be UDFAs that you might be interested in.

This team is too talented how it is now to go 4-13. We’re going to be in the playoffs more than likely. At that point anything can happen. Kelce will be back next year. Our defense will have more depth and be younger.

Well, not light it up, but even just look like he was roster worthy would have been nice.

I’m just bitter is all.

Would love to see a homegrown DE hit.

This is the year for it to happen.

My opinion of Spags is that he's way too reluctant to play rookies. In our situation going forward where we're up against the cap many years we're going to need rookies to contribute a lot more from day one on defense. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting. Bolton had a pretty productive rookie year, but even he had to take a backseat to Hitchens. Gay maybe might finally be fully up to speed now in year 3? Means you get 2 full years out of him before he needs a new contract, just doesn't seem ideal.

Our DL has been saved by a mid season miracle the last few years with guys like Suggs, Ingram and Pennell.

It’s crazy that our DL isn’t a completely dominant unit with how much we’ve invested in that position group the last 5 years.

Jones - 2nd round pick and big contract
Clark - 1st and third rounders and a huge contract
Nnadi - 3rd round pick
Saunders - 3rd round pick
KPass - 2nd round pick
Speaks - 2nd round pick
Kaindoh - 4th round pick

A first, 3 seconds, 3 thirds and a fourth in draft picks and 250 million dollars.

We are due a couple home run picks on the DL.

Probably wishful thinking, but a 4th round pick diamond in the rough like Jared Allen or Maxx Crosby would be nice. We've found gems late like Trey Smith, could use one of those on the DL.

I love Trey Smith.
I love Brett Veach.
I love that we got him in the 6th.
I love that we pulled the trigger when others wouldn’t.

But I can’t pretend he was a gem we “found” in the 6th. He was 1st/2nd round talent who had/has a scary blood clotting condition. We had the luxury of saying “**** it” and pulled the trigger.

Then change it to the next L’Jarius Sneed…

LDT
Fulton
Tyreek
Sneed
Fenton
Allegreti
Trey
Danna

That’s good useage if picks after the third round.

[kcbubb]

Bills have had the same problem. They’ve drafted 2 2nds and 1st on the DEs and still gave von Miller the moon. The odds are against any rookie coming in and lighting it up his first year. And we need dline now.

Hunter had 27 pressures and 6 sacks in 5 games after his neck injury and then he tore his Pec which should be fine. And hunter is 27. Von Miller had 41 pressures & 9.5 sacks all of last year. Von Miller is 32. Go get Hunter. His contract is good too. He should cost less than $15M against the cap each year for the next 3 years. He’s worth the risk.
