The team does absolutely need to add another big bodied NT to round out depth. But it feels as though it may have moved farther down the Emergency Priority List for the organization than it has for the fans.
It could just be me, but I'm pretty intrigued by what Cameron Young and Robert Cooper...
Setting aside the semantics of whether we have the best WR room in the league or second best by a slim margin, I'm hyped to watch this already very potent offense take another step forward.
Ever since the draft ended all I can do is day dream about how filthy 3rd downs are going to be when...
☝🏻 This. The sharp organizations sign draft hedges. The fact that JS went out and signed Brown meant that we didn't have to reach for a C. Proactively signing Dre'mont and Jarran Reed meant that we didn't have to force DL picks.
Now the organization gets to use how the draft board fell to them...
He 2-gaps like a boss. And he will probably end up playing closer to 320. I know everyone is hard hung up on the one little soundbite from Sherm, but I promise there will not be a wholesale switch back to the 43. Odd fronts on early downs would make sense; but Hall is an EDGE that will play most...
We killed it. The team addressed every need outside of ILB, and I'm sure that will be shored up in UDFA.
I think PC/JS did an excellent job of navigating expectations and the way the board fell to them while really sticking to their guns in terms of drafting BPA.
I'm sure many fans and pundits...
I was absolutely expecting an EDGE with this pick, but I truthfully thought it would be Keion White!
Hall is an excellent and very, very versatile EDGE. He was a standout stud on a fairly poorly coached Auburn team.
Comfortable with his hand in the dirt and as an on-ball LB. An excellent pick...
Man. Hard to say if it will shake out exactly like that in the long run. But; what we did get was two absolute stud day 1 starters. One for each side of the ball.
These two picks really smacked of the "true BPA" strategy that JS had been preaching leading up to the draft.
This is fun af!!
Or...perhaps we will receive no data points with which to determine the direction the defense is moving from a front/schematic standpoint.
But, we did end up with the CB1 and WR1 from this draft! So there is that.
You know my friend, I think you and I are kind of arguing the same point from two different sides of the coin. I bolded part of your last paragraph because it was actually almost word-for-word what I said in the opening paragraph of my post you're responding to.
I think you and I both, and I...
I've gone a few rounds with a few different folks about this quote and it's meaning. My truthful and most respectful read on the situation is as follows:
I don't think that soundbite truly pertains at all to a wholesale scheme shift back to a 43 from 34. I think that that ultimately the defense...
Brother, I hear you. I totally understand where you're coming from on this. I know as fans most are ready to be done with Adams.
But it doesn't matter whether you, I, or anybody thinks JA will deliver ROI this season. It feels like the organization does believe that he can help them win inside...
This. His skillset has always translated best to a Mark Barron-esque box safety/hybrid linebacker. I agree that the Love signing is both a health hedge and a sign that they want to employ a Big Nickle with all three safeties on the field. I know it feels like a lifetime ago, but the Hawks were...
