I want to keep Sombrero but we better draft someone to give him competition in round one, whether that's Juwaan Taylor or Cody Ford. Then go out there and get a mean sumbish in the second round and draft guard Chris Lindstrom and sign a guard in FA (quinton Spain or saffold). I want a dominant OL whatever it takes.

Duke Riley sucks

I don’t want value at OL any longer.  I want quality.  Go and break the bank for three top tier OL.

I’ve always been in the school of thought that football games are won and lost in the trenches. It all starts up front. Build the lines. Build a team from the inside-out rather than outside-in. 

Would’ve been massive reaches on draft day. Plus, we had a starting OL in tact at the time as well.

We have the 6th best record in the NFL over the past 10 seasons.

Charger's. Would love to see Rivers and Gates get a ring. 

Anybody but the Saints.

Long in the tooth with a long injury history. That's why Irvin is here and I hope we retain him
 

I'm 50% disappointed and 50% hopeful, if that answers anything.

3 former offensive coordinators for the Falcons all working on the offense.  It’s either brilliant....or too many cooks in the kitchen.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
I loved Matt running the no huddle under Koetter.  Looking forward to seeing that back.

I feel like you, but if this OL isn't fixed, it'll put an even larger microscope on this move, which is basically DQ's project.  I'll give it 2 seasons of mediocre ball (not that I want to see it) and DQ and company will be gone. 

I'm 50% disappointed and 50% hopeful, if that answers anything.

Good grief...

I'm 50% disappointed and 50% hopeful, if that answers anything.

I was going to make a thread about this. We have won the most interesting makeups of a staff that I've ever seen in the NFL. Our quarterbacks coach is a straight up West Coast guy all the way. Our tightends coach who may have a say in the running game (reading between the lines of Quinn) is a strait up power run game coach..... and the offensive coordinator is a vertical stretch guy who likes to attack a defense down the field.
I don't know if it's going to be a genius pairing or a failure but it should be entertaining to watch

That's true, but you have to remember the situation we were in @ OL when that draft came around.
Matt might not have made it through another season healthy afterwards.
I think it was unanimous that we needed protection on the left side to start with.
THEN we could focus on D.

Got a couple questions for you all to start:
- how many DTs have been picked in the top 10 in the last 5 drafts?
- as of late, how many DTs go in the first round on average?
If you answered anything but 0 to the first question - whoops. That's right. The last time a DT was picked in the top 10 was freaking 2011.
As a matter of fact, just over 2 DTs usually go in the first round. The most recently has been 4.
Just saying.
Looking at mocks and I just can't see it shaking out how people think, with 4 or 5 DTs going top 10. Last time I remember projections like that being made was...what, 2013? Saw Floyd, Richardson, and Lotulelei all mocked top 5. Instead they got picked at 13, 14, and 23.
What about this last year? Vita Vea was a lock...dropped to 12. Donald went at 13. Poe and Cox went at 11 and 12. It's a trend for DTs and safeties...look at Derwin James (17) and Malik Hooker (15). 2017 didn't have one DT drafted in the first.
So, the next time you try to convince someone that we should've tanked because all the good DTs are out of reach now...remember. Quinnen Williams falling to 14 wouldn't be unprecedented. If anything, it's more likely than 2 or 3 guys going in the top 5 (or even 10).

Why would anyone want a player as selfish and with as much baggage as Grimes on their team? Am I wrong remembering that playoff game (I think the one we lost to Giants) where there was speculation that he chose to sit out to avoid injury in a contract year?
Our mistake was to tag him, which to date has been his highest per-year career earning.

He wore out his welcome everywhere he went. His wife got into it with Chad Henne in Miami and got literally cursed out by the fans.

Dude believes making $7Ms per season and getting asked to cover top flight Wr is an insult and nearly quit. I don't want someone like that on my team. 
Phuc Grimes.

That's an easy one. ALL of them.
