We're gonna get a heck of a defensive player in the 1st round


Recommended Posts

No matter how you slice it...somebody really good is gonna fall. Jaylon Smith, Ogbah, Ragland, Lawson. Two of those four will very possibly be there at 17. And there's a possibility that someone like Kevin Dodd or Billings will be there when we pick in the 2nd round. There's just a ton of defensive front 7 talent in this draft. I sure hope we get it right this time.

I hope so. I don't think there is any doubt they go defense. If there is a Peria Jerry in the first round, TD will find him, that is my concern. Hopefully the FO restructure gets results.

Also, if Billings makes it out of the 1st round i'd be really surprised. if he made it to us at 50, we take him and I sh*t my pants out of sheer joy. I'd be ok with him in the 1st (but Jaylon is my hope).

the pipe.. put it down lol. No way it happens, but yes, if in the .001 chance he makes it to our 2nd pick, then we'd automatically win the draft.

I think you mean put down the pipe to OP, I agree that he won't make it out of the first round. And I still stand by if he made it to pick 50 I will sh*t my pants with joy. Literally.

Bosa, Ramsey, Jack, Buckner, A. Robinson, Lawson, Hargraves, Billings, Nkemdiche, Ragland, Smith, Reed, Rankins, Ogbah, Spence, Floyd

We are getting one of those guys...and that's an instant upgrade to our defense...

My Board:

1. Bosa / Ramsey / Buckner

2. Jack / Smith

3. Lawson / Ogbah / Spence

4. Billings / Rankins

 TD is sorry he can't predict injuries. Why don't you go ahead and tell us who will get injured this year?

Why would I tell you that? That doesn't even make sense. 

Is your snarky comment suppose to indicate a defense of dimitroff or that I'm unfairly singling out a player that never succeeded due to circumstances beyond his control?

As long as he remains here, we stand a better-than-average chance of getting Troffed somewhere this off-season. I'm only half-kidding. My hope is Quinn and Pioli can out-vote him in critical situations.

Pioli did when he tried trading up for Matthews. I think Pioli is huge for this team and in a couple years we may well look at him as the reason for the Falcons drafting turnaround.

My Board:

1. Bosa (Jags) / Ramsey (chargers) / Buckner (49ers)

2. Jack (dolphins) / Smith (Bears)

3. Lawson / Ogbah (Giants) / Spence (bucs)

4. Billings (saints) / Rankins

In bold are the teams I have those players going to in my latest mock. I think Rankins and Shaq will both be available. On a side note, I see Spence overtaking Buckner and Bosa by the end of the combine.

I'd go LB. A pass rusher opposite of Beasley.

Really think this team needs to  grab a DT or a LB in the first round. Shore up the edge rush in FA. This team can't afford to wait around on a rookie DE to be a major contributor next season. Defensive ends usually take two to three years to develop.

 

And I have a hard time seeing this front office massively screwing up another draft with Pioli here. Not saying we're going to hit on every pick. The odds of this team having a decent draft is automatically higher with his input.

And this is the Main reason Why I am in the "don't draft a WR this year", Camp! 

We can really get a couple or threesome of difference makers on Defense that we have sorely missed for over a decade.
