That and his age make me wary Previous Message
But we’re exactly on the same page. I did some work last night looking at the DTs and as you mentioned, it is horrible for 3 tech-y guys. Previous Message
They need an edge, a DT, a center, and a safety.
Depth at safety makes me think that’s round 2. Treydan Stukes there would be excellent.
Center should be a round 3 addition.
DT class doesn’t at all fit what DA wants.
Edge falls off massively from 25-50.
So i think it’ll be DE in the first.
I really like Zion Young, but he’s not getting you pass rush.
Keldric Faulk feels super DA-y.
TJ Parker could be the most 2-way DA DE at that spot.
Malachi Lawrence would be a big swing for pass rush.
I would love (if our doctors are ok with it) Jermod McCoy. He’s a top 10 talent, but his knee might not make it 5 years. Previous Message
What I want to see most: Bears trade down
What I’d be happy with: Bears take McCoy or an edge
What I’d really prefer they don’t do: Draft a safety or OT
What I’d hate: Trade up, WR, off ball LB, TE, RB
What I expect: Bears take an edge Previous Message
Welcome to the Outlier Draft.
The best players? All at "non-premium" positions. The 3 guys I think that can't miss are a running back, a safety, and an off-ball LB.
The prospects at premium positions all have a major flaw. The best pass rusher has T-Rex arms. The best offensive tackles might actually be guards. The best QB thinks whole milk is spicy.
Trying to figure out who goes where is a dart throw. Well, to be fair, it's always a dart throw. It's *especially* a dart throw this year, ok? Trying to figure out which team is going to be ok overlooking which weakness is going to be damn near impossible.
In the thread below, I'll make some posts about my thoughts on the different positions to get into more specific discussions on players.
