Well, at least bore the shit out of them. As hard as Jolly Roger wants to keep football in the mind’s eye 24/7/365, now is the time for nothing. Mel Kiper’s head hasn’t even been exhumed and attached to a Disney automatron president and propped in front of a desk at ESPN headquarters.
Sure, we can keep up the QWillimas/Bosa/Sweat/Josh Allen talk, because that is what we got now. We WILL get a pass rusher with our first pick. It just depends on where that pick is. We do have a thin batch of picks this draft, and that kinda sucks. One thing Baalke was able to do was round up a lot of picks. Sure, he fucked them all sideways, but we stand here with 6 picks instead of the bounty we have been used to.
So, trading out is high on the list of to-do’s for John Lynch. If we can trade down and still get our guy (likely Sweat or Allen) then more power to them. This of course is predicated on the Giants and Raiders needing to deal with us or AZ.
If you believe the hype, AZ is all about Murray. Going so far as to floating Josh Rosen for a 1st round pick. Seeing as that is a complete non-starter, the whole thing may be just a smokescreen to draw the Giants into a desperate trade to get Kyler.
As it is for me, I’d like to see us grab:
- Pass rusher/edge guy
- WR
- Safety
- TE
- O line
- CB
If we can finagle picks out of NYG or Oak, go for it.
After a season of malaise and some incredibly bad losses they are rounding out nicely.
Heard Kerr the other day say, yeah, these guys didn’t lose like this 3 years ago. They are getting older. Sustaining te excellence they have been at for 4 years and a thousand playoff games is tough. There are games that they just are out of gas.
Ahhh good times.
Thing is, I think maybe 3 of those plays were designed runs.
Nice, I kinda forget how quick he was. He made some of those runs look easy and you know every defender was out to get him.
Yeah, pretty amazing that in all those runs he never really got clocked. And yeah, you know guys out there wanted to lay him out.
I would go with Bosa for our first pick. Juan Thornhill with the 2nd.
If Bosa is there at 2 I think we take him. I don’t see anyone giving us a deal that we can’t refuse.
If Bosa is gone, trade back if possible and hope for Sweat.
yeah, that would probably be the best thing we could do. But, our love for inside Dline just might shine through and we take Williams.
The raiders don’t want to deal with us
Gonna turn in my work for the OL as 1 bunch this year. Not seeing a need for OT this time around.
Thinking G/C for the most part….Pipkins could be a late RD/UDFA option as a swing tackle?

Sweat’s 4.41 is pretty insane. We could trade with the Giants and get him pretty easily. I’m with y’all though. It would be hard to pass up Bosa/Williams if there.
Qnd I could see us taking a flier on a center with our 5th (6th) pick, or UDFA one.
Teams are really gonna have to do their homework on Sweat’s heart condition. But he does have some great Numbers and shouldn’t last too long.
New thread is up.
