"Lay off the weeeeeeeeeeeed". guy, i cleary stated the LB was ARGUABLY our biggest need. And You essentially say the same thing in your response too saying OL was "considered by most" to be our biggest need, which is true, however many others would argue LB was our biggest need. Couple that with a draft like 2019 that was very deep at the tackle position i thought we couldve done a much better job than waiting to address that need in the third round and most importantly which is more to my point, only really in the third... deshaun davis was never gonna be a problem solver. we had plenty of oppurtunities to load up at the position and nab guys like Mack wilson and we didnt which was piss poor, couldve grabbed david long jr who looks good in tennessee, cashman whos playing well for NY the list goes on. Now i love the jonah williams pick as i think he will be a stud again and it addressed one of our biggest need if not the biggest depending on who u talk to but i just think only really making a move at linebacker in pratt in the third really hurt us.... we couldve done alot better job by addressing one of our biggest needs through out the draft espeacially with Wilson being right there for us round after round. now pratt could turn in to a good player as well we sure havent seen it. we are getting torched on defense as i expected based on what we didnt do in the draft. and imho the LB issue would of had a much better shot of being fixed if we wouldnt of waited til the third to address it and then late in the fifth or 6th with deshaun daivs. thats not saying we shouldve gone linebacker in 1 over jonah williams.... thats simply saying we couldve done better in the second 4th fifth etc which couldve fixed our linebacker situation...which is what this thread is asking.
