Yeah well Golden is now centered under the microscope.

Can’t wait to see what they gift us with in the 3rd.

I know everyone loves fantasy football, but we had a horrible defense in 2024, you answer is to ignore it and add to the offense.
I agree we need a guard still, at least one. Let's see how it shakes out. There are still 3 vet FA guards available.
Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!

From the comments at the press conferences , Al Golden had his fingerprints all over both picks so far

I personally feel this was a bit of a reach, but golden or someone else obviously valued him. Golden has seen Pratt in action and isn’t sold.
What I find surprising is they didn’t waste much time making the pick. It’s like he was their guy and they weren’t entertaining trade offers

Who are we trading with? Who was on the phone when you handed the phone to Duke?

All coaches are centered under a microscope. They guy who is most on the line in 2025 is not a defensive coach, it is Zac Taylor.

Why don’t we just use Mel’s best remaining players and pick one, we obviously don’t know what we are doing.
That didn't happen

I was actually fine with Burks and Wilson at LB plus they have two young LBers on the roster that have upside. I dont think they no what there doing when it comes to acquiring talent via free agency or draft.

He rejected the Saints entire draft, plus picks the next draft.

So far 2 defensive picks meaning IOL makes a lot of sense so i will rule that out immediately.
If we don't take a guard in the 3rd round, I am thinking just make the entire draft defense and then call up Scherff and Risner and give them as much money as they ask for.
The failures occurred in free agency. The frustration in the draft is just a by product of that failure.

Obviously they are letting Golden pick the guys he wants for his scheme.
You would think G in the 3rd but I am fearing that RB pick is on deck.

Fair. They did seem to run to the podium with this pick. I don’t pretend to know more than any other slapdick but they haven’t exactly earned benefit of the doubt.

So far both our picks are high bust probability based on for Stewart lack of real world production and Knight age.

the main thing consistent with these terrible drafts is Duke Tobin. Fans should be revolting against this clown
