Not drafting the best player on the board would be the Bungle move.
You have no idea where the NFL will be in 5 years. What happens if the premier spots on the line are considered to be OG and C?
It's easy, you take him, you have him for 5 years with his option. Then you have the tag. That's a 6 year deal below market price.
Lord only knows if he makes it that long. People act like all first rounders are 10 year lifers in the league.
Question....?
what's our #1 weakness...?
offensive line is WEAK.....
how best to fix it....draft the BEST O-line players EARLY....
who's the highest ranked O-line player this yr..?
OG Nelson....
we can keep him 6 years for sure....
in rd #2 look for the best OC or OT left on the board....
here i'd prefer OC....
if we want to have an improved Offense we have to fix the O-line.....if we don't want to fix the O-line then why even field a team...? what will the team be striving for....? sign junk players & just save money...?
what's the point of trying to just lose games, b/c we refuse to sign the best players...?
if our team makes drafting mistakes, then we should change this flawed approach...
look at the Steelers....in rd #1 they signed Pouncy, then in a dif yr they signed DeCastro....
they KEEP THEM LONG TERM...
they can run the ball & pass the ball & control the clock....
this formula wins games & championships....
why don't our fans see this...?
most ppl should understand most games are won in the trenches....
look at our offense....we cant do shit......but many ppl don't want to pick the best players to fix it...
YOU, have been bengalized....accept flawed thinking...now your mind is corrupted...b/c you are fine w/ this approach....
you want to fix this team...draft Nelson in rd #1 & the best OC on the board in rd #2....
keep them like the steelers do....
it will bring us championships...
or we can repeat our way....& SUCK..!!!!
