Nine draft picks in a good draft.

Six picks in the first three rounds.

Three picks in the top 40. Have we ever had so much valuable draft capital?

Especially after seeing Chase Young in SF still not being able to do the most basic thing well…stop the run/gap control. It was exposed for everyone to see. SF will/has moved on signing Leonard Floyd. Plus with Chase Youn and Sweat in big contract year coming up and they were not excelling on the field, smart move by our new FO.

I like where we are and headed as a team. I have not been able to say that in a long time.

Fucking Dan Snyder is GONE in disgrace!

After we take our QB with first round pick….we pick OL, CB and LB all day. Or BPA.
The only trade I'm really on the fence about is Montez Sweat. He showed in Chicago that he can be a force, And I think Quinn's defense could really have used him. Young was definitely worth trading and Howell was clearly a good value for the trade.

bottomline, I don't think Chicago's pick can make up for Sweat's value. I hope this front office proves me wrong.

It makes up for it when you consider the cost of the contract and how many of the guys we have been able to sign using that cap, and more we will be able to sign over the next 3 years

Exactly. This FO and coaching staff is able to get their players.
Not the players somebody else wanted. What I see so far is they are picking up Dan Quinn’s and his staff’s type of player.
Plus they added veteran leaders like Bobby Wagner to help teach Dan Quinn’s system to the many young guys coming in from the draft.
That is so important.
