Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)

[Alvin Walton]

With the season over I'm not so worried about the run anymore.
Reworking our TE staff and Alfmos replacement should fix that.
No to mention a healthy Oline.

[Bucket]

Nothing wrong with being pass focused on offense. I actually prefer the commitment we did to spread the ball out past 6 weeks.

Would of been nice if CT stayed healthy the whole year. He really fit the offense the best going down the stretch. Oh well.

[Alvin Walton]

Yep, he will be a Texan/49er/Cowboy/Eagle/Brown by the end of March.
We wont get squat for him.
What a feckin waste....
And to think I told anyone who would listen that he would win us three super bowls....
I was wrong when I .......

Thank you. That's let's me know it was a good draft.

The S and TE would have been reaches the way the draft unfolded and I'm a BPA guy I don't reach.

[SFREDSKIN]

This would great if it did happen.

Don't need a TE. We have Reed and we have Paul coming back. No reason to draft a TE. Our biggest issues are on the defense by far.

We know the injury history of Reed and now Paul is coming off a major ankle injury. We also witnessed a major problem with the run game with a non blocking TE a contributing factor.

While I don't think TE is say a top 3 round pick...certainly taking one to develop, play special teams wouldn't be a bad pick

Paul had a pretty bad break, who knows how solid he will be next year.
He was a good player but no Mark Bavaro.
Tight ends are the new #1s.
I'll bet my left nut we take one before the seventh pick.

I'll bet your right nut we'll take one.

Amazing that we're on year 2 of the McC regime and people still don't realize he doesn't draft for need. Let me put it like this: If you need a safety but you scouted all of the safeties and decided they were either overvalued (i.e. teams will be reaching for them) or none of them were that good why would you take one? Sure, maybe your plan of action is to grab a guy in FA or trade for one but those both fall through, so then maybe you grab one in the later rounds as some backup insurance, but that would be a last case, desperate scenario in case all your better options fall through.

Now on the flip side, this tight end class might be one of the best in history, but you already have a baller at TE and you have more needs so you don't want to waste a pick. If you haven't realized by now that McC would rather grab a TE that he likes vs. a safety he's not sold on, then you apparently haven't done your research on McC. From day one he's said he drafts BPA. Occasionally we'll get lucky and the BPA will fill a need, but if it doesn't I have no reason to be concerned. Not a single member of any draft class is guaranteed to give you equal returns based on draft position. So if it's a crapshoot you might as well pick the guy you think has the best chance to succeed long term. I trust McC's player evaluations, so I have complete faith in him. If he decides to go punter with the first rounder, I have complete confidence that he's done his homework and has decided that's the best player to draft.

The problem with that online draft is that it presents the user with some unlikely scenarios and he feels compelled to take advantage of them. I really don't see either Robinson or Thomas being there for us in the first two rounds.

I like your picks of Boehm and Hogan in the 6th and 7th rounds, respectively. If those two were to fall to those rounds, I'd be pleased to have them.

True. First Pick gets better with player rankings as the actual draft approaches but even then like with any draftsite, they're just making their best guesses.

Its still fun tho...

[Irrefutable]

lets start with possible free-agent signings first, then we can do mock drafts

I think they can get a veteran center, TE, S and maybe more in free agency
