But seriously, I actually like this signing. If we're going to give Crowder more reps, he can be the slot guy.

My big question is.....when are we going to address the D Line.....a very mediocre D Line from last year has gotten worse....McGee and McClain aren't gonna fill holes

Yeah, I think Lanier could really develop. Interesting to note that Doug Williams was behind his signing.

He's still young (will be 24) and at 6'6", 280 he ran a 4.7 sec 40. He got some playing time last year, before going on IR, so I'm sure he's been able to slow things down in his mind now and will be even better next year.

Maybe not a starter, but definitely should help as much or more as any 8-10 yr old re-tread. I'd also put him ahead of most rookie DE's, so I wouldn't waste #17 on a highly rated DE, especially if they're light in the ass (under 260 lbs).

I really don't think we'll be that bad at DE as others do. It isn't all about sacks. Our D-line first and foremost needs to Stop the Run.

Our OLB's are good, especially if we get Gallete back and/or Preston steps up, along with Kerrigan, we should generate enough pass rush to contend.

i've heard Lanier is up to 290 now and all is moving very well . . . i thin he could not only become a starter, but a stud at DE . . . though i think it will take a couple of years for him to get to that status

Well, we signed them not only to fill holes but to lift the unit to be better than last year.

But, Ricky Jean is gone, Trent Murphy is suspended and is better at OLB, and we missed out on Bennie Logan.

Folks, that's a massive hole. We need to draft a DL 1 or 2nd round. No question about it.

I'm sure that's the plan for the draft, DL. From what we've seen in FA they have signed 2 DL, it will carry to the draft.

Manusky clearly said they were going to build the defense mainly via draft. This draft apparently has plenty of talented DLs, so yeah, they'll draft at least one DL .

Hard to assess his catch rate, but it's a warning sign for sure. He had bad QB's throwing to him - Goff/Keenum. Here's an example of a badly thrown pass, not sure if it would count as missed catch or bad pass. Anyway, hope we didn't spend much on a backup WR with gaping holes in our D-line.


It's really hard to plan to address a specific position in the draft, I'd prefer trying to fix in FA as much as possible first. For example, even if we want to draft DL, if great talent drops to us -- ie. if a top RB (Cook) or top LB (Foster) --- we may skip DL for a few rounds, and be stuck again picking up scraps for DL. Somewhat like Leonard Williams, I'm sorry no matter what anyone says, getting a probowl OG is NOT the same thing as a top tier DT, shoudn't have passed it up and may have been a need pick at the time.

That is at least partly a function of terrible QB play.

In our offense, with our line, the other targets around him, and with Cousins at the helm, Quick can be the exact same player as last year and his % caught will go up dramatically.

My thing is that the only way Quick does much of anything for us is if Doctson isn't healthy. And that would be bad news overall.

Still, another big body. I can see Quick being an asset in the red zone if we spread out 4 or 5 wide. That is an obvious focus this offseason.

I don't mind looking at the bright side, but if he's Rod Gardner 2.0 it will reflect poorly on us. Still I believe the players around him will allow him every opportunity to excel.

Well, we definitely got taller at WR for this season...

Pryor 6'4, Quick 6'4 & Doctson 6'2.

Crowder (5'8) is gonna look like the only smurf out there.
