They should have, and I do agree with you there.

Again, I wanted to Nakobe Dean, I'm not saying this is the best pick, but I don't think it is the worst. I mean this is not Belichick picking a 3rd round guard at the bottom of the 1st round bad.

We needed an impact player there. We need starters this year. That was a luxury pick for a team that can't afford it.

Now if Payne gets traded and we get an extra pick, I'd probably like it more because he would be a starter at that point. But as of now he's a backup rotational piece. That's not good enough at 47 for a 7 win team.

It's not good enough at 47 for a 7 win team. No it's not.

Oh I don’t think it is a bad pick at all. I love solid depth especially in the trenches. Its where we picked though.
It is the thought that we could have dealt Payne for picks, made Settle a starter, and used the 2nd round pick elsewhere. We would be better off. It is like someone said, they seem to be making it up as they go along.

Totally agree with this. Ill add though that on top of the Payne for picks aspect, Settle could have been the starter and that second round pick is freed up. I can’t really make too much sense of that whole scenario- even if we keep Payne - than yeah this guy could be talented as hell but 47 for a part time player is meh.

Taking Conmand of completely fucking up this pick. So ridiculous.

[Chief X_Phackter]

"Ron Rivera wants to build up lines/keep strong; they rotate their DT's quite a bit so Mathis wouldn't just be a "backup." Doesn't mean they have to trade Payne. Need a quality rotation. But if they keep Payne and he leaves after '22? You have two dudes.

I'm a big Brisker fan and I know they liked him. So to pass on him and take Mathis says something. As always, time will tell.."

Yep. Saw that on Keim’s feed as well. Hopefully these picks pan out.

Dotson also surprised he was drafted early

If you’re going to reach for a player, it should be a QB.

[SFREDSKIN]

They should trade up in the 3rd and snag Dean.

[vallin21]

At this point, I’m hoping not to hear our 3rd round pick tell the media he and his agent expected him to be picked in the 5th or 6th round. I don’t know whose asking that question, or advising the players to disclose that.

Nobody wants these Qb's lol.

Bye bye muma

You know things are bad when teams are willing to roll with Drew Lock, Sam Darnold, and Mariota.
