Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 09:53:19 PMI don't get it. Coming into the draft the defense was clearly better than the offense and we chose to use three of our first four picks to add to the defense. I guess they're just lanning on winning games 14-10. Not knocking adding Burns, Nubin or Phillips. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Specifics? Who did you want? What position? They got the best WR and in the opinion of many the best player in the draft and followed it up with who many think was the best Safety in the draft. There were a few good CBs left in the early 3rd. They are not going to get one worth a damn tomorrow.

Now if you want an upgrade at RB, TE, or G, you can get one tomorrow. What do you want?

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 10:02:23 PMWhy do posters take a short term view of the draft? This draft isn't about next year, it's about the next 5-7 years. Jones is gone at the end of next year. It would be nice to have a competent offense ready to go for the next guy....

Are Nubin and Phillips ineligible for play after this season?  If they can build a top level defense this season, with young and talented players under contract, then that defense should still be top level in 2025.  This team had a lot of holes on both sides of the ball and they filled a couple today.  I don't think we can ask too much more than that.

Adoree had 6 career interceptions and 28 passes defended at USC to Phillips 0 interceptions and 6 passes defended. Hope he turns out to be a player but we don't need to overhype every draft pick.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 26, 2024, 09:59:08 PMThe Chiefs won the Super Bowl with defense.

The Giants added heavy O-line, RB, TE, QB in free agency

I expect a RB and maybe TE tomorrow

They had a top 10 offense too....

Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on April 26, 2024, 10:00:19 PM2 of 3 picks but I'm a little surprised rd 3 was a defensive player and especially because it was another DB.

He used our second round draft pick to trade for Burns. So three of the first four went towards building the defense.

They Got a younger cheaper Adoree. Seriously, height, weight, high angle IQ, solid run defender, Possesses elite hinge fluidity, and can turn on a dime to reset his hips and recover.

Guy sounds and looks like Adoree.

Quote from: Gmo11 on April 26, 2024, 09:58:27 PMWhether they draft an OL or a RB or another WR in the 3rd round they are still going to be stuck with Jones which limits how effective that offense can really be.  There are no limits to how good this defense could be though.  They needed a safety and they got the best one in the draft.  They needed a CB so they got one of those.  You hit the nail on the head:  Their best chance to win games next season is going to be to win them 14-10.

2 of 3 picks but I'm a little surprised rd 3 was a defensive player and especially because it was another DB.
