Oh look, a bunch of shite organizations that drafted a RB without a QB. Very similar situations to ours.

I think these organizations have terrible culture and suck at drafting.

I like Tate but not at 8. In most normal WR years, he'd go 20-30. He also gets propped up due to Ohio St bias.

Dan wants to take a OT so we can concede that the OT we picked at 1.14 in 2024 is really a Guard.

Bruh. Your comment was that the big bad RB makes those guys better. Are you now saying those guys didn't indeed make the others better? Did you forget what you were arguing? How much success did those RB's bring those teams? You straight up just provided a counter argument for your own opinion.

You should just stop.

That would be a much better scenario than drafting a RB without having a plan at OG. Whether you like it or not doesn't really matter, its still better.

I want Downs and not OL unless Fano is somehow available. If they are both gone than DL still makes more sense than RB.

RB doesn't make sense and WR doesn't make sense unless we plan to trade Olave.

I don't mind picking a WR in the 2nd if we keep Olave but you don't pay Olave AND take a WR #8. Especially without addressing the OL.

tell that to the bengals. Build the team through the trenches on both sides of the ball. Need to find Cam’s replacement.

Hoping we trade back. We don’t have a ton of picks and plenty of long term holes. Take the best offensive player available that isn’t a QB or TE. Load up on both lines with the extra pick(s). Profit.

I do like Tate and at #8 I wouldn't be mad if the top 3 or 4 defensive players are gone. He excels at contested catches which Shough has shown the ability to put in good spots for the receiver.

You know what is a homerun pick? Someone that will have more than 60% snap usage and not have to rely on another position for success.
What kind of logic is this? OL needs skill player teammates to actually score points… Is a safety not reliant on a pass rush to speed up how much time a receiver has to get open? RB’s aren’t the only position that relies on others. It’s a team game.

Long gone? It’s extraordinarily rare for a safety to go in the top 7. The highest safeties ever drafted are both at pick 5 and Downs isn’t Sean Taylor.

I’m ready to just draft Downs or Bailey. I could be talked into Bane. Take your WR and TE/RB in the 2nd and 3rd

Whatever happens in the draft and free agency we are in good position to win the division.
