On the unemployment line.

We have Barmore.. just his health is a question mark. Vrabel needs to go after 2-3 guys in the draft on defense and trade for Simmons please!!!!!!!

Does this make Graham more likely at pick 4?

Carter

 

[Huckleberry1]

The two best offensive lines and defensive lines are in the SB. That’s not a coincidence. Yeah, KC has Mahomes, but Hurts isn’t exactly a superstar QB. He’s competent. I’d like to think Maye can at least reach the competent level, and if we can get similar OL and DL then maybe we can be the ones meeting the Chiefs in the AFCCG often in the near future.

I agree. I think they need to be looking at the rebuild in a two year plan. They can get a lot done this offseason, but not everything. I think their major investments both in the draft and free agency should be on the OL and Defensive Front 7. Turn those into strengths and then address the remaining issues.

IMO it really depends how the draft falls, what the do in FA, trade, etc,

Not trying to cop-out of answer but just don't know. They have so many needs.

Let me rephrase. Forget talent for a second. If the pick is defense, does Graham better fit what they did in Tennessee or does Carter fit better?

Graham

...kills me to say it as my middle daughter is a Soph at Penn State and my youngest is going their this fall.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Good. Let's hope it begins with the depahtures of Notso the Fraud Clown Wise, lip-smacking doGchow & the piece of **** Jalopy.

I was about to say — after reading the article and the scheme, those are exactly the 3 players who would be on the outs. And we might see a major focus getting an all-around LB this offseason.

Graham

That’s my thought too. Especially if Barmore is a question mark. That said, if there’s enough DTs, they may roll the dice on getting one later in the draft.

What if they think Carter can play the Micah Parsons role? Seems like that would be very useful in this scheme.

Carter in the first Dline later.

Yes, but they might want to build a stout line that can handle run or pass first?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Certainly. Look no further than Harold Landry in TN when Vrabes was there.

My preference is a DT that can collapse the pocket.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Carter in the first Dline later.

As @RobertWeathers said, it probably depends on what moves they make in free agency first.

Jerimiah seems to think the draft is stacked with them.

He's currently putting together his top 50 and there are 16 in there.

Right, so easier to go Carter or offense with 4 if there's a chance to find guys who are mostly equivalent of Graham elsewhere.

 

[dliverey44]

Why

In 2021 Alabamas OL allowed alot of sacks and despite Brian Robinson having a ton of yards and TD's, much of it was because Robinson was just a good runner. In 2022 and 2023 the Saints offensive line was bottom 3rd in most OL metrics. He is also a reported ****.

I hope I am wrong and will gladly eat crow if I am.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

No thanks.

Not a good coach Stonie
Just was judging by a few of the players success per se
Was he not so good and more of Josh coaching them up
I have no clue
