That's crazy.
Why draft a player in the 1st round who is supposedly the 31st best player in the 2026 NFL draft and have him sit out?
Losing Super Bowl teams need improvement and not 1st and 2nd round backups who may never see the playing field.
the way the draft usually plays out, you get a better right tackle at 31 than you do edge... maybe you can find a good run stuffer at 31, or a lb, but it all depends on how much better...
Vrabel needs to spend less time diddling and more time tending the store.
Why... don't think the front office relies on what we say...
Moses has another year in him but the priority is getting the next guy ready learning behind him
I agree with this. Edge will have been taken in round 1, thinking an OT taken in rounds 2.. so to your point round 3 feels like a place where TE could be targeted... admittedly I have not followed to much lately of whos available I'll lean on your information for this of possibility at TE with round 3..
Here is the thing...maybe Edge is a higher priority...maybe it's not....but picking an OT at 63 would be reaching and picking an Edge at 63 would not. This is due to the talent depth in the draft for both positions. So a BPA purist would be reaching in round 2 for a T...and that's not a good strategy.
Got it. Well the post was thinking post round 1 with the thinking of presumably the team as indicated is targeting edge.. but to your point BPA is always a good idea as well. I just know like all us do that edge and OT are the priorities the team needs.
I agree that most often you want your first round pick to start, but there are occasional exceptions.
Agreed as usual jmt great stuff. I'm inclined to believe that provided we stay at 31 and not trade for a player perhaps. That the player we take at 31 will likely be a starting level player.
If Vrabel has that approach, why didn't we draft a QB last year?
It may have had something to do with the fact that Maye was somewhat untested in 2024, starting just 12 games, and they wanted backup QBs with some actual NFL playing time behind him with Joshua Dobbs and later Tommy DeVito.
Its always a risk. Look at josh simmons who lots of us liked as an oline prospect.
???
Yup. Easley also battled knee issues. His career faded fast. Hightower,Jones, Collins were 3 excellent picks that I can't even think of a draft year since then that netted us those caliber of LBs & Edges
If Campbell gets hurt again, we are counting on Bryant and nobody.
