    2024 NFL Draft Position/Tracker - Final Pick #2

    I know what you mean.  But I don't think its the "scouts" but mock drafters who aren't scouts.

     

    Playing very amateur scout on my end.  I think Fashanu and Alt for that matter too are very good prospects for reasons I expressed here.  They are getting beat up on the draft thread some but speaking for myself, i am not in that camp of seeing them as lesser prospects.  I really dig both of them.

     

    Fashanu has tremendous upside with freakish agility IMO and Alt is very consistent and in a good way with freakish length.  Both IMO would be really good picks.

     

    And as you likely know considering how much I've whined about the O line on the QB thread, I want to improve the O line desperately.  But I never look at the draft in the frame of the first round alone.  For example, I wouldn't have trashed their last draft as harshly, if they took an O lineman in the 2nd versus taking the first O lineman in the late third (basically a 4th rounder) -- and a player they said from the jump they don't intend to start this season.

     

    So essentially they did ZERO in the draft to help the 2023 O line.  And signed a couple of jags in FA and called it a day.  It was a pathetic effort from Ron IMO.  I wasn't that picky at the time.  Use one of your top two picks on the O line and sign one marquee FA and that I felt would make all the difference.  But they didn't do it, they did basically nothing.

     

    If they this off season use one or both of the high 2nd rounders on the O line.  Who?  I don't know yet, maybe Patrick Paul and Beebe or whomever.  Typically there are good O line prospects in the early 2nd.  And they sign a FA like Hunt and I'd be happy.  Look if they take it a step further and draft Fashanu or Alt, I'd be happy, too.  But I am not locked in to any prospect especially if they pick top 5.

     

    My only thing in the top 5 is I don't want another D lineman. If they went D line again, that would make this 6 out of the last 8 years to major in defense in the first and 2nd round in an offense dominated league, I want off of that script versus to try it again.   Part of the reason why I couldn't disagree more that Marvin Harrison would feel like Chase Young all over again is the obvious reason --- Marvin is an elite level college passing weapon in a passing league.  That would be us running WITH the league trend.   Taking Chase (who I was good with at the time) was running AGAINST the league trend on building your team on defense let alone adding to unit that already was loaded.

     

    I would love to get one of them!  But screw it!  If I can get Chicago’s 2nd 1st round pick, and hopefully get back to back picks, I would take both and have bookend tackles!😁.  I would trade next year’s 1st and give them cam kurl and SF’s 3rd rounder this year.

    Ok, even if this team does get a new coach, do we even have the right players?  I just don’t think you can coach this defensive unit at all. Just looking at how they play together, they can’t!  You see it every game, every year!  Even if they bring “the greatest defensive coach “ever”, Bill Belichek”, I don’t think he can turn them around! That secondary and linebacker unit is trash!  Only thing going for this defense is that interior DL!  Still going to need an edge rusher!

    why win?  they have no chance of competing in the playoffs!  not with that defense.  even if they did miraculously made the playoffs, they would still lose to the division winners.  there is no way these guys will play the weakest division winner which will probably be the NFC South.  they would need to get to surpass the cowboys to play as the #5 seed!  this is THE GAME for them to FINALLY FIRE RON AND JDR if they LOSE this game!
