I don't think people realize that full rebuilds take a lot of time and aren't guaranteed to work. When you ditch all your veterans from a locker room and replace them with young guys you miss a lot of what makes a team a team. Older vets who can still play can show younger guys how to prepare, how to be a pro, how to win. When you do what Miami does, it sounds really nice that they have so many draft picks and so much cap space next season. At some point that cap space has to be used, and they will have to overpay veterans who otherwise don't want to show up to a losing team, and who don't know the lockerroom chemistry.
CHJ, Von, and Wolfe have been huge pieces for us on defense. Draft picks don't always and everywhere pan out. A team that learns how to win together and misses out on a couple mid-round picks is in much better shape the next season than a team that full tanks and has 9 picks instead of 7 in the next draft.

We are a team that struggles with its identity. We have players constantly out of position, players missing tackles and rarely anyone to help when it happens. Weve lost our C who was the dominant personality on the O line and we see a lot of struggles because the lack of on field leadership doesn't push them. Fangio does a lot of yelling on the sidelines but without the players to help out it goes in and out the ears of the players.
You can draft leadership but without the experience it becomes hard for them to lead. We made an effort to get that leadership through FA in the SB run and that is why it was successful. We did not have the quality then and we do not now

I believe we have 3 players who will be assets to this team. We need to build a strong line on both sides to support Lock .Last edited by Joshecalpoly; 10-01-2019, 04:28 PM.

with all our second second round pick I would have taken Zach Allen and picked up Jared Stidham later in the draft. I would have also taken undrafted free agents Benzschawel OG and TE Parham out of Stetson. One of the wide receivers from Ohio State Campbell or McLaurin would have been nice.

By signing munchak he was supposed to rework his poor mechanics. It's clear bolles is uncoachable and we need to look for his replacement now.[URL=http://s93.photobucket.com/user/Saddletramp69/media/asdf.jpg.html][/URL

However, we used the picks from Pitt to have the extra 2nd and then traded up LockNew England Patriots GM

I'll fast forward the present time and answer it then.
In 2020 we should have solidified the OL and drafted:
(Fanspeak/User voted)
R1 OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia
R2 OG/C Tyler Biadasz, Wisconsin
R3 OG/C Darryl Williams, Mississippi State
R3 OT/G Calvin Throckmorton, Oregon
R4 OG Jon Runyan, Michigan
R5 OT/G Scott Frantz, Kansas State
OL Depth
Thomas / Bolles
Risner / Williams
Biadasz / Williams
Runyan / Frantz
James or Throckmorton
(Leary released)
Overkill...yes!
However, the OL would be set for years under Lock and Lindsay.

Originally posted by beastlyskronk View PostWell they were going to take Bush if they were forced to pick there. I think it was cbssports who reported this when they drafted Fant. So if White was above Bush on the board then it’s likely they would’ve took him there, but that would likely mean we take Lock and don’t get Risner
However, I am glad we got Risner, our D scheme requires a lot more help inside then we have (everywhere on the field) but I really like how this kid plays so in the end I happy we traded back.Last edited by Joshecalpoly; 10-09-2019, 05:40 PM.

We’d have a problem in the future with contracts then. Lol
