good picks! good night!
I have convinced myself that TT blames the poor CB play mainly on injuries and lack of pressure on the QB. Combine that with the loss of Peppers and Jones, maybe he should have addressed the OLB in Free Agency, but he didn't. So, if I am inside TT's head, I am counting on Matthews to play better when healthy and looking to replace the loss of Peppers, as well as improve play, by going after OLB with my first pick. I would never bet on the draft, but my money is on OLB/EDGE being that first pick.
Seems like TT admitted tonight that Randall and Rollins are disappointments. Not sure how you can look at two top picks just two years ago as anything other than huge disappointments when the team is spending its top two picks at the same positions just two years later.
Hopefully all four will turn out to be great and we can complain about too many good players without enough room on the field.
I think we got some good guys to work with back there in this draft. I don't view this as a repeat draft or an admission on anything other than this team needs better DB play. Even if randall and rollins played really well, there's still room for at least 1 high DB choice in this draft and 2 doesn't even begin to make me scratch my head. We lost Shields and hyde. Gained House.
I think EITHER Randall OR Rollins will be ok, but not both so yes we needed a corner. I'm scratching my head on why we went Safety late 2. We needed DL help which we got late 3, but we also need RB and OL help which we don't have yet.

Who starts at DB in 2017 is what's up in the air at this point.
Really it isn't about who starts, it's about who contributes. We now have plenty of bodies in the secondary, but I am afraid at this point, at least for the 2017 season, not enough talent (yet) to make a big difference.
