I would like to sign him (Evans) on 2- or 3-year deal. But I would also draft a WR with our second first round pick. The first pick would be a CB. I think Adam has one more year in him. After Adams leave, our new WR can be the 3rd WR. He will have one year to learn under Adams, Evans, and Puka.
We're better at safety than we are at corner. Unless a safety is a sure thing I'd go corner with the first pick. I heard Stafford wants to extend his contract for two more years. If they can get that deal done they can focus on filling out an already good roster. The offensive line is set. They can wait till day 2 to pick for depth. Use the two first rounders on a WR and CB. Maybe another CB in the 2nd. And tackle in the 3rd. We don't have a 4th round pick. Of course its entirely possible Les moves back to gain an extra 3rd and maybe 4th.
One of the reasons I like the idea of FA being used to plug holes on offense is that we can then use most of the early picks on defense.
Absolutely. In a draft lacking blue chip talents, he is very much one. You draft the blue chips if you can and figure it out later.
A bit lucky? He might be the GOAT but...
The AFC East sucked for 20 years, so they always had home field advantage and a bye week, Always.
Bilicheat cheated against the Rams in the first super bowl. Not only did he tape the plays beforehand but he mauled the Ram receivers so they could never get open and the fucking refs never called it.
And Brady should never have been in that first super bowl anyway because the refs called the tuck rule against the Raiders which gave them life in the AFC championship game when it should have ended right then and there.
Kyle Shanahan choked when he was OC with the Falcons in that super bowl. IIRC... they had a 28-3 lead and all they had to do was kick a field goal to (probably) ice the game with a 4 touchdown lead. Instead, with the falcons already in field goal range, then Ratboy called a pass and they were penalized and moved back, and then they were sacked on the next play and taken out of field goal range. Then Brady came storming back and tied it.
Then in McVays first super bowl... both offensive stars and MVPs Gurley and Kupp were injured, so they only scored 3 fucking points. The Rams were typically putting up 30 against everyone that year. How lucky can you get?
Lastly... as noted above... Bilicheat was an excellent defensive mind. He cheated when he could... but he knew how to attack the offense's weak points.
Yes I'm still disgusted about the above... rant over.
PFF tells us what they think is wrong with our defense with this list.
Ford, Turner, Verse and Young all make the list hell Verse is like the 4th or 5th rated Edge for them. Not a single DB though.

The exclusion of Derion Kendrick is inexcusable and indefensible.
At #78 Jamel Dean CB/TB who is a FA. I think I know what I want for an early Birthday present.
Shit looks so much better on that back end if they lock Dean up quick at the start. Corner would still be a need but at least the top dog is in place.

All points I had been making for years.
Due to the shitty AFC east all those years, NE was guaranteed to go 5-1/6-0 in the division. As a result, all they had to do was go 6-4 in non-division games to be at minimum 11-5/12-4 which was good enough to possibly get home field advantage those years. And since they were a good team, they would go 7-3 against non-division opponents to go 12-4/13-3 (definitely home field advantage those years they went 13-3 or better).

I would be surprised if Downs was there at 13, but, yes, Id just all over that pick if he was there.
Don't we have a safety we are currently paying $27 mil? To me Downs would be a waste of a 13th pick.
Gotta get a QB IMO.
No QB is worth a 13th pick other than Mendoza in this year's draft. Just no.
Maybe in the second round but even then I have high doubts that any QB after Mendoza will be a decent QB.
Backups - yes but I would not take a backup QB until the 5th round at the earliest.

I don't like any QB enough in this draft.....in other words, I don't want to trade up for one and I don't love who is at 13.
I get what you're saying with Lake being wrapped up, but, Downs to me a perfect for this offense, while it would be a luxury, could make sense.
That said, a true WR threat, a CB, LB or DL would all be fine with me.
“Did I stutter when I said All In for 2026!!” McSnead.
Downs may be the #1 overall talent in the entire draft, regardless of position. You don't pass on these type of talents if they're available, especially if they fall to #13. Thank God you, and the rest of us don't have any input to this team. Of course I forgot, our secondary is already Super Bowl winning material.
