I still would rather Minshew have time in the pocket so that he can focus on what coverages are trying to do to stop him. I feel like that would aid his mental growth, instead of having to run away from the rush every 2 seconds. He’ll know how to use his receivers better if he gets more time to see how routes develop against different coverages.
Alternatively, getting another guy who can regularly get open would benefit him greatly and could nullify the need for a premiere tackle. I like both strategies either way. That's why I think the Jags should be taking a WR or OT with the ninth pick as opposed to a DT regardless of how great that DT could be.
Not like he didnt have time. He was around league average in time in the pocket, hurries, hits, blitzes, and sacks.
I mean two good things at any position is DOPE haha. Jeudy and Lamb both complement DJ Chark really well. (What if we traded up with Yannick and 20 and got BOTH so Minshew could throw to all those guys HAHA) But really if we walk out of round one with 1) Chark / Jeudy or Chark / Lamb 2) Andrew Thomas / Jawaan Taylor 3) Chase Young / Josh Allen OR 4) Derrick Brown / Javon Kinlaw 5) Jeffrey Okudah / Kristian Fulton (haha yeah right, but that would be awesome) I would be THRILLED. I’m starting to lean towards, it’s better to add to a strength on our roster than try to do damage control with needs. We are gonna suck next year regardless so it’s time to play the long game. Let’s get our trenches or our playmakers right and give them a whole year together to develop.
Somehow I got stuck with 2 of the teams without a first rounder so I'm just over here twiddling my thumbs. Work has finally slowed down for the first time since late February (between the market going crazy and quarter end I was getting crushed) and I just want to draft dammit
Bears are making #43 and #50 available for trade down. Ryan Pace doesn't believe in keeping draft picks. I like making picks. I probably wouldn't trade down both times, but it depends on the board as the picks come up. If you're looking to get into either of those spots as we get closer, send your offers. Chicago has no picks between #50 and #163 so I would potentially like to add a 3rd and/or 4th
