:dunno::thinking:

Have fun.
Gather info.
Thanks for the heads up on a new machine I knew nothing about.
Also, if posters "draft" Caleb Farley in round three, you have won the internet.

I'm not a fan of drafting CBs in the first round. I feel like they are like RBs...you can find decent talent in later rounds or UDFAs that can be developed, or sign proven talent in FA.

Why? If we can land the #2 CB in the draft that could be a shutdown corner I'd take him at #13. If all the star tackles are gone who ya gonna draft. I'd rather buy defensive linemen like JJ watt who will most likely become a free agent. Can we use him in our schemes? ah crap...doesn't matter just put him out there to wreak damage!

Yes Wood, I think you will like that one. I used it a couple years, but forgot about it. Had to remember my username lol.
Takes a bit getting used to it. Let me know how how those rankings compare IYV to some here. I also think it may be missing a few players.

No such thing as Farley in round three. Not even on the simulators.

if they are shut down CB's then they are worth taking..... because of rules today, great CB's are most important players on defense..... teams can create a psss rush by design and blitzing..... most players cannot cover without being allowed to hold, so great cover people are very valuable....
BUT better than drafting a CB you are not sure about, it is better to sign a high priced vet CB FA or trade, who is familiar with top WR's, etc..... like the best defenses like KC, MIA, NO, NE, BALT, LAR, did....

agree with this - a pass rush is a CB's best friend. to me, an EDGE rusher is a better investment in the1st round.

Who on KC is a shutdown CB?

MIA, NO, BALT drafted one

LAR traded for Ramsey.

NE signed Gilmore from Buffalo.

Shutdown CB1 don’t hit FA often

This exactly my sentiment.

Well, I think I would prefer Greg Rousseau, the pass rusher out of Miami, to Surtain if both are still on the board at 13.

As of right now, neither will be there at 13 IMHO.

Bosa is the blue chip Edge man on this roster...better served to pick up a gifted project in later rounds...they should contribute in rotation, and develop nicely with Joey as the Alpha/ mentor.

I like corner, but we will see who is there...dont discount Waddle...scary weapon for Herbert AND scary return man for special teams.
