This Team's D-line Rotation Sucks

[jaguarmanftype]

I think we'll find that Staley will adapt to his players, and ask for their input, and not peg them into any fixed positions. Jalen Ramsey supposedly asked to play in the slot at times this year, and he had some snaps there.

As I see it, Tillery will be coached up to play well this upcoming year, I just feel that intuitively, and Staley may try him out in an Aaron Donald-type role, even though he doesn't have the exact measurables, but I think he takes a leap. I think they may keep Ingram at a discount, but we'll see.

Just wanted to bump this conversation from a few months ago in light of Staley's recent presser and his high praise for Tillery. I still think Tillery will surprise people in Staley's scheme and with the new staff surrounding him.

I too expect the new staff to turn out more production from guys like Jones and Tillery, and even Nwosu and Egbule.
Obviously need to draft Joseph's replacement as well.
D line does need more production though.

Exactly - I think the Chargers in maybe the 4th or 5th will find a DT for Joseph as Justin Jones is also a free agent after this season

Just listening to Staley - I think he is going to get more production and use them better. Excited to see it

I think unless he has a bad season, Justin Jones will be a resign after this season....then we draft another guy but we also have Broughton and Fehoko to see if their game steps up.

Good point about Fehoko - always forget about him. And yes, Justin Jones can be brought back of course. To be sure, IDL depth is not the priority after say LT, CB, TE and the way Staley was talking, an OG, are.

I dont think IDL is a need at all this year but if a value player is there, why not?...As long as we get the other big hole possitions first.

There are tiers
Tier 1: OT and CB
Tier 2: Edge - never enough pass rushers
Tier 3: TE and OG, maybe another S
Tier 4: IDL, RB

After teir one id think it is BPA at a need in no particular order. OT id think has to be teir 1. Just think thats where we are going.

Maybe they think safety is teir 2 or RB is teir 3. There are plenty of player in this draft at different teirs id be happy if we draft them. Id be stoked with Joe Tryon at teir 2 but equally stoked with Javonte Williams or Eric Stokes at teir 2.

Drafting need first isn’t necessary.
Talent/depth in individual prospect position groups, prospect rating, team/scheme fit, future roster considerations with age/contracts/performance, etc.
Also team values on position groups.
- is our 3rd DS more important than our 3rd passrusher
- are we comfortable with our RB depth? I’m not.
- does ILB have enough depth/talent? I’m concerned but with Derwin’s ability/skillset to be DLB it concerns me less and the UDFA class of LBs with size/speed/agility is deep.
- TE class is deep and versatile. No need to target a TE until mid/late day 3/UDFA.

My T1: Left OT, boundry CB
T2: everybody else. If the BPA improves a position group, draft him.
Fill out depth after draft with FA, UDFA.

Exactly.
Draft impact high.
Spackle at depth later.

* Right and why i said if the value is there.
* RB depth i dont like either
* ILB may be ok if we playing 1 ILB on the field a lot. Ive no idea on that on what they want there.
* TE class is ok once you get past mid rounds but Cook is a 1 year deal and that drafted TE likely they want to start in year 2 so a late rounder may not cut it and Tremble,..... i really like but Staley said a pass catching TE is the most conveyed. I think TE will be drafted sooner than later but depends on how the draft shakes out and if their board has them available come time to pick.
