2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

As much as I want WR at 21 - you cannot reach
Just can't
take the Edge rusher
take the TE
or leverage your pick and trade back for more picks

but right, don't reach

Yep...I'd rather have a solid TE or DT or Edge for 10 years than another K9-like reach...

if the board isn"t right in that scenario - Telesco could always trade back as well. An extra pick or two would allow him to
draft a backup OC prospect that might be better Clapp plus Linsley is getting older; maybe more OT, Edge or WR depth too

Again, with Justin HErbert coming up - good to have those players on cheaper contracts

it’s john/tom, they don’t trade back for picks…this same thing comes up every year, not sure why folks continue to believe this front office will change how it conducts business…

You are, unfortunately, 100% correct.
Still, one can live in hope......

Hope is one thing, but when it’s never happened in 10 years, maybe it’s time to accept what is?

or we can keep :deadhorse:

10 years? This board wants to get rid of Bosa after 8. I’d love to get a 10 year player, but besides QB, I don’t think that happens much anymore.

Maybe the huge disaster when AJ left Troy Polamalu on the board scarred Dean and they are not allowed to.

thats an excellent point. Who were the two players - Sammy Davis and Terence Kiel. I think they also drafted Drayton Florence with their own 2nd round pick... ooooffff!!

Granted it worked okay moving from 1 to 5 and not drafting Vick

But Telesco has been open about trading up - I wonder if he falls in love with a player. I can see the Notre Dame TE being his target this year

I could see him staying at 21, taking Kincaid if he wants TE. Not as good a blocker, better receiver. BPA might be Ark LB Sanders.

Bosa didn't do much to help himself drawing that silly penalty in that one-and-done playoff epic fail loss to the Jags...almost reminds me of Moaning Mel...if he keeps this up, we'll have to refer to him as "Bonehead Bosa"...

TT would have to trade away the farm to move up to the top 10 or so for Mayer...UNLESS he can package Bonehead Bosa and maybe a 4th rounder to do that deal...
