You make some good points. I don't think anyone is mad about the pick, and it would b e nice to have a
Gronk or grahm safety blanket . Howevere last heard it wasn't pure offense that let us down, it was the defense ans the secondary. Imo it's just dissapointment that they Havnt addressed it

Why is Dion Bailey still available and why have we not taken him?



We need a big hard hitter in the secondary to intimidate + he fits the new build of long lengthy secondary players

Looks a lot like a Kam Chancellor prod

Some think he's not a true safety because of his size. he's played some linebacker as well as safety at USC.

he would be a project with a lot of upside. might take him a year to develop as a pure secondary guy, but in year 2 or 3 could end up being one of the better defensive players out of this draft class.

perfect fit with Teryl Austin imo.

I've heard Ebron can drop the ball a lot. I didn't know what to think about them taking a TE of all positions when they just signed Golden Tate for Stafford and have TEs, but I don't know a lot about this guy.

They don't have good TEs. Pettigrew is a blocking TE and there is a reason Fauria only had 18 catches all last season.

Really? Can you really say that?

I would agree with lack of WR... but defense... you are nuts.

Our biggest problems was our offense by far. Stafford struggled hard. He needs weapons. Our defense maybe lost us ~3 games last year (if that). Our offense lost the other 6.
