Last nights first rounder.
 

I figured with all the bitching going on we could have a thread like this.


Knowing the way the picks before us fell, who would you rather have had with our pick?


No trading down, we have no idea where we would have went.


At 11, what pick would have made you not bitch.


I'm not arguing for the pick. Not a huge fan of it.


However, it was basically the only pick that brought us a guy that would start at a position of need. Only other guy who would have been a day 1 starter was Decastro.

Pretty much anyone from 12-24.

Ingram, Brockers. Hell, even Mercilus.

If you take Ingram or Mercilus, you taking Houston off the field? Tamba?

I honestly can't fault them for addressing our biggest need and selecting one of the very few individuals on the planet big enough & strong enough to play NT in the NFL.

Ingram would have been okay but outside of that who?

DeCastro? He's just a Guard and they all slid for a reason.

Brockers? Great. Another DE which is much, much less important than NT in a 3-4.

IMO, Brockers has a very high upside and could have very well been the pick.

Same here. I know you said no trades, but Tannehill is going to be on my watch list. I hope sitting in spot #11... which is cheaper... is/was not a factor in our decision not to move up. I don't want to become the Royals and be penny pinchers. I also am going to keep an eye on Chapman, and who winds up being the better NT over the long haul. Dude from Washington too. But for now I am happy we addressed our 2nd biggest need.

Nobody except Tannehill was going to make me exactly giddy.

I would have been content and understanding if they had taken Brockers, Ingram, Mercilus, or even DeCastro. I wouldn't have been pissed. Just would have taken my lumps and moved onto the later rounds.

Trade down would have been optimal, obviously. I would have been curious to see those two offers Pioli got from other teams.

Good thread IMO. Maybe Fletcher Cox? We shall see soon enough.

I would've traded back and took Weeden.

Cox would have to make the same adjustment as Glenn Dorsey did. Waste of a talent.

IF I knew DeCastro would fall so far down, I WOULD have traded down. BUT, that's BS, because I had to grab POE.

POE SHOULD have gone to the Ravens.

Yeah Cox was no good for us.




I just feel that with our pick, there wasn't another guy that would or could have the impact that Poe could bring.

Ingram or Mercilus.

Yeah, agreed, thus I think they took the best option on the board for the team.
