I understand that every year we will have an area or two of greater need but this is becoming a pattern. This we we overloaded on LBs and when this class cycles through it's comfortable we will have to load up heavy again on LBs. Now it's looking possible that next year we will have to load up on DBs. Here's the problem I see with this scenario.
You better be right- when you take 4 of any position you better hope half pan out or you actually gain no ground assuming you have a few contributors at the position.
Maintain balance- I'd like to see a blueprint followed whatever they think is ideal as far as how many targets to take at all positions on the field.
The sky is falling- now that we've missed basically most of our top targets this ear at DB we start to get a little antsy and start reaching, offering guys that were nowhere to be seen at the start of the process. Its like we are offering just the sake of offering. Just cause your moving doesn't mean your always moving forward!
Coach em up- our fallback position on taking lesser talented recruits is our blinding belief in Bos ability to get the most out of these guys. And I do believe he has done a great job of that so far, But his room for error seems to be shrinking. It could be just me but this last season he looked very frustrated in the constant mental breakdowns and I think he could see a talent deficiency ESP. On the defensive side! I don't know. I suppose every year this is nerve-racking and Bo pulls it together in the end. To me it isn't frustrating anymore(missing on all our top targets) it's disappointing.
"So Elite???" compared to what? If he's so elite then why aren't schools knocking down his door. Remember that the level of competition he is up against is not exactly overflowing with talent!
Ya gotta remember what state we live in and back in my pops day you liked a woman that could cook a good meal, change the oil in the pick up and gut and drag a deer if need be. Oh and play DT for the skers!!!
Oh no you didn't!! Ha... Had to scroll up to find out what this thread was originally! And speaking of thicker gals....
