We've had two FA periods now since Marv took over. Our top FA signing last year was a DT (Tripplett).. We spent our first FOUR picks (Whitner, McCargo, Youboty, Simpson) last year on the defense; we've had this FA period to improve the defense.
And now we're going to spend our top draft picks again on defense and ignore our offensive needs?
WTF
We just spend $74 million dollars on the offensive line, and we're going to supplement that with a retread at starting RB, another retread at #2 WR, and a TE that not even the psycho Dan Snyder was willing to spend money on.
Some of you guys are crazy.
YOu draft Marshawn Lynch at #12. At worst you got a solid platoon situation like New England, New Orleans and Indy utlized last year. At best you have yourself a franchise running back.
YOu move back into the late first round and you get a guy like Sydney Rice or Dwayne Bowe. We have no weapons besides Lee Evans, you think defenses are going to worry about stopping A-Train, Peerless Price and Robert Royal? Please.
You want this team to contend? Then dont rot away your QB, star WR and improved OL with rejects at RB and WR.
Indy won the Super Bowl. They were 3rd in the NFL in offense, they were dead last against the run... last
New Orleans was one play away from the Super Bowl. They were 1st in the NFL in offense. They were 23rd in the NFL in stoppnig the run.
The Saints (who by the way were 3-13 in 2005) were successful for one big reason; they had TOO many weapons for defense to deal with. They had Bush and McCallister. They had Drew Brees. THey had COlston and a host of good other young WR's. Bush and Colston were both rookies by the way.
I never said ignore the defense, I said make offense this draft the priority.
Lynch and Rice/Bowe would make this offense sick.
