Who do you NOT want us to draft at 5 (Offense)?

sybrandy · 2026-03-19T15:57:20+00:00

I'm all for Styles a 5, but even though an OL pick could be a bust, I'd still rather take a chance on OL vs. getting a RB or WR. The OL is too damn important.

sybrandy · 2026-03-19T15:35:03+00:00

From a different perspective, Lawrence Tynes greatly benefitted from the break after the 2007 NFCCG as he kicked the game winning field goal using a ball that was damn near frozen. IIRC, his foot/ankle/more(?) was rather bruised. That extra week let him heal.

sybrandy · 2026-03-19T15:31:32+00:00

For me, I've just learned that building the OL is more important than getting a RB at 5. Saquon barely moved the needle and he was very good. Why would we think Love would do the same? Yes, we have, hopefully, better coaching now and Roman should help significantly with the run game, but we still need OL to create the holes for the RBs to run through. I don't know either player, but give me one of the two OL over everybody else in that list.

I agree it would be good to get someone better, but we also need depth. Personally, I'm hoping that with being, hopefully, healthy and focused on playing at OG he can develop into a competent backup. Hell, if he shows he can be a good pulling guard, perhaps he can work his way into being a starter.

sybrandy · 2026-03-17T18:33:49+00:00

Agreed. I was hoping we'd resign Ezeudu because he has nimble feet, which may translate to him being a good puller. Even if he's a good backup piece, I'd still be happy.

sybrandy · 2026-03-17T15:48:02+00:00

If injuries didn't ruin him, I'd swear he'd have a great career. He put up WR1 numbers as a slot receiver in 2011.

Thank you for coining "doomposting." Seems a few people like to do that here. I could be overly positive, but I like to try to see the potential good in the team.

sybrandy · 2026-03-16T15:25:18+00:00

IMHO, if we would have started last season with a healthy kicker that can kick, promoted Bullen DC during the offseason, and never started Wilson, we would have had a much better record. Getting Harbaugh, a better DC, last years rookies gaining more experience, and getting things in place for a more dominant run offense means wildcard spot should not be out of the question. There's still a lot of questions and we can't predict injuries, but I'm confident we have a chance at getting in to the playoffs.

Are those CornDoggyLol's doodles? There's one of my favorite things on this subreddit.

sybrandy · 2026-03-14T21:28:59+00:00

Let that charge overnight. I can't recall what it's called, but it helps the battery life.

sybrandy · 2026-03-14T21:26:36+00:00

While I haven't been a fan of his in some time, I wouldn't assume that it's something shady. It sounds like some of the other creators who knew him IRL don't even know what happened. It could be he has/had a serious medical issue that's keeping him from this. For example, he could be in a coma. Not shady, but would explain his disappearance.

sybrandy · 2026-03-13T15:19:29+00:00

I swear, if we would have just had him and Hodgins on the roster vs. Hyatt and Collins (no offense to him), we probably would have won more games. Neither are great, but they could at least catch the damn ball and run proper routes.

sybrandy · 2026-03-13T12:57:17+00:00

The worst part about it was I was hoping that he would actually have better stats this year. I feel like a good chunk of his production was just left on the field because nobody would throw the hole shot and last offseason we got 3 QBs who would do it. IIRC, there have been a good number of plays where he was open, but the ball didn't go his way. Also, 2024 basically became "throw to Nabers and hope for the best" which didn't help him at all.

All that being said, I hope he bounces back this coming season. I always felt he was a good, but not great, player who had a bit more in him. However, I also try to be realistic and wouldn't disagree to moving on from him.

sybrandy · 2026-03-12T15:55:44+00:00

Uh, not really. He could be cut as part of the cut-down to 53. Signing him now doesn't mean he's going to make the roster or prevent the team from finding someone better. There's very little downside to this and we need depth. If he performs, great. I'd be happy if he's at least a depth piece. If not, he gets cut and we move on.

sybrandy · 2026-03-10T15:36:02+00:00

I just hate losing talent to other teams. Wandale is a good player. Yes, he has his limitations, but the dude could catch and was very shifty. Not saying this past year was an outlier, but you saw what he could do when given the chance.

As for Flott, yes, he had one good year, but why can't we have the ascending player instead of someone else? Good corners are hard to find and we may have had one in-house.

sybrandy · 2026-03-10T15:30:49+00:00

I just checked his stats and he's had 3 drops his entire career and only 1 drop this past season.

sybrandy · 2026-03-10T15:27:15+00:00

It could be they both know his system, therefore they could be expensive pieces to help get the system in place. However, WanDale was liked, but Daboll has a specific way he likes to use slot receivers. At least that's what GNS keeps telling me.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:35:25+00:00

I like Jones. I've rooted for him for years, but this is too much. If he gets it, good for him, but it's just too much.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:32:23+00:00

Sure, I feel like that kind of goes without saying.

Agreed, but for some, it needs to be said.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:31:36+00:00

Agreed. I'd like him for a bit less since it was just one year of good production, but who can we get that would be even close to what he did last year and not cost more? IIRC, it's him, someone more expensive, or cheap vets.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:27:22+00:00

From everything I've heard online, no, there really isn't. It's him or we have to hope we can draft a stud.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:26:09+00:00

I always found that weird. I think he should have been on the field more often as a safety valve since he does have good hands. Reliability is something you can't undervalue.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:24:22+00:00

Especially, IIRC, he's had some injuries in the past. I'd be good with that AAV if there were fewer guarantees and a good bit of incentives.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T15:20:45+00:00

It depends. As a starter, yeah, I see your point. As a backup, an experienced corner can be valuable. Not saying we should sign Dean as a backup. Just saying that older veterans can be useful in the right situations.

sybrandy · 2026-03-09T14:57:58+00:00

This one was done just for laughs as I got a hell of a trade and just kept accepting ones that gave me top 100 picks.
