Better start it up. Need to get a DE in the 1st round. Tank or Bradley Chubb or go after Ferrell or Key.

I think a running back is just as important. The reason we start so slow is because they don't give up on the run until the 3rd quarter.

I'd be very happy with either DL or RB in the first. Early draft crush is Jaylen Samuels FB/RB/WR/TE he can bound the rock, lead block, inline block, and has a nose for the end zone.

What do you guys think about Maurice Hurst he's being projected in the 15-25 range?

No point in drafting another center unless they're planning on changing the offensive scheme. Our issues in the middle are most of the snaps are shotgun/pistol and we don't have any running backs that have field vision/explosion.

They really need to focus on D line the first 2 rounds, maybe the 3rd as well. Pretty deep RB class, like to see if they can nail down a larger back who can actually break a tackle or two. I liked what I saw out of Green today. Hopefully they wise up and keep AA as far away from the field as possible.

Gotta get pass rushers. When Flacco and one of the worst offenses of all time can sit back and pick you apart. You know your pass rush is whack.

Kamara and Hunt went in the third round last year. RB's can usually be found later. Studly D-lineman go early and often.

Kinda hard to have field vision when the centers ass is pushed back in your face as soon as you get the ball.

We run fine outside as long as AA is not in the game. Him I agree has no vision at all.

I don't think his vision is the problem.

The problem is he isn't strong enough to break tackles at the NFL level. The O-line isn't going to be opening big enough holes for him to juke anyone either.

He's had a lot of run where he(Ameer) puts his head down and runs in to our own guys. Can't have good vision if you aren't looking where you're going.

I’m for seeing the new HC having a different scheme. Unless of course his OC has something different than him. Change is good.
