The NFL Draft is slowly approaching.....and every year it seems the same teams are constantly picking bad players that never pan out.
The Jets. The Lions. They always seem to pick a player that won't make any difference in their team winning. Usually a CB or a QB that can't play in the NFL. This year no QB should go in the first round because if you go by rating....none of the QBs coming out are worthy of first round consideration. If you're looking for Defense or WRs....this is the year to get them, because the draft has plenty of NFL level talent and depth throughout.
Last year the Jets picked a QB that got hurt at mid-season and now the team is picking in the top 5 again. The Jags picked at #1 last year and are picking there again this year. I think their picks were pretty good....but they weren't enough to get them out of the first pick again for 2022. The worst thing bad teams do is pick over-hyped players that aren't as good as advertised. Meanwhile....the playoff contenders are sitting there waiting for the good players to fall to them.
By the second round most of the really good CBs will be gone.....because bad teams always pick CBs. When you pick a CB it shouldn't be someone you're counting on to make an impact on your team. It should be the final piece of your defense.
Teams are built with their big boys. Offense and Defenses depend on their linemen for success. You cannot expect your secondary to make a play when your D Line lets 300 lb linemen into the second level. You have to keep blockers in the box for those guys to make plays. That means one thing. Bad teams must build their OLine and DLines first and foremost. But they keep picking QBs and CBs.
Sometimes you can get another team to give you a whole bunch of later picks for a top 15 pick in the first round. All you have to do is trade back a couple of times and you can fill your roster now instead of having to wait till next season to fill all of the holes you still have in your team. I figure....unless a player you really like falls to you....after pick #15....trade back....let the other teams pick up those over-hyped players and get more picks to fill out your roster.
What do you folks think?
