If Carter starts slipping, let's get on the phone.

I think he means first round picks...
put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Like I said on the pod, we've been one of the better drafting teams since 2014, which I think serves as an inflection point organizationally for a number of reasons.

I would prefer McDonald if we stay put. You can never have enough rushers. Besides, there is this Armstrong thing that must be addressed.

Yeah I really like McDonald and having pass rushers is a good problem. But we would be running like 6 DEs. Is that worth it when Farniok is starting at LG? You have DEs begging to get on the field because they would be a top 3 DE somewhere else but you have a starting guard who would be lucky to make some NFL rosters?

That's where I struggle with a DE.

It is a struggle. The main mission of the draft is to stock talent for when Lawrence and Armstrong are gone in 1-2 years.

If the talent is there at DE over OL, sometimes you have to follow it, even though you might not be addressing a more immediate need.

Well and that's sort of the argument for BPA. You aren't drafting for this year. And a year or two from now any position could be a need. So don't worry about filling holes just get the best player because eventually they will be useful.

Of course the counter to that is if you draft an immediate starter you get a high level starter on the cheap for 5 years as opposed to the BPA who may only be for 3 years while he waits in the wings. It's ultimately about the most efficient use of resources.

The interesting part of this is that we're right on the verge of being arguably the favorite in the NFC to make the Super Bowl, so with that in mind how much does that impact who they draft over the next few days?

I think it has to be at least part of the logic because I think these next two years are a huge opportunity.

Which may be the best argument for a RB for us. Their biggest impact probably comes in the first two years of their career. More so than any position. It's why even though I don't like the concept of a first round RB, I'd still get excited if we somehow got Bijan. He could impact this team more than any rookie over the next 2 years. But 4 or 5 years from now probably not as much.
