Hmmm I trust Holmes and I get it
Fix the issue by floooding the room
But I am a bit surprised they did not go Oline

Haha so true
So now this draft has produced 3 cb’ s when you count the Davis trade. Brad has absolutely attacked our weakest position group. I like it

Typical OSU can’t accept what was clearly shown in replay. Legal hit, unfortunate outcome. Nothing dirty about it.

Bradley Motherfuxin Holmes is Cookin’ up a team without last years weaknesses… BPA and finishes the CB room.

It was legal but it was completely unnecessary and injured our best player. It’s fair to be upset about it.
Whelp, at least we’re out of the FA CB hunt I reckon.
So you take a position group in CB that was our weakest………BY FAR last year and you change that? Well done.
Name a group that was even close to CBs? Maybe DE? OL is a weakness because of depth, not because the staters just plain suck like they do in the CB group.

Yep. He’s given Glenn everything. Time to succeed on that side of the ball.

BPA was a top 50 player in Rakestraw who was often mocked to us at 29. He is a total team fit. After Frazier went off the board i didnt have any ol higher than Rakestraw

The value was the key and I think they would have taken several players that went in the 10 picks before, but they went. I really wanted Braswell. But this IMHO was a BPA pick and he was one of the DC/BH guys that would have been a target in a trade down. Then he fell and they got their top CB in unexpected form in the 1st. BH likes to fix positions in bunches it seems, and CB was going to get a talent infusion this year.
Now we can do things like start Mosely on IR and let him heal up for a potential call up later in the season when it’s go time and you lose a guy. But you’ve not rushed him back into duty. He’s ready. Maybe now we wait and see if Carleton Davis is worth a long term deal (to us). Veldor doesn’t help Aiyuk to a goal line gimme, we win the NFCC. Don’t think that was going to be a repeat for Mr. Holmes.

Curious to see if they both start…imo Arnold probably starts, but Rake may go into the season as a rotation guy, especially seeing how CB is one the the most difficult positions to learn/adjust to in the NFL, and expecting two rookies to helm those positions for a team in a Super Bowl window, is a dubious ask. Thats said, def both great defensive foundational pieces for the future.

Agreed, but shitty starters in the defensive backfield is a problem too, so I’m not gonna hate

All the “not a need” guys… we literally FLOODED our biggest area of need.

OL depth isn’t even that bad either, they have some capable reserves. Long term is an issue but there’s time to address that. The only real short term need IMO is receiver, we really don’t know what we have outside of St. Brown and I supposed EDGE but I think Davenport/Houston is a solid duo and Houston still has that massive upside if utilized correctly.
