We went from scoring 33 points per game in 2016 to 22 in 2017. Sark doesn't spend much time in the fill room analyzing other teams defenses it seems. Yes, I'm still bummed and venting about the way the season played out, especially since we fielded a strong defense this year, but the playcalling never seemed to attack teams weaknesses very well. I think he recognizes the talent of each of our offensive players and exploits them fairly well, but analyzing other teams defenses seems lacking.

That was depressing.
I will say, though, that the "double move" implemented by Sanu at the 5:50 was weak as shite. Good lord that was lazy.

I want to like Sanu but I feel like he fell off as a #2 this season. Everyone doubled Julio and Sanu had a ton of dropped passes and bad route runs A LOT this year.
We definitely could upgrade at #2 and most definitely at #3.

Mel Kiper has us taking WR Christian Kirk from ATM in the first round.

Our roster is in somewhat of a unique situation where we don't really have a ton of holes where we must have draft picks become immediate starters and contributors. So I wouldn't be terribly opposed to drafting a big time receiver.
I don't know much about Kirk. I'd prefer a bigger guy but size isn't everything. And he looks like he could fill our return spot as well. That dude we had back there this year was horrendous.
My preference would be to draft a lineman if there is one available that is worthy of that pick. I'm talking DL or OL, and I don't care what spot they line up at. But if there isn't one that is worth a 1st round pick, then I wouldn't mind going skill.

Guy was a bum. Didn't fumble is all I can say for him. Very blah.

If Atlanta is drafting a skill player in the first, I'd prefer a big time TE, like Hayden Hurst or that cat from Oklahoma. Austin Hooper is short and also gargles balls.
That said, I'd much prefer OG/DT in the first two rounds. Maybe get a fullback in the 4th.

If Da'Ron Payne is sitting there at 26, it should be a sprint to the podium. Vita Vea would be amazing but he won't be there. Falcons are a big time run stuffer and one more talented corner away from being an elite defense. Poe is probably gone and the whole Jalen Collins thing hurt. I think we can avoid taking skill guys early for one more year but wouldn't mind shoring up those two spots. Need a guard too.

Their O-line was completely exposed in the playoffs.Yes,having a run stuffing DT would be a nice bonus but without some type of protection from the OG p osistion this team can't get over the playoff hump vs the higher tier NFC D lines and DT's

You aren't going to find a guard worthy enough to use a first round pick on. We've been over this before.
Posted on 1/23/18 at 7:48 am to VinegarStrokes
Disagree. I would take the guard from Notre Dame, but he will be long gone.

I am not sure if we need to draft a TE/WR in the first round but we are going to be in deep shite if we go into next year with Hooper as TE1, Sanu as WR2 and Hardy as WR3.
It really seemed like our offense was desperately missing a TE/slot WR this year. Ryan just didn't have his bail out option.

There are some guards in FA but we need better OL play it dropped off from the previous year. Some will argue it was play calling and scheme change I really don't know. Sounds like there will be a bidding war for Poe so not good odds of getting him back. Who knows if we resign Clayborn. Look for DL with the 1st pick
Posted on 1/24/18 at 6:23 am to VinegarStrokes
Agree! No more 1st round picks on OL. Jake Matthews has been very meh at 6th overall. Drafted Peter Konz and that was a horrible miss. I simply do not trust Dimitroff or anyone in charge of drafting to recognize NFL OL in the draft.
Need to go FA here. Lots of good options on the market this year.
Especially if you choose not to resign Poe and grab Payne in the 1st.

Yea - I'd prefer to sign a guard in FA. I read an interesting article somewhere that inside guard has become an increasingly important position over the last 4-5 years per most football people, but that the market has not caught up yet. Therefore, free agency is still a solid value for getting good inside maulers because of the cost.
My perfect scenario would be
- Draft possible starters at #1 DT, #2 CB/NB, #3 TE, #4 3rd WR, #5 backup OL (mauler type inside)
- Draft a QB to groom as the backup
- Sign a starting OG
- Sign another interior DL
Would like to find a guy in the 4th-6th round to replace some of the last roster guys that we signed a few years ago (Brooks Reed, Derrick Shelby).
Have to imagine there is a chance we lose Poe and Clayborn. Will be interested to see what we do with Upshaw and Ishmael. Also curious to see what happens with Matt Bryant. Obviously he's awesome, but he was already making $2.8M........on the flip side he is going to be 43.

I hope we can splurge on Norwell from the Panthers.

Especially in the NFC with so many premier DT's that can dominate the LOS.RG is almost as important as LT these days IMO

Yep, exactly. The point of the article was that LT have become overvalued as the league starts shifting to interior pressure as much as outside pressure. Therefore, the money paid to LT right now makes paying one on the open market a massive overpay while the market for RG has a massive gap between current salaries and "market value".
Pretty interesting.

Looks like the Pats/Brady paid attention to this guy.This game only verifies how incompetent Sark is.
Eagles secondary was vulnerable especially the last qtr of the season and Sark completely ignored what other teams were doing to exploit them.
