Re: 2023 NFL Draft
Lot's of hybrid type players. Good Depth. Dan Quinn is back. Serious Doomsday Legion of Boom potential.
DE: D-LAW, D.Armstrong, Sam Williams, Fowler, Golston, Viliami Fehoko Jr. (Round 4, Pick #129)
DT: Mazi (Round 1, Pick #26), Gallimore, Johnathan Hankins, Osa Odighizuwa
LB: Micah, LVE, DeMarvion Overshown (Round 3, Pick #90), Jabril Cox
CB: Diggs, Stephon Gilmore, Jourdan Lewis, DaRon Bland, C.J. Goodwin, Kelvin Joseph, Nahshon Wright, Israel Mukuamu
S: Jayron Kearse, Malik Hooker, Donovan Wilson,
Dorance Armstrong & Sam Williams = underrated
The Run can be contained better with Mazi
pass rush gonna make the DBs better than they already are.
Just need the offense & Dak to play better in the playoffs.... which may be unlikely, but it's possible with the right coaching.
Defense wins championships, this one is Top-5 in the league in 2023 w/ Dan Quinn running things.
Road to the SB will probably be through Philly or SF in the NFC... but Dallas isn't far behind.
4 months til kickoff.

Re: 2023 NFL Draft
This is the first year in the past 2+ decades where I am starting to think that it might be the year where the boys finally put it all together again.
Despite losing a celebrity RB the offense is still as potent as ever...and the real reason the boys are a threat to win it all is the defense - they are elite and stacked at every defensive position. When your defense is elite you dont need much else... the next important variable would be a talented QB.
"Defense wins championships" and despite the fact that mike mccarthy is beyond useless I still think the boys are favorites to win this championship because of their defense. Its too bad that McCarthy is the coach instead of someone like McVey or McDaniel or McDermott...is it not a little absurd how many Irish head coaches there are in this league?

Trevon Diggs was a big blow to their secondary.
I think San Francisco are the clear favorites so far. Assuming they can stay healthy.

Re: 2023 NFL Draft
I've felt for awhile now that the 'back 7" is more important than the front 7 these days. When you watch how sacks occur, it's very rare that it's an instant sack off instant pressure. It's usually because the QB has to hold the ball and that gives the pass rush enough time to collapse the pocket.
When the QB can receive the snap and fire to his first read all the time, the pass rush has no chance.
That's not to say the front isn't important. It clearly goes hand in hand with the pass coverage. I'd just put emphasis on building a complete back 7 if I were building a defense from scratch.
I think the loss of Diggs showed a little of why I think that. All it takes is one bad player in the back 7 to ruin an otherwise truly elite defense. It reminds me of when the Legion of Boom when they had an injury to a corner and had to bring in a "bad' player to replace and he got picked on over and over again. Even though the rest of the defense was all time elite, it didn't matter.
