For a FO trying to win a Superbowl through the DL, they kind of suck at it via the draft.

I like that they pivoted to cheap 1-year veteran former 1st round picks though (via FA and trades).

What's wild is the identified Jordan Willis and Charles Omenihu as guys to trade for- both worked out very well. Ebukam was a good signing and I'd argue Dee Ford was a good player, in spite of the injuries. Trenches is where we probably are the weakest in the draft.

that's not a recipe for success going forward.

Outside of Nick Bosa and DJ Jones, yeah, they've whiffed on a bunch of DL picks. I think Kentavius Street was probably the best pick after those guys factoring in where he was selected, and even he was just a rotational player.

All facts

Bosa struggles against the run, especially running QB's cause he can't set an edge.

This lost us the super bowl!

Huh lol

I can't believe people still don't understand the wide 9, crashing ends, and scrape exchanges in 2024.

If anyone is to blame for those Mahomes runs, it's Steve Wilks. When the backside end is coached to crash the dive on runs away(been this way since 2019) and has multiple TFLs in the game as a result, it might then be a good idea to change the end's read technique to avoid becoming predictable against a brilliant coach like Andy Reid.

Kyle never allowed Steve Wilks genius to shine. All Kyle's fault.

Reading form the front page that Kourcek loved Collins coming out of college and it's one reason they wen after him to replace AA. hope they get get more stout on early downs and create some negative plays. Way too many 3rd and shorts last year. Need to get teams in 3rd and long and let the pass rush get going.

So when a coach does a good job, it's him, but when he doesn't, it's Shanahan "not allowing his genius to shine". Really? Not sure that Wilks was possessed of genius.
