Quote:My question is this. What do we do to counter the Titans and Colts if they don't draft pass rushers? They have 1st round picks as well. What if one drafts Ebron? Would Mack be considered a good counter or do we only need to counter the worst team in the league?

 

Personally, I would not build my team to counter another team.   I would just build the best team possible.   In the NFL, things change so much from year to year, if you make decisions based on what other teams are doing, by the time you have implemented your own changes, the other teams may be completely different from what you expected. 

 

For example, if Houston drafts Clowney and now they have Watt and Clowney, so we say, OMG, we need a right tackle, so we draft Robinson, and then in a year, Clowney is a bust and Watt is injured, but Houston has come up with a great QB out of nowhere (they drafted him in the 3rd round), now what do you do?   OMG, instead of a RT, we should have drafted a pass rusher!!! 

 

You can't make decisions in reaction to the year to year moves of your opponents.   It just doesn't work, and in effect, your opponent is driving your decisions.   Why let them dictate how you build your team?
