What does that matter if you have spent tons of assets and money on defense. Look at where the majority of the cap is it's on defense. You literally just added a pro bowler and a potential top 15 pass rusher.. that's more a sure thing than a draft pick. Who cares if you spend draft picks on offense in that case

True or not, I would only even consider him for a lot less money than he made this year. He has turned 30. And had that one fantastic year but his usual production isn’t really all that great. Looked at his yards per reception and they have been in decline annually for a bit. Fell off from SF 2024 13.x ypc to Wash 2025 10.1 ypc. 10.1 ypc is Bryce’s kind of number, so I wouldn’t think it likely to increase. If he is cheap enough and they think they will use him, I guess I am okay with it.

There was a post on FB saying the same thing days ago. The problem is is that there's no credible source for the rumor, if any.

I’d rather draft CB over TE at #19

Not opposed if the offense is gonna open up but based off what I’ve seen, I’m all for bolstering the defense. s or dt in the first hopefully

Raptors blown out by Phoenix. Man this final stretch is gonna be crazy. Seeds 5-10 in the east are separated by 2.5 games… Hawks only team “hotter” than us, and I think they’re bound to come back down to earth with a pretty tough schedule to close out the season. We have some tough games too but ones that I think are very winnable, and still some very very easy games — which we have been winning consistently in 2026. Don’t think we’ve had a bad loss against a team we should beat since the Pacers in either very early January or late December

My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season. As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory. just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.

Incorrect. But thanks for sharing! I always appreciate your updates!

I like how the scouting reports read on the Clemson CB if they wanted to go there. I think the D line still needs love.

I wouldn’t hate it if he’s the BPA. But I’m also not ready to give up on our other TEs. Sanders has starter potential that was sideline by injury. Tremble and Evans aren’t bad options either. The floor of that position group is the best it’s been in a long time. I also agree with the other comments that we need to get some youth next to Derrick Brown.

This is the first time in a decade where our roster is in such a healthy state that we can go into the first round of the draft and truly take the very best player on the board.

Hubert is done and out, probably won't come out til tomorrow or Tuesday but he's going to be allowed to resign and keep his buyout.

Of course not. Reference points.

That high?

We aren’t obligated to adhere to last year's target distribution ratios.

McMillan/Coker down the stretch, healthy, combined for ~45% target share. Our RBs accounted for ~12-15% combined. So you've got around 40% left between WR3-4 and TE1-3 all divid up marginally and dependent on matchup. That's a huge chunk left that another real receiving weapon would help tremendously. Not opposed by any means. Especially if that means said TE could play slot like Kittle. Guys like LaPorta and Hockenson do so as well. The nice thing about Saddiq is his proven ability in both slot and in-line. It's what BAL always envisioned for Likely that hasn't happened yet. So it gives you a guy who can play there while you can throw in Tremble/Evans in-line. Also allows us to play 13 more which opens up the run game. He could really open up the offense overall which you need w/Bryce. And then it puts less pressure on needing to find the dynamic/shifty guy we've always pined for since Smitty left. That being said, I'm not buying any reports after last year haha.

What are the chances the team worked so hard to keep last years pick out of the headlines before they made it to telegraphing this years pick 2 months ahead?

1 year ago he was broadcasting our interest in Jalon Walker. He's either in the dark and guessing or doing work for Morgan again. https://www.sportskeeda.com/college-football/news-insider-notes-georgia-pro-day-top-prospects-look-ft-jalen-walker-nazir-stackhouse

exactly, what NFL team would come out and directly say if they "weren't considering" a prospect a month before the draft

it seems to be pretty likely he’s the pick if he’s there, but from the work on TE’s they’re doing it seems like they expect him to be gone. In any case they’re clearly targeting one.
