Not a fan of drafting an edge rusher this year. They usually take a year or two to develop if they're not a Top 5 pick type of prospect. Would much rather make an edge rusher our top FA signing and then use the draft to find a starting LB or DB (or LT if one falls to us given Ickey's status). Just seems like the better allocation of resources this offseason, much easier to find an impact MLB late in the 1st round than a pass rusher, just as spending big money on an edge rusher is likely to get you a better ROI than big money on a LB.

This guy is cooked regardless of Strato insulting the appearance of the victim.

Did you read any of the articles?

Bain/Brown would be tough. Rotating in the other guys as well

which was why giving him a fresh 2 year deal was fuging stupid last year. What was the point?

Don’t think Bain is there at 11. But he’s arguably a top 5 prospect.

This is why I hated the Dalton deal last year. He wasn't good in his stint before when Bryce was benched, and we signed him to 2 years almost fully guaranteed when he already had one foot in the career grave and the other on a banana peel. I'm still of the mind that they decided to sign the 5th year last season and signed Dalton to keep Young comfortable until he was finished with at least year 4. I'm going to laugh like hell though when they extend Dalton another year after they announce Bryce's 5th year option. They'll call it a restructuring for cap relief but we'll know what it really is. Keep that QB room competition free.

Yeah I would say if they had an out they would obviously have taken it. Just seems like these big deals should have some clauses in them for criminal type behavior. I guess his exposure was civil more than criminal…. the victims more interested in settlement money than seeing him punished with a conviction. Like I said I haven’t really followed and I guess I am saying it a shame he still gets paid out on that deal. That the team has to give it up, and that he profits so much from doing harm.

Now if we could package XL and 19 to move up to 11, I'd be all for that. Heck, I'm sure we've got a copy of Hurney's notes on how not to bust on your 1st round pick in a desk somewhere to include in the deal.

Crosby is already expensive and about to be 30. I'd prefer the younger cheaper option. Thibs didn't get a ton of sacks this year but his pressures were up (might make him a little cheaper). I really think he is one of the reasons Burns got so many sacks. The new contract coming up is another reason he could be traded for less like Burns was for us, but that may fall more into next year.

Howell is obviously my preference but I wouldn't mind Mariota or Trubisky if we want to go the more established vet backup type guy. We just have to realize that we need to sign someone who might make Bryce look bad in camp by comparison. It is what it is.

It came dangerously close to cashing out. LOL

If that were true, I doubt he'd still be on the roster.

Morgan and Schoen are buds, socially. Beane too. So looking at NYG as a trading partner makes some sense. I think his history with Seattle could include them as well. If anyone is getting scapegoated in Buffalo we might could get a good deal. I haven’t really followed the Bills but they will have a new DC I think. So some change there is maybe an opportunity.

I haven’t followed the tawdry tale of Watson and his massage therapy, basically at all. Being ignorant, I have to wonder how that stuff doesn’t relieve his employers from their financial obligations. Seems like that is a ‘for cause’ scenario.

Wonder what the Vegas odds were on the first TD of the game being a pick 6 by Darnold.

KT is a guy to keep an eye on in NY. Burns/Carter are nasty and if the Giants can gain some assets for Thibs, I think he could be a name on the move. Main reason I'd stay away is his looming FA in '27. We'd give up some important draft capital and then have to pay him...while also wondering if he can get back to his first two years rather than his previous two. I also could see Harbaugh wanting to roll three deep with his pressure rotations and just hang on to him. I question Schoen's ability to correctly navigate the waters, especially when he dodged getting canned this year.

Green was a streaky QB at Arkansas, then again he was working with an Arkansas roster. If a coach could really let him sit and develop he has a lot of tools to like.

Mafe at Edge, Cade Otton at TE should be some mid tier guys that would be nice upgrades. I'd rather trade for Thibs that Crosby. Younger and probably cheaper to acquire.

If no one said who was the youngest it was Gale Sayers. And the list of youngest guys to be inducted, has one icon after another on it. Look it up and be impressed.

Yeah, the thing with Darnold is he definitely has that ability to spiral. If things go poorly for him early oh boy, look out. It could be one of "those days". One of his first throws of the game very easily could've been a pick six. If that had gone down it might've been interesting. At some point, the Pats may have gotten a running game going but they failed to early and got in a situation where they had to start chasing points and had to abandon the run.

yeah. He would have had to have one of those 4 pick outings to overcome their advantages. But we have seen that happen. I looked at his stats mid 2nd qtr, they were not good.

Crosby and a stud ILB would ramp this defense way up. It’s Luke’s HOF induction year, he is a symbol for what we lack. We need to get in touch with our history and seriously address that position again.

And Sam made some throws early on where he could have. LOL
