I agree, I think the cost to get him would be too high. My point is our 2026 schedule is going to be very tough to outperform 2025 and we'd be in a position to have a top 5 to 10 pick.

I think that is a better idea especially since the LB group this year is pretty strong but the thought of us getting Styles is tempting. I would trade up for him ONLY if we don't have to give up a 1st next year.

I would love to see us move up and take Styles but IMO that would cost us s 2027 first round pick. Our schedule next year is brutal. We will play every division winner and we were under .500. This is brutal and the possibility of having a top 5 pick is very possible. The bad season would almost certainly be because Young had a bad or mediocre season. Giving up a first-round pick would cost us the chance to get a replacement for Young. Thoughts?

It would be cool, but I thought our best shot was 2020 when we hit our 25th season and should have played Jacksonville.

He had a great combine and he'll get drafted. I would grab him if he's available in round 4 or later. If Canales is the QB whisperer that they say he is, he could get him in a position to compete with Young.

This is what I was thinking. Grab a good edge in FA and our defense will greatly improve.

I think we should just play the waiting game and see who is released. There are going to be some good WRs released. I am reluctant to give up any draft picks though a 5th rounder isn't too bad.

Colts, Panthers urged to make WR swap trade to impact Daniel Jones, Bryce Young Would definitely help our WR room. Not sure if we want to take on the 20m salary. Plus if they are desperate for cap relief, they might end up cutting him.

His speed is undeniable but he seems to be a cancer in the locker room and I am not sure we'd want something like that. He would definitely be a piece we are missing in the WR room.

Gettleman was relying on a rookie. KB had talent but he didn't have the work ethic. He ballooned his way right out of the league because he didn't take care of himself. Funchess was never EVER going to be that guy. if you let your all world WR go you have to bring someone in that could have replaced him TALENT wise.

Whether it was Smitty or Cam, Gettleman should have kept Smitty on the roster and play out his contract. I think the 2015 team with Smitty on it would have probably gone undefeated and we would have won our 2nd Super Bowl visit. Worse than letting him go was he never address bringing in a Stud veteran WR.

This IMO should be our #1 pick. Every time we have had a STUD at ILB we've gone to the NFC Championship or the Super Bowl. Mills, Morgan and Luke. My only concern is that EVero, for whatever reason, doesn't like starting rookies. I would hope that a 1st round defender would start.

This would be nice. It addresses most of our needs. I think we will add Free Agents in each of the top three picks to allow these players the chance to get used to the NFL.

It's a shame he wasn't first ballot. There have been several great LBs to play this game but I don't believe there was anyone like Luke. His ability to diagnose plays before they happened was very unique to him. Almost every year when they posted the top 100 it was one thing every player said about him. Great Honor for LLLUUUUUKKKKKEEEE

He's set to be a free agent. ESPN believes he'll get a 50 million dollar deal. I don't think we'll be in the market for his services, though I wish we were. It will be interesting to see who gambles on him.

I think you forget that Canales is what made Geno a commodity in Seattle in the first place. While I am not a great fan of Geno, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back up Young. I would prefer Sam Howell because I believe he has the best opportunity to become a starter of all the free agents out there minus Cousins.

Is dumb bunny show over yet?

We have a little over a month to go before free agency starts. I expect Morgan to address every position of need in Free Agency and get young depth in the draft. I believe that we will land one or two impact players in Free Agency. It has been said that Evero does not like to play rookies very much. So if we draft a rookie LB or Edge he is probably not going to get much playing time.

Sadly IMO he's done for 2026.

Looks like Evero is not going anywhere. The Raiders have narrowed down their search to two offensive coordinators.

I expect us to be very active in Free Agency and will address most of our positions of need there. Doing so gives us the opportunity to draft BPA. I do believe we will be in the position to get a solid ILB at 19.

This would be my take. If we could extend him through 27 or 28 it would help us a lot. I would also like to see more of Thorton. I know he's on IR but he has such a good training camp I can only believe he's only going to get better.

We really didn't give him much of a chance. Our entire team was in shambles, and he didn't have much help here. He balled out against LA and he's proven he can win big games. We gave up on him way too soon. Good luck to him.

I am so happy the egotistic Payton tried to go for it on 4th and 1 when they had a chance to go up 10 zip.

I'd like to see us get an edge and an ILB through free agency and address our other needs through the draft. Addressing Edge through the draft will put us most likely having 2 or 3 years before that player makes an impact. We already have two of those players on the team. ILB we really need experience and a stud. Having a rookie be the man in the middle would be tough. Even Luke had a rough start in his rookie season.
