I'd bet the house we were targeting him the 2nd.... thing is, he'll probably go higher than expected so I'd anticipate a trade up. My guy was the Big 12 Defensive POTY. According to PFF he's the top graded ILB in college with 90+ #'s in coverage (1st of 809)AND run defense(1st of 898). He also won the Butkus, Nagurski, Bednarik and Lombardi. Very special player. There is no way in hell he last until pick 51.

BPA Which will probably still be Edge, DI or OT ..we are 1 injury away from a big slide on the Dline. That said don't be surprised if it's the dude from Auburn, Keldrick Faulk or Caleb Banks.

Rather have Tremaine. I think this guy will end up in Cinn. Edit: NM he's going to NY

Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move. Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history. If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

XL is cool as hell and so is Jordan Matthews but that was last year.

2 mins n...Maybe its my optics but my PNP boy is either small as poo or Coker is big as fug Iol.

Idunno ...in my mind I figured XL and Bryce had more of a relationship/ connection by this point. They practice together damn near everyday... interview was a lil weird. But I do respect that he tkes accountability and he's nowhere near content.

Speaking of my guy ...

Yea Idunno, last offseason he went to "route god" w/ Deebo.. kinda looked like he got worse this season lol. Ima give him one more season before I form a true opinion. Still got hope

That wasn't a slip... you can tell he uses it in reg convo. And If this wasnt a thing I probably wouldn't even have noticed it tbh. Might make his acceptance speech a lil more interesting tho. Hell I had more of a problem with the "ref" comments yesterday than this. Reminded me of Cam.

I love Lemon or KC with a trade down. But surely we wouldn't draft another WR in the first.

1.) Resign BC and Yosh. Find a short term answer in Free Agency. 2.) Give Coker a 2 year contract and see how he responds. Something like 9 mil for 2 years. Big deal follows that. We just dont wanna have to pay TMac and Coker in the same offseason. 3.) From everything I've heard, he's getting another season minimum. If he doesn't show up I could see us getting rid of him during the '27 offseason. We're probably holding out hope that he can spontaneously perform like he did in college again. 4.) If I had to guess.... this is about where the 3rd round of the draft comes in. Cade was cool but we could do better. 5.) Prediction: we'll take a shot at a splash signing in FA like Llyod or Bush but have Dean and Chenal on speed dial incase it falls out. I also think we might end up double dipping in the draft. I wouldn't be too mad at a trade down and grabbing CJ Allen late first and Tuarean York(sleper) in the 4th. If we stay at 19 and Styles is gone I think we're going Offense at 19. Wouldn't be the smartest move imo but I could see us grabbing Lemon, KC Concep, or Saddiq. 6.) Chubba could still carry the bulk of the load but my gut is telling me if Brooks can get back to atleast 75%, he'll end up a better version of Rico. That's still the ? tho. Etienne's work ethic will keep him on the roster but it wouldn't surprise me to us draft one late and bring in a FA option. We've always stacked rb's under Canales.

I think we have to prepare at corner. The next game he plays he'll be in his contract year. Idunno what clicked for him but after that dropped INT he's looked like a different player. I'd extend him another 1-2 years now under the assumption we're currently at his floor. He ended up top 15 in tackles, pass breakups, forced fumbles and interceptions. And that's with a bottom tier pass rush. He's also getting old but we mainly play zone so that minimizes that problem. If we don't plan on resigning him, CB sneaks up into the offseason needs. Especially when you also consider Jaycee's injury history. However, I'd take a consistent pass rush over CB anyday.

So I was on reddit and came across a thread that stated he had almost identical stats to Josh Norman in '15. I don't think he's on Jno's level but he was def looking like the best corner on this team since Seattle imo. If he played a whole season with that momentum he'd be a first team All pro. And speaking of AP....bear w/ me. Norman '15 (1st Team AP) vs Jackson '25 vs Horn '25 (100 mil (Pro Bowl): 4 ints vs 4 ints vs 5 ints 18 PBUs vs 19 PBUs vs 8 PBUs 56 tackles vs 68 tackles vs 37 tackles 3 FF vs 1 FF vs 0 FFs Yards Allowed 513 vs 610 vs 289 Passer Rating: 58% vs 73% vs 78.8% Targets: 58 vs 90 vs 48 Receptions Allowed: 27 vs 50 vs 34 Coverage grade: **PFF 87.8 vs 80.9 vs 63.5 Final grade:... ***PFF Norman: 83.7 (3rd highest rated corner) Jackson: 81.7 (3rd highest in the league) Horn: 59.4 (69th out of 114 corners) All that said, do we extend Jackson at this current point betting he can replicate or do we wait until his contract year(next year)? Again mind you, Horn already took 100 Mill. Or would you let guy walk and look for cheaper options?

"The one other noteworthy thing PFF analyst Mark Chichester pointed out was that Corey Thornton, in limited action, was third among rookie cornerbacks with a 68.6 PFF grade." I need to see more of this guy. From what I've seen so far he could end up taking the nickel spot ahead of CSW.
