I hope to hell Fields falls to QB5!

I agree, except big fat pass on Jimmy G. A; big ole cap hit to the tune of $26.4M this year and $1.4M dead money next year. B; injuries. C; he's gonna get cut anyway.

Just for sheets and giggles...would Minshew's be about the same? Honestly, I might like him more, and he'd be $9M cheaper this year.

We can reasonably guess that #1, 2 and 3 will all be QB. Even with their offseason moves, I could still see ATL, Detroit or Miami picking the 4th best QB. Or, more likely trading back to a QB needy team. (side note: I'd definitely consider trading up to #6 if Lance or Fields is still available. I don't think the lions are set on Goff for 2021) So, that means that Jones is most likely our best shot, in the draft, at #8. And he may be gone, who knows. I'm likely drafting Sewell or Slater in this scenario, and either trying for Minshew or rolling with Teddy. Sorry for the rambling post, I've been off grid for several days and am still trying to wrap my head around WTF is happening.

Stay at 8 and pick Slater.

Can't really disagree with your logic, but I'd keep Thomas and Jackson unless we get a definite upgrade. Jackson is still our best CB right now and played with turf toe all last season. Undersized? Yes, but a good coverage guy. Thomas is a pretty good blocker, I can see him being more of a h-back and still contributing for cheap.

Agree. At 39, there will be a starting LT, CB, FS or MLB if we need them, all on a cheap 4-year rookie deal.

I don't know. After losing Manhertz and Armah, I could see Thomas filling more of the H-back role. Arnold won't be much of a blocker on running downs.

Barbara and Dan both need to add a little weight IMO, but they both definitely offer positional value.

I thought this thread was about this guy. I'm showing my age.

that's 106 beers! Who are you, Wade Boggs?

didn't you ask him for a massage? Well it WAS blue jean Friday, and @Zod's feet hurt...

Don't forget Carter did a good job at MLB last year as well when discussing depth. Haynes played well on limited snaps. I would love to see us go after a true FS (Xavier Woods maybe) and a veteran CB in FA.

My hope (pipe dream) was that we could get a cheaper 1 year and get to pick between him and Anderson next year. Glad he got his money though. Too bad for him it with WFT. Ron misused him for years.

They ARE almost at a Congress level debt now.

Good for a team holding 3 6th round picks...

They still might try to trade in front of us. Fitz only signed a 1 year deal, and would be a god mentor for a rookie QB that needs time to develop. Nice signing, the kind we should have done with TB.

I like him too, BUT, the FA market is slam full of DE's. Shouldn't be hard for the team t replace him.

him too And don't get me started on David Newton.

Maybe these are the tier 2 guys that Rhule/Fitterer wanted. Why risk losing them to another team who's bargain bin shopping. I honestly had never heard of either guy an hour ago, so that's just a theory.

Joe Person is an @$$hole!

If he's fully recovered from the MCL sprain he should be a step up from Scott, who's better than Daley, who's better than Little. I like that he and Scott can back up either side. I still fully expect to draft a LT.

Thanks. I've been doing a little reading today, and it looks like Jordan may be a little less flashy as a pass-catcher that Freiermuth, but a better blocker. I like TE's who aren't afraid to smack someone in the mouth.
