Positional value is very high for an elite pass rusher so, I don't agree with you there. Safety is different. I like Hamilton but it makes zero sense for us to take a player like at 6 that with the needs we have.

I don't think many teams would part with a 1st for him. Not many want a RB salary at $8-12 mil for that length of time(4 years). Then you have even fewer that value RB's at a 1st round grade. Early second is mostly dumpster fire teams, so I am not sure how many of them would need a RB or want a RB-centric offense. I don't think we are actively shopping him, though. I think we are just willing to listen to offers.

She seems to be pretty well connected but she doesn't filter much. She is less a traditional sports journalist but more akin to the modern era social media "reporters" that clamor to be the first to report anything(despite being inaccurate often). That's why social media "reporting" sucks so badly. Being first means more credibility and more clicks. People don't care if the info is wrong. First is the most important. Ian Rappoport is really the same way, TBH.

His value is already minimal in a trade scenario and the cap hit isn't worth any draft capital we gained(likely a 2nd rounder, at best). If he gets injured again next season and misses significant time, then I would say trade him for whatever you can get(5th, 6th, etc).

Hamilton? After just investing in another safety? So we want an all safety defense?

Yeah, I think Rhule can battle through a tough race with Atlanta to finish last in the NFC South. He has shown me he is capable.

She gets caught in the rush to be first rather than trying to be right. Product of modern reporting.

I have seen more than one mock that has one of the top two pass rushers dropping to us. All it takes is for someone in the top 5 to throw a curveball(Lions taking a QB, for instance) and the board may shift enough for that to happen.

Ooof. Vet the source first. Reporting 101.

Eh. Try before you buy. I am not against it. Can always sign a bigger co tract if he plays really well here.

Unless they have zero interest in Fisher, it would hard for her to be wrong. Their interest may be passing or serious. We don't know.

Apparently.

How did passing on Slater work out again?

Like I said, I can't make you see it if you don't already.

He would be a massive upgrade over our current options but if we break the bank on a declining player, that's not smart.

I mean....I can't make you see it.

Yes. I can see past the current coaching staff.

Eh...27 years. He is the worst coach in the history of a fairly bad franchise.

Well the last time he took another coaches opinion we ended up with Sam Darnold, so....

I disagree. I understand the draw of a top 10 LT but that pick at 6 should net us a top 3 LT. I would rather gamble on that, TBH. Especially since we have nuked our cap as a bottom 3 NFL team.

Matt Rhule is a historically bad coach.

If this all saved his ass, we are probably looking at being a bad franchise for a very long time.

Agreed. I would love Armstead but 5 years at a rock bottom price for a LT is hard to pass up.

He had no excuses had we done nothing. He is out of excuses from the fans perspective.

I mean nothing would surprise me at this point.
