    Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot.  Here there is no Burrow.  So should he be expected to improve as the X?  Yikes--to your point.

    Higgins lit it up when Chase was inactive if I remember correctly

    The Giants are paying Burns all that money to get dominated by a TE multiple times a game in the run/pass game. This is exactly what this team needed. For Brian Burns not to be on the roster when TC begins AND we got 2 picks out of the deal. Burns is the Giants problem now and good riddance.

    And free up the tag money at the start of FA

    We've needed a legit FS for the entire existence of our franchise outside of those few years we had Deon Grant. Just think about that. Deon Grant is the best FS in franchise history. A guy 95% of NFL fans have completely forgotten about. As much as I loved Mike Minter, he's the caliber of SS that most fanbase would fondly remember but he certainly wouldn't be near the top of their best DBs. He'd be remembered how we remember a guy like say Will Witherspoon at LB.

    It's pretty wild how much we e neglected the secondary and especially the safety position and really especially FS. Deon Grant and Tre Boston might be about the only actual true FSs we've ever even rostered.

    Hopefully our new coach rectifies that with his emphasis on taking the ball away. A true ball hawk at FS would be a great step in that direction. I don’t know how much Simmons has left in the tank but he has a history with Evaro

    Report: the Panthers' roster has more questions than answers so they'll be looking to bring in better football players at nearly every position group.

    Hopefully positions/players that have a chance at making existing players better. Boseman if I remember played guard and centre at Baltimore so hopefully he’s starting gaurd material

    Seattle got a 1st and 2nd for Frank Clark not too long ago and he was given $105m over 5 years. The salary cap has increased by $70m since then as well. That "league source" should out down the crack pipe.

    The writer must have been sharing it to not do a little research into the matter aswell

    Nice to know that someone, somewhere is up when I am !!  I think we keep Thielen maybe one season and you are right, go after the Alpha.  We cannot miss on any picks--need 2 who can contribute.  I think we are going to splurge on a G and find a serviceable CB in free agency--and then we will draft a developmental T later, based on these tea leaves.

    6 in the evening here haha. Yeah we’re spending our money on interior Oline this FA and probably double dipping at WR early in the draft

    Multiple WR types looks like we could go WR twice.  In the deepest WR draft in years, yes.  Teams may opt for other needs in the first round, assuming they can take a WR in round 2.  That will cause someone to drop.

    My Rankings of these WRs (and so it was written):

    X WRs

    • Round 1, 2: Brian Thomas 6-4 205 LSU  (Gotta think Canales will want a Mike Evans clone)
    • Round 2: Keon Coleman 6-4 205 FSU (Another large Evans-type red zone WR)
    • Round 2, 3:  Xavier Legette 6-3 227 THE USC (thick WR who is 23 with 1 year of experience.  I thought he looked a bit sloppy at times at the Combine from what I could see.  I am a Gamecock fan, but I think he'd be a value at pick #65, not #33.

    Slot WRs

    • Round 1, 2: Ladd McConkey 6-0 185 UGA (Not sure you put him at slot exclusively; he can play all over.  Good route runner.)
    • Round 2: Xavier Worthy 6-1, 172 Texas (Zay Flowers' success, 4.21 could inflate his worthy-ness; I have him as a late second rounder, frankly.  I know many have him as a possible first rounder.  Too raw, imo.
    • Round 3, 4: Malik Washington 5-8, 195  UVa (Huge production at UVA and he is perfect for the RAC receiver we need for screens and reverses, etc.  Some have him as high as a second-round grade, but not in this WR group.  He is a third rounder and we could probably get him at pick #101. 
    • Round 3, 4: Ainias Smith 5-10, 200 TexAM  (Effective WR with big play and KR capabilities.

    My overall Rankings

    • Brian Thomas
    • Ladd McConkey
    • Keon Coleman
    • Xavier Worthy
    • Xavier Leggett
    • Malik Washington
    • Ainias Smith

    Good breakdown rome wasn’t built in a day. We need to focus on deep speed and inside separation this off season. Then next off season try and find that Alpha WR. Unless somehow we can grab Pittman in FA( I don’t see Evans coming here).
