Nah. I'm an Auburn fan, but if we give him thirty it's an overpay. He's a top ten DT, but he's not top 5.

Looks good to me.

What's his projected annual number? 17-23 mil?

He'll just watch some shiz on youtube....the freebies, not youtube tv. The future is decentralized (hell the present) content. No more news or sports insight from pretty talking heads. That model is gladly dying.

My aunt is sixty. She keeps bitching about how the cable company keeps creeping the price up. I cut her costs by 2/3s in 10 minutes. Cable is doomed. Now what we will have are services you can start stop at will. That will enforce a price point that is reasonable. People have learned that we live in a scam nation. The younger people are quick to drop services they think are overpriced.

And prepare for me to ride the high seas to watch, and live, as a man free of these skallywags.

I hope they double dip at wr, de, cb, lb, and te.

He's got the bloodlines and was coached at Utah, so you have to think he's got a high floor if nothing else.

In that case, mistake rescinded! I'd have thought 10 minimum.

Agree completely. I think Clowny would be a mistake. Jewell and Wonnum are around 6 mil per. I was thinking that range would be fine. I prefer cheaper but I don't think that's too steep. I'd come off 10 for the right guy (under 28, willing to be here 3 years, etc.)

While I want a vet starter, don't want to overpay for a guy. Just need a bridge for the young guys, imo.

I hadn't considered the waiver wire option--that could certainly work, but depending on the draft for a starter will be a disaster. I'm not asking for a 15 mil a year contract, just a guy to allow DJ and whoever we draft time to come along. If we'll pay for Jewell, why not a DE? I don't understand that logic.

Plug and Play from a playbook perspective, yes. Not from a physicality standpoint, otherwise I'd say fug it, just draft some guys.

Can you clarify what this means? Does the worst team the previous year get some advantage here? Forgive my ignorance.

No sweat its on topic and reinforces why i asked my question to begin with. I've got no issue with any of those guys in the draft. My point is that they are backups at best as first year players. As of now if Wonnum starts, who's his backup? Dj? OK. Roll the dice. The other side? Chaisson, even in college, was a third down specialist. Who is starting? Him? Laughable. A second rookie? Also laughable. In order to have even competent play we need a mid level player opposite of Wonnum. That allows you to bring these other guys along. Otherwise, why do anything in free agency if you are going to leave such an obvious weakness? We will get smoked on passing downs.

Looking at PFF there are still serviceable (starters) players to be had at the position for 5-10 mil per. Still very nervous about what we are doing there. Draft picks at edge always seem to take longer, even Burns did. So I hope that's not the plan to just depend on the draft.

Yeah, that's why you take these comparisons with a huge grain of salt. Robinson is a solid run stuffer, those other guys? Lol, you know.

Many of you know about this one. https://www.mockdraftable.com/ This allows you to enter a player and get any measurables they've provided through the combine, etc. Also then let's you see comparable (physically) players from the past. I don't put a ton of stock into it, but it's a cool thing to explore if you like data.

Dare I say one of those horses needs to Gallup away from those cowboys.

This man is actually doing some research and im here for it. Good poo

They seem pretty out there, relative to other scouts on him. I've got no idea. Does seem to be consensus that there are a lot number 2 types well into the second round.

Guys on PFF were saying the same thing today.
