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.

Yeah, I think we need two pass catchers and a big end and small end. In my mocks DR and Ellis, along with Roman Wilson/McConkey and mitchell/legette/Coleman are four I target often. Tuttle can play the big end I think, but both he and A Rob are older and we need to have their replacements ready, and some quality depth this year. WR we have to just overhaul if Mingo ain't gonna get it.

Fair. But if he has that weakness it doesnt go away, its an athletic trait. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong. Just seems like a huge risk to me. These raw athlete types tend to struggle, even the ones that played sec (the conference I tend to watch since they dominate the league) competition.

Looks like their rating and weaknesses are pretty similar on nfl.com. The mosy alarming for this offense. Below-average quickness getting in and out of his breaks. You've convinced me on Coleman.....now I don't either of them.

If we need an X, I'd rather have Keon Coleman. He seems to have that short area quickness that will work better for the Bryce offense. Still get a physical guy that do contested catches but doesn't need a runway like Legette and Tez Walker to take advantage of their speed.

That's why I've been looking at the OLB recruits like Wilson, Edgerrin Cooper. Those guys can get pressure as stand up LBs. Still not that many of them. But at least some starter types at 33 and 39. Those guys you mentioned will be gone by the 20s most likely. Latu may drop due to injury concern but doubt he makes 33.

Hope we get some extra credit for when Burns gets 150 to keep averaging 8 sacks a year.

man, please let reddick come back. should have never let that child leave in the first place. that would be an absolute homerun.

Yes, I do see them drafting later round developmental guys but carrying 8 is likely the plan. Corbett makes me nervous. We'll learn if he and Icky can carry their weight. Otherwise in 2025, we'll be looking for at least 1 new starter, assuming they don't keep icky for a guard spot, if he fails at tackle.

Interesting comment. What kind of WRs do you have in mind when you say "small" ball?

It is, I lived down there for 5 years out of college. Will never go back. Just hated the area. People were mostly good, but crime, pollution, hurricanes and floods, power going off all the time, roads with potholes everywhere, and terrible congestion.

I won't lose any sleep over it but I have to wonder how anyone goes to new orleans and thinks "I wanna live here". The arsehole of America is southeast Louisiana.

To be fair those guys don't win the way big bodied wrs are supposed to so you can make the argument we don't have an X on the roster, at least not an effective one.

If we double dip for AD and Ladd this will be me on draft night.
