Project players are for the later rounds. These are the ones that are nice to gamble on. Not a first round pick like XL…

They are typically prove it deals for players. They play great this one year and one of the 32 teams is paying them a nice contract in the offseason usually.

Flexibility. If they don’t work out we simply walk away. If they look great we have the first crack at extending them.

Gives us some options too. Draft a project one to learn behind him, extend him if he plays great, move on from Icky, move Icky to another spot depending on his recovery etc…

Still weird he signed a 1 year deal as a young decent LT, I'm surprised someone else didn't offer him a longer term deal...

Yep. Just may need a minute to gel with the OL. Same goes for our new C.

I don't hate the idea. I still would like an OT early but it can be more of a project guy now to replace Moton or LT next year Icky pending...

Nice! Looks like it's a one year deal so basically just a fill in until we get some answers with Icky next year.

We also have two very expensive and seasoned OGs which is a good time to insert a rookie OT. Learning beside Hunt or Lewis can really help a rookie OT. I'd love an OT in the 1st/2nd and an C in the middle somewhere to sit behind the guy we just signed for a year.

I think it's Moton's last year regardless. We are almost certainly drafting an OT. If they are high enough they might be out LT this year and then we are going to have to take a long look at Icky and possibly offer a one year deal to see how he is recovered. I could see him sliding to the inside or maybe RT if Moton retires and our rookie LT looked the part. That Icky injury was quite the curveball in our offseason plans....

He is almost certainly out for the year based on his injury. The question is can he come back 100% at all? Maybe they have made some strides in recovery for that injury I'm unaware of. I didn't think Tatum would be playing this year in the NBA yet here he is so who know?

Looking at these I like the thought here. Get our LT at 19 other LB in the 2nd (or vice versa) and future C in the mid-rounds. If the draft falls right this would be a win and anything else would just be a nice bonus...

Why would he be benched this season? Icky is probably out the year and may never get back to his old form?

I Think Miami singed Salyer recently...

Rodriguez and CJ Allen are the brains of this LB class. I’d still love Rodriguez in the second. Honestly Wallace did better for us when he was the green dot.

He is a good MLB but he actually wasn’t the green dot in Jax.

Yeah he probably competes with Jimmy for that last WR spot.

Don't worry, Bryce's safety net is TMac.

He is a receiving TE which is what this offense needs.

Yeah he used Otton in his one season as a play caller. He just doesn't have much to work with here. I still see Tremble and Evans getting out on routes though and obviously JT was drafted to be that guy whether he works out or not...

No I mean DC not wanting to use a receiving TE. He used Otton in Tampa when he was calling plays so I don't know where this is coming from. Drafting a receiving TE in JT also shows he is wanting one that can catch...

Is this really a thing? I must have missed it.

I'm not a fan of Pickett but why are we saying he has a "noodle arm?" He has small hands no doubt but he arm was always average to me. His velocity is clocked in the mid 50s. Nothing elite but not a weakness either. Nothing to really be excited about but he is a younger upgrade at the backup position. I'd still like to draft one to develop though.

I’d wait until after FA to panic, but we need something serviceable there before the draft because we can’t guarantee anything come draft day.

If that’s true then they should get him easy. Honestly Thibs should fetch BTJ plus a pick IMO.
