Just wait; have patience. if we miss out on a RB in the draft, then sign one. By that time any of those dude's still sitting on their couch will be willing to listen to whatever low-ball offer we throw their way.

Probably one of the best backups in the League is off the market. This also signifies that the Raiders may keep Jimmy G. At least for this season. I don't think the Raiders would have signed Minshew if Fields was in the equation.

So what you're say is we suck at trading and drafting?
Why so detailed? We just suck.

I get that point but this year we need to make sure we surround Bryce with as much offense talent as we can so we can see if he can be the guy moving forward. I just don't wanna end up in a spot where the WR we take at 33 has the same non-existent impact as Mingo did last year.
That's the point, There was talent at #39 and we simply picked the wrong guy. This isn't like QB, once the top few are gone is a total crap shoot. You can get solid, REALLY solid WRs into the 3rd round. Beyond that if you are lucky. I wanted Rashee Rice over Mingo. Tank Dell had a great year and was drafted after Mingo.

you seen the panther drafts past few years? I'll take a proven player over any guy they draft
Rhule is gone, Fitterer is gone and Tepper is supposed to be keeping his nose out of football operations.
There's hope.

Do you by any chance know our draft history of taking WR's in the 2nd round. Spoiler Alert it's not very good. I'd be ok giving up pick 39 if we were able to get Higgins to sight a fair long term deal but he's asking for top tier WR 1 money then yea I'm out and would rather roll the dice in the draft.
I'm very aware of our 2nd round draft pick history at WR. However, it's #33, a new GM and a loaded draft class at WR. I'll take that over an injury prone dude and the offensive version of the guy we just traded to the Giants. Again, we ain't winning much next year. No need in screwing up our future cap for 1-2 more wins in 2024 by signing an overpriced WR. Signing Higgins isn't worth it. There will be a solid WR at #33, we just have to pick the right one.

You have to give Bryce proven weapons and protection, in order to truly evaluate him. You can’t count pick 33 as a proven anything.
No, you don't. If Bryce is worth anything, he should be able to prove it. Just shore up the OL and give him some skill players. They don't have to be top 10 in their position group.

Exactly!!! I like Higgins but this is a wr rich draft and Higgins will command a lil coin in this market. Pair Bryce (who has to show improvement) or a new qb next year with a young wr stud.
We just got rid of our major cap headache and just got a top 2nd round pick. STOP WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD, DAN! Don't trade for Higgins. Don't do it, man.
If you are tanking, embrace the tank. Half measures are EXACTLY how we got to this point!

The Bengals can kick rocks if the demand is both 2nd picks bit if they just wanna take the picks we got for Burns then I'm all in.
Don't like it. Pass. Take a WR at #33 which is essentially a late 1st rounder.

Besides not re-signing Luvu and getting the short end of the stick in the Burns trade in compensation, I'm not too upset about the cuts and signings thus far.

A #2 caliber TE, WR and LB in FA. Starting caliber center in FA. Extend Brown now.

over under 4 wins? What you got?
Good number. Depends on injuries. Injury to Bryce for multiple games, over. If Bryce plays every offensive snap, under.

It was a bit less than I wanted. I had mentioned in the speculation threads a future 1st (not 2024) and a mid-later round pick was my guess. At the least get a 2nd and mid rounder. It does not leave me thinking we negotiated well, right below my minimum expectation. Slightly underwhelmed.
I was angling for a 2nd/3rd this year and next year's first. That I would have been happy with. I had no misconception that the Giants were going to give up their #6 this year.

Eddy Piniro, that's how. I mean, he got our two wins last year. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not.

Meh...as in you think the compensation was spot on or that was the best we were getting for him? I was even willing to spread the draft compensation over two...even three drafts as long as the value came through.

The only win type trade for this fanbase was going to be a 1st & late rounders.
The reactions are expected, and the slight but not total let down in returns is as well.
I was willing to take a 1st and.... I realized the two 1sts ship had sailed, I wasn't delusional. But a fuggin' 2nd and 5th????

I'm not mad Burns is gone or his enormous new contract. I'm upset about the compensation. Fug Scott Fitterer.

Damn what did miss going to dinner and for some drinks?!?!?! People looked at me crazy when I yelled when the trade was announce on ESPN.
A) I'm glad Burns, as a contract distraction, and his cap burden are gone.
B) I'm pissed at the compensation.
I went from elated to pissed and now I'm numb to the whole thing. I guess two first rounders is the MAXIMUM compensation for a franchise tag, not the law of the tag.

Corbett tore his ACL and MCL in back to back seasons, and looked terrible last season before reinjuring the knee after taking longer to come back than expected. In what world should he be relied upon to do anything other than ride the pine?
We cut him or force a pay cut. Those are the options. Making the money is and sitting on the bench is not an option.

I've been saying for years that BC was better suited as a swing tackle rather than a guard. But what do I know, other that I've been right more times than not compared to our past three GMS.
