I will be so pissed if we forgo the '27 qb class to extend Bryce. We have him signed through '27 already with option(s) to franchise/transition tag him twice so we are covered through '29 if a miracle happens. Of course I said the same thing about the '26 qb class.

Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27. They did a good job shoring up that oline. We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.

You are the father

He's signed through '27 and we could use the franchise tag beyond that. Giving him an extension would be beyond stupid.

Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.

No. His small hands, short height, very short arms (30 7/8), and killing his passenger while reckless driving at 4:00 am (although maybe that doesn't matter anymore-see James Pearce) are too risky to trade up for someone in a position you used #51 and #71 in last years draft and spent 120M on a FA for only to leave your oline as a big problem. Also, trading up would have cost us an additional 4 and a 5. Bucs had one fall to them but so did we.

Our biggest addition Jaelen Phillips has a significant injury history to include a ruptured Achilles followed by a torn ACL. We failed to add a much needed starting safety, ilb, and/or nickel in the draft. Lee Hunter is nice but ends up being a wash considering the loss of A'Shawn Robinson. Injuries could cause problems for a unit lacking depth. Top ten seems a bit ambitious with a likely upgrade in strength of schedule.

Needs to stop skipping leg day. His broad and vertical are terrible. Looks good live though.

Agree with the temper expectations part; disagree w/ the rookies won't be playing much part. We will have a better first round pick than 19 in 2027, and I hope we use it on a qb.

Proctor's ability to move laterally in pass protection was a worry. Lomu not having great power or long enough arms was a worry. Freeling is just green with a highest upside than either of those two. Hell, Miami has already moved Proctor to guard, which we would not want to do this year for our guy.

"$11,883,087 per year, projecting a two-year deal" vs. a slight improvement in TE receptions and yards especially when you factor in Brazzell entering the lineup and XL leaving it.

Let the young guys get the snaps. Brcye wouldn't make the most out of Njoku anyway.

Now that Miami is going to play Kadyn Proctor at left guard and Detroit is going to play Blake Miller at right guard, Freeling is the first true left tackle off the board.

Thanks for putting that together. I feel like the B grades don't entirely understand Icky's injury.

Good. We need him next year when we move Freeling to starting LT.
