We already made a guy with the "if healthy" distinction the highest paid DB in NFL history. How much cap and assets are we wanting to dedicate to "if healthy"?

Glad he's back. Super versatile quality depth.

It's the norm these days. Almost unheard of for top 10 type draft picks to participate.

Nope. Top prospects not doing drills at the Combine has unfortunately become the norm. I mean, I don't blame them. There's more potential risk than potential reward but I definitely miss the days when pretty much everyone who was healthy participated.

I think T-Mac is kind of the opposite. There are definite questions about his speed. If everyone thought he was a 4.4 flat guy he'd probably be a top 5 lock. Us being involved in the Metcalf trade sweepstakes tells me that if we like T-Mac he's probably very much in consideration at #8.

You're not treating them the same. No one values a mid-round pick the same as a top 10 pick but the reality is that they're all unknown quantities. They've never played a down in the NFL and all you can do is try to project how they will translate to a higher level of competition. You can convince yourself otherwise all you want but that's the reality.

It's the truth though. There's no such thing as a sure thing in the draft. Great prospects bust and largely overlooked prospects become diamonds in the rough every year.

Solid move. You can't have All-Pros everywhere and this signing means we're not desperate at the position. That's all I'm really looking for our of FA. Don't go into the draft with obvious positions of pure desperation.

Wouldn't be surprising to see him back in Philly backing up Saquan. Their #2 RB had less than 300 yards and averaged under 4ypc.

How does it indicate a lack of preparation? You have your allotted time on the clock. Pulling a Gettleman and submitting your pick instantly may signal bravado and confidence but all it really means is that you didn't explore all options available.

We'll find out on the field. Every year there seems to be little correlation between "winning" the off-season and winning games when the season starts.

If you lose your job to Daniel Jones it's already over anyway. LOL

Yeah, it's a deep RB class. Take advantage of it. There will be a number of day three RBs out of this draft class who will be solid NFL contributors.

I'd say Geno simply based on the overall situations. The Seahawks look to be going full rebuild except for signing Darnold but we've seen what Darnold does on a bad team where he's forced to try to carry the load and it's UGLY. Fields to the Jets on paper just seems like a really odd match with their new OC who was the passing game coordinator under Ben Johnson in Detroit. Nothing about Fields' skill set and that type of offensive approach matches up. So by process of elimination I'm left with Geno.

Unless completely mortgage the future of the franchise to trade a fortune to move up. Because that's also a thing that we do here. LOL

Taking any potential options off the board is the dumbest poo in the world. Sometimes you're on the clock and don't see great value on the board and if the phone is ringing with offers that you see more value in than the talent available then you're crazy to just pick a player because that what we do here in this organization!

I mean, I'm not saying CMC definitely won't remain effective beyond 30 but the history of the position is the history of the position.

It's true. CMC is also creeping up on the dreaded 30 for RBs.

Really deep RB draft too. Jeanty and Hampton are clearly the top two but there's a lot of quality behind them.

Exactly.

Like I said, hopefully he was just a late bloomer but sudden jumps in production in contract years rarely hold up in future years.

Easily my favorite move of the day so far.

This is the type of guy that scares me. Undersized and was basically a low level rotational guy until finally showing up in a contract year. Hopefully he was just a late bloomer but he looks like the prototype FA bust.

You need backups too. Right now we don't even have that. LOL

They better spam picks at OL like Dave Gettleman did at CB after yanking the tag off Norman
