If you like the first car you test drive, do you just buy it without making sure?

Let's say Daniel Jones was a top 10 QB and he became trade bait---even if we were not in position to compete with other teams, would we not try to lure him back to Charlotte--his hometown?

Think about it---Atlanta will pitch the "home fires burning" but they will not have much else. They would be remiss if they did not try it--maybe the fan base expects it--but they are simply giving it a shot.

I want Darnold to be a part of the deal. Dammit.

absolutely nothing

OTC has them at $11m in cap room

I have other stuff to do...But I have been drawn back to my computer every 15 minutes or so for the past day or two. I am going to feel really empty and stupid if he signs with the Browns--and I might even call them the front runner right now due to the fact that Watson wants to talk with them. Maybe Houston won't take Baker--and that end falls apart.

TEA LEAVES? Does this mean that they expect Chinn to be included in the trade for D4 and decided we need some depth? Mysterious, man.

Yes. He likes orange helmets. The Browns agreed to keep them orange. Deal done.

FWIW, I wanted him at LT all season--too good an athlete. However, they seem determined to make him a LG--and I think, if we move the pocket and pull him in the run game, he could be decent there--with experience. The fact that he played no real position in 2021 is an outrage. We saw him vs. 2 teams at LT play well--and there are so many different kinds of DEs/OLBs in the NFL, it takes several games to get a good feel. If I were playing vs. BC, I would get a 280 lb DE and bull rush him. Not sure he saw that in the last few games.

Were you around when the Panthers traded for backup Jake Delhomme?

I am leaning Watson (make the trade) but I see your points and must admit, they will be the first things that pop into my head if we sign Watson. Good argument against the field.

Not really--he is talking about Gardner Minshew and Burns, Chinn, three first rounders...I see the point. I am on the Watson bus, but I too wonder. Remember, a former Saints backup took us to the Super Bowl.

It is a huge gamble and it could indeed backfire.

Age might be the only answer

While your argument is compelling, if we find a better LT in free agency (and I doubt it) BC becomes the LG. That is what I meant when I said, "Brady is a LG--hopefully" It means we have upgraded 2 positions.

Nearly a first round pick---#33 overall.

After this I will get back to the Watson lack of news--I think he once--on the air--claimed to have had sex with some athlete's wife or something like that. What a dweeb.

wasn't he on the morning show? Either way--I am buying it.

Celania, if still alive, was always the cantankerous idiot on WFNZ. This sounds par for the course.

So we now have 2 credible NFL starting OL We have an unproven 26-year old LG (hopefully) in Christensen. A marginal C (Elflein) who might play better between 2 solid Guards. So maybe, just maybe--a LT or LG is all we need. Discuss amongst yourselves.

If we are talking about OT free agents in this draft, it could mean one of two things: 1. We are trading our #6 overall pick for Watson. 2. We are using our #6 overall pick on a QB, probably Willis. It makes more sense to sign a free agent LT if you signed Watson than it does to pass on a solid LT for a mediocre QB likely to bust.
