 I say slide back. I think 2 or 3 Edge rushers, a CB, and an OL are likely to go before us.   If there are 4 OL we would consider at #6, drop back, add a second rounder, and take the one still on the board.

However, Ekwonu is (to me) the best for us.  He can play G or T.  He is the most feared lineman in the ACC.  Call him IHOP for obvious reasons.   If BC improves at LT, Ekwonu can go to G.  If Brady goes to G, Ekwonu can play LT.

I Wonder if Flores firing has anything to do with them (hypothetically) agreeing to sign Watson to lure a big name coach to Miami?  Trying to make sense of it all.

Joe Judge will but willing to bet Rhule won't unfortunately.

I agree, but I was quoting Gettlemen.  We are not that lucky.

 Flores at Miami is out 

This surprised me.

They need to fire Gettlemen too 

True, and this is what happens when you draft a QB in the first round and miss.  It takes 2-3 years of losing to learn he is not going to pan out--jobs are lost in the meantime.  Kenny Pickett--is he the next Jones? (Many mocks have the Giants taking him)

He’s never made a strategic move!

Bowel movements can be strategic.  I learned that in second grade.

In other words, this process is going to be drawn out and I will be left to choose from left overs. 
It is like he is trying to get to the offseason so we will all forget about his suckage.

A wise man once said, "Sometimes, the answer is on your own roster."

I think he and Joe Judge are going to be fired tomorrow.

when I watched 77 he did well (4 or 5 plays). 

He should have used him at the goal line--but the entire league does not like Cam--at least Rhule signed him.

 Romo was drinking Sam-Aid, but it all has to start with the OL..

Build the OL in free agency---we can overpay for a C and G to come here and it is perhaps smarter and cheaper than overpaying for a mediocre QB. We keep BC at LT and go with Deonte Brown at RG (He was not bad today).  We draft Pickett or Corral to compete with Darnold in 2022.

Root for the NY teams. Either of those 2 win and we move up in the draft.

Yes--are the giants starting Fromm again?  If so, give them the L now.

I think it will be Gruden.

Glad you are back

Fire Rhule, not "For(e) Rhule"  Folks need to wake up.  Fan was probably a Boone native or something.

He was not bad as a coach--they gave him the GM role and he trashed the team in that role.

20th in NFL vs. the Run.  Go back and take a gander at the QBs we have faced--and we have good CBs and S is not a glaring weakness--we really did not face too many stud QBs

You all know me as the sunflower of positivity and all that is wholesome and just, I hope this puts a sense of urgency (not desperation) into the decisions surrounding this team.  I hope that Rhule, without mortgaging the future, is able to put the right people in the right seat and drive the dang bus.  I want to see some coaching changes, and I am guessing there will be some.

I would not be surprised to see three first rounders + Brian Burns (speculation) in a trade for Watson.

Me too.

Basically, this article give KR legitimacy as an NFL safety.  Comments from Snow, Rhule.  Note the indecision about Chinn, Robinson, etc.  Time to find a spot for these guys and let them learn it.  Reminds me of the Christensen confusion.  Still do not know what position a player is being groomed to play.  (Why they value "versatility", I suppose).

Fans don't buy tickets because the locker room is not toxic.  Rhule is a good salesman, and he has convinced the locker room that it is "us against the world." Rhule is chummy with his top players, and they like him.  So what?  This is a billion dollar organization, and most billion dollar organizations are not left to the 25-year olds in the company to make decisions. The bottom line:  If the fans are not happy, they should not be happy.

Wow.  I laughed.  I cried.

Just to be clear, I think Matt is coming back. I spoke with somebody somewhat close to that situation recently, and nothing definitive has been messaged to him—but on the whole, it feels like he’s probably coming back. 

From my perspective, I interpret that as an instant warm seat, and definite hot seat if they don’t get off to a fast start. 

I feel there will be sun we distribution of power in terms of roster decisions. The biggest factor, and I can’t stress this enough, is staffing. I do feel Matt will be asked to make some changes, and while he might want Nixon as his guy, I don’t think the owner is going to tolerate that. That’s where I wonder if that could lead to some friction, and if it does, who knows.

Thanks for taking the time to interact with us--I think the QB issue will be addressed in some way---they will do nothing until free agency's tea leaves can be read, then they will turn to the draft if they cannot draft a QB.  If they don't sign a veteran QB (which seems unlikely, save Mariota or Trubiski), they have to take the rookie.  That suggests that free agency becomes an OL shopping spree.  If that is the case, I see a Pickett--and wonder if any other is worth a first round selection.  Thanks again.
