I personally would take Renfrow over Moore if the former truly is back to his old form. FWIW though, I wouldn't use ink yet on Renfrow making this roster over Moore. Sheena Quick was on WFNZ this morning saying that if she had to choose bw the two, she thinks Moore makes it over Renfrow.

Heading into the '26 draft, I would've said LB was our R1 pick and that does not look like it will change for me. I also think a LB will shake free from a team between now and week 1 that is in the Mike Jackson cornerback tier of player. Whether its a trade or cut, I think Dan will bring in some competition. I'm not a huge fan of the FA crop that's left, so we shall see. Rozeboom is not that far off of Josey, IMO and I feel that the coaching staff sees that too. Wishing the best for Jewell to get better and live life.

Wilson > Tet or any WR in this draft class now and more than likely in the future. Wilson is about to hit that level-up year that we've seen good WRs elevate to great WRs. GW will be a top-8 WR in the league and I'd give up #8 for his skillset alongside 17 & 18. Zero risk vs. some risk with whoever we draft at 8. Complete the offense with a true #1 for Bryce. Fix the defense in FA and move up in R2. We would have three 4th rounders to move around and/or add depth.

I'd like to see the final stretch of games this year with a consitent unit of Icky-Lewis-BC-Hunt-Moton. They seem to be our strongest group together but haven't played a ton together due to injury. If/when we move on from Moton, I think Icky would be the better RT and keep BC at LT. IDK if Mays or Raym is the answer at C, but the latter could be a gem with another year or so under his belt. After seeing what Coker and Richardson have done for us in the UDFA market, testing out a true C from a school like OU gives me hope.

Living in Seahawk country, I got a little lowdown from a good friend of mine. In a nutshell, he said we got a good one. Jackson isn't going to be confused for the second coming of Patrick Peterson or Revis, but he said he's sad to see him go. He said it was inevitable since they've drafted two young CBs that are studs and have a lot of talent at the position. Physical and good technique and lots of fans liked how he filled in when the younger guys went down with injury. Seems like a solid win-win for both teams.

Praying for a speedy and healthy recovery, Mr. Scot. One of my favorites on here.

I wonder if Dan and his buddy Shoen get together to discuss one of the QBs there. Lock seems to be the #2, I wonder if DeVito could be had. If they choose to keep Tommy D, maybe Lock becomes available. Toss them a 7th in a year or two and have insurance in case Andy is done, done. Red Rifle, though a great QB2, will be 37 this year.

Minimal concerns here. We have several serviceable backs sans Brooks with a RBBC approach. Though Penny won't be relied upon heavily, his signing is now looking like a solid move. I'd rather have a fully healthy Brooks for 8 games than rush him along to start the season. He always was a long-term piece, not a 2024 piece, IMO.

This is an interesting take that I'm not sure enough folks are talking about. Not the trading part, but the walk year that he's entering. Only guaranteed back on this roster next year is Brooks. That's not to say that Hubbard couldn't be re-signed....just seems more unlikely, than likely. Miles makes the most sense to be cut/traded due to his contract, but Chuba being a FA & the direction that the league is trending with not paying backs 2nd contracts, makes this a real possiblity too.

It's interesting for sure. Corbett has been our best OL the past couple of years, when healthy. He and Moton are plug and play, without concern. He has the build and IQ to make the move, but it's not necessarily that easy to just "cut and paste" with success. A couple of things in Corbett's favor: Film junky, high IQ and vocal leader of the OL already Has a connection already with BY9 Experience > rookie is always preferred at C, especially at a position that is critical for Young's success in only his second year. IIRC, wasn't Corbett responsible for the hand signals last year on snap counts. Leads me to believe he had personnel responsibilities and played a part in protection slides and identifying the Mike. Body type and style of play is a fit for C We still need to draft one this year, but it doesn't have to be a top-tier Frazier/JPJ kind per se.

I think he's the selection in R2 for us based on Morgan and the need for someone with a high IQ and work ethic to wear the green dot. I also think 33 will be traded to kick off day two as it often is. So, my crystal ball that means absolutely nothing is WR at 39 and then with our selection probably in the late 40s/early 50's would be Wilson. We drafted Kuechly when the "need" wasn't really there. Wilson's red flags are health, but he was outstanding this past year at staying on the field. Two torn ACLs but with a guy like Thomas Davis still connected here and the last injury for Wilson coming 3 years ago, I'd say if the medicals are cleared, he's as healthy as TD was. A hybrid TD/Kuechly is what Morgan probably sees in Wilson, and the rookie would fit opposite Jewell's lack of coverage/range like a glove. We can still grab a C at 65 and add TE, CB and EDGE. Something like: - Legette - Wilson - Van Pran or Bortollini - Wiley - Brownlee

I am all about giving TMJ another year to see what he can do under Canales and Idzik's guidance. Not to make excuses for TMJ because he's brought a good portion of it on himself, but he hasn't been set up to succeed either. He has the traits and experience at LSU that you look for and was only 20 when drafted, so he still has time to prove himself. I would give him this year to step up and see if the light has switched on for him yet. No harm in the competition.

Don't get me excited on Barton. He was taking some C snaps today at his pro-day and Jeremiah thinks he's a center in the NFL. I assumed he'd be off the board along with JPJ.

Does Thomas or Shipley intrigue you at all for us breaking the drought? I think Thomas can be that EDGE we need, while not having to blow a 2nd on him.
