    Yeah, I said that before morning coffee. You are correct. My point was though that the market for safeties is higher than it use to be. And will soon go higher. I would gladly see the team pay more than 10 million for Jesse Bates. Whether this fellow is worth it, I have no idea.
  2. Davidson Deac II
    About half the starting safeties in the NFL make 10 plus a year. Within a year or two, that number will likely rise to around 20 of the starting safeties.

    Well, you never really know. Analyst get it wrong all the time. A lot of people thought Trubisky was better than Mahomes. Cam Ward could end up being great. But I personally wouldn't take the risk if I were the Cardinals GM/Owner. Get someone who will make the team better and maybe draft a qb later.

    I read today that the Cardinals might swap Murray for a first round pick. They may want to draft Ward or Sanders. Personally, I would keep Murray over either of those two, but you never know.
  5. Davidson Deac II
    The mostly likely scenario for us moving up would be if Sanders or Ward is available when it comes to our time to pick. Unlikely, but possible.
  6. Davidson Deac II
    Would be great to trade back IF Someone is willing to give us enough to make it worthwhile.
  7. Davidson Deac II
    Maybe, maybe not. Blackshear wasn't drafted, he was an undrafted free agent. So we may plan to bring someone else in without drafting anyone.

    I can agree with that. Fwiw, I wish we would go back to the 4-3 and bring in a more traditional defensive end. That being said, I will point out that some thought Thomas Davis would be a safety when we drafted him. It was of course clear early that lb was his best position.
  9. Davidson Deac II
    Didn't say that at all. Getting a guy as good as Shaq Thompson would not be a failure at all. Might not be optimal, but it certainly wouldn't be a disappointment.
  10. Davidson Deac II
    If Luke is the comparison, then we are likely doomed. Players like him come around only once in a while. We need a infusion of talent on defense and the first round is only one part of it. If he turns out be to be a Shaq Thompson, but we also add a Charles Johnson or Mike Rucker and a Mike Minter in later rounds, I will be happy.
  11. Davidson Deac II
    Agreed. Fwiw, I still have hope that Tepper will get better. He seemed to take a more hands off approach this past season.
  12. Davidson Deac II
    Well, I can't see anyone moving up to take him. So if he is the pick at 8, its because the front office was hitting the bong a little to hard.
  13. Davidson Deac II
    I generally agree, but I think with wealth and fame, the temptations might be to great for some people to handle. I am not sure I could have when I was in my 30's. I think I could have, but can't say with certainty.
  14. Davidson Deac II
    Its a crapshoot in the first round as well. Well, maybe not a crapshoot, but the failure rate of first round picks is higher than most believe. I read that less than half of first round picks are with the team they started with after four years, most of them gone because they didn't live up to first round expectations.

    NCSU's coach went to a final four last year. His seat isn't hot.
  16. Davidson Deac II
    I am ok with it. We need to much on defense to waste a pick on a qb right now. We need a veteran backup, and might as well go with the guy we know. If Bryce goes down for a short time, then Andy is good enough to win a game or two if we put more talent around him, especially on defense.
  17. Davidson Deac II
    I think Malik Nabers did with 9 drops. Although I am sure Nabers got targeted more.
  18. Davidson Deac II
    I read something today about a rumor that the Jags are considering moving on from Lawrence. I think its interesting, but I don't think its true (maybe even absurd). And doing so would be idiotic on their part. While he certainly hasn't lived up to the tank for Trevor hype, he is decent enough to stick with for a while. And getting someone better is a longshot.
  19. Davidson Deac II
    Last year he was 5-7 from 50 plus yards with a long of 56. He had a off year this year. That being said, if we move on, so be it.
  20. Davidson Deac II
    Agreed. We haven't had a great kicker since Gano, and maybe as far back as Kasay. We almost had one in Butker, but the front office at that time made some questionable moves.
  21. Davidson Deac II
    I agree, peoples reaction to him simply being seen in Charlotte is ludicrous. If he was even seen.
  22. Davidson Deac II
    Same here. And I am willing to see if Leggett can develop anymore before we spend a first rounder on another wide receiver, (especially when the defense needs significant upgrades).
  23. Davidson Deac II
    In fairness, we sacked him five times when we played. The difference was that when they didn't sack him, they still played good cover defense, kept him from breaking off major runs, and got some turnovers. If we are ever going to challenge for a Superbowl, the defense needs to improve across the board.
  24. Davidson Deac II
    This. The Eagles have drafted better than us and done better than us in free agency. Although in fairness, they have drafted better than virtually every team in the NFL.

    They said it was a "network services" issue. Pretty generic term. Its probably some kind of code or database upgrade that went haywire. Or less likely but possible, they got hacked in some manner.
