Lol Too much?

That's the archetype. Guys who can get open/get to the ball and catch it.

In my mocks I keep coming back to some 2Wr combo between Mcconkey, Pearsall, and Burton. Javon Baker creeps in there as well as a later round pick even though he shouldn't. But I think, at the moment anyways, those first three give Bryce the most reliable targets.

He's just a relentless bully. I like him.

One of my favorites. Guy just runs angry and he's got a pop in him. Doesn't shy from contact, he instigates it.

He's on the stage he needs to be on.

Is it worth watching if you aren't just desperate for anything that resembles football? I had to watch enough bad football last year.

I've been trying to stay balanced between offense and defense, but would we be ok with this?

Also, if you listen to Clowneys presser he said he was talking to Gilmore about coming down here and Clowney said Gilmore is trying to get them to bring him home....so there's that

Ehhh...silence is just silence. I wouldn't put too much into it one way or the other. I'm sure he wouldn't mind coming back home to possibly finish out his career. I'm sure he's also talking to Clowney, to see what he saw here and some other older guys about what they see with this new staff. Morgan is probably reaching out as well. Biggest thing is the money will have to be enough to justify it. We've got a little left. I'm sure we could scrape enough together. Also, I'm not really seeing much in the way of suitors. I'm sure there are talks with other teams, but I think we're making the biggest push.

So am I. That said I don't think we're going to have an issue keeping Brown. And.....we wouldn't be drafting him in round 1 either.

Yeah, they have the tiniest of windows here. And they're still the jets. Things dont go well for them.

I can't imagine him wanting to take it easy with his family there either. Could mean he's going to ball out to impress them all. Home town means you play with a bit more pride and purpose.

I think one thing I really like about Sweat is he gives us an option if things don't work out with keeping Brown.

Ok, the more I think about this one the more I like it. I like what it adds to the defense. Make that defensive front even more dominant and a good corner who can hang with any WR in this draft. We also get a center prospect with some upside, we get a good versatile RB (there were about 4 good choices there) and we get a reliable receiver, a big play receiver, and a do it all receiver.

Not serious btw

Let's get all the Xavier's.

I think so. I think the biggest thing for me is just having the most powerful DL in the league. If we go 3 wide, we've got the greatest most exhausting rotation in the league. If we get those 4 on the line together then good luck to any OL trying to stop or contain them. And then adding Jonah Ellis is just another facet to it all. If you win in the trenches, then do everything you can to give you the most strength there. I'm a fan of the idea that you not only make your OL and DL the most powerful in the league, but then every year you add to it or at least try to refresh it. One we've got both set, then use the draft as a way to keep it fresh. I don't think we've got a dominant OL yet, but the interior is getting there. My only complaint with that draft up there is I didn't address center.

Improved OL should help the run game, but I agree with you and @Bear Handsabout still needing help with ball carriers and pass catchers. Those two and center are the only big areas I see we need to address. Other areas can be strengthened, but those three have to be fit in the draft. 1RB, 2 WRs, and a pass catching TE.

I think this is what got me thinking about it. When you have the worst record in football, you have problems on all fronts. The obvious first step in correcting that is changing out coaching staff. Defense was far from perfect, but it was also far from the biggest issue. I think we made corrections there where needed. Then comes the personnel. It's not just improvements in talent that is needed, but you want a fresh start on the identity. You keep too much of the losing team, you risk keeping the same losing mind may have contributed to it. You need major upheaval and turnover. I still remember not having a great team when hurney was around when they bragged about keeping 20 of 22 starters or whatever it was. I think I was just surprised seeing just how drastic and massive it was in one snapshot. I've been watching it all happen, but spread out over a couple weeks it didn't strike me how big it really was.

I guess part of this is also does the coaching staff have more to work with? Considering the coaching staff had a hand in who we got, Canales got his OL and an upgraded WR and Evero got some of his guys. I think they might feel like it's a better fit for what they have in mind. I'm sure they would have liked to keep Luvu and he's really the only one I wish we'd been able to keep, but for the most part I think they are getting who they want.

Not asking to argue, just curious about opinions. How is it worse?

Nah, I thought of a few other options, but I wanted it to be a case of "forced to choose, would you say it was better or worse"? I know there are some other things to take into consideration, but just a snapshot of the roster last year and looking strictly at who we lost, kept, and obtained what does your gut say?

Just looking at this full list (that you'll probably have to click to see) if the season started next week would we be better off than last year? Yes, intentionally asking pre-draft choices and not taking into consideration coaching changes. Is this team 'as is' better than it was? Also, where do we still need to improve? -10 points for the lazy answer of QB
