When I was looking at Godfrey's contract a minute ago I saw an interesting fact.  Everyone has complained that we can't cut Stewart and that Johnson would cost too much to cut and costs too much to keep.  But I thought it was an interesting observation that the guy that would cost the most this year if he couldn't play would actually be Ryan Kalil.  Right now his dead cap money would be 18,290,000, Stewart would be 18,185,000 and Johnson would be 16,200,000.

 

From a production point of view he anchors the line is playing at a pro-bowl level and his cap cost to keep him is a reasonable 7,284,000.

 

Darn good thing he is playing this well and doesn't want to pull a Gross and retire anytime soon.

 

While Cam is the most important guy on the offense and Kuechly on the defense, from a production point of view,  the argument could be made that Kalil is just as crucial because of his production, position and cost if we lost him  Just an observation about we could least afford to lose.  Morbid I admit.

According to a lot of off season huddle talk, we should cut our two vest running backs, charles johnson, godfrey, and not extend hardy.

Yes, cause we don't want to field a competitive team!!!

People wanted to cut Tolbert!?

I dont think anyone is saying cut C.J. and let Hardy roll. Maybe one, but not the other. Why do you want to keep a one-legged Godfrey? He did cost 7 million against the cap at one point and we all saw what happened to Beason after his Achilles injury. And no one wants to cut Tolbert. I think people being upset that we give J. Stew a new contract for 1 game a year is also a legitimate gripe. Maybe you should join Hurney at ESPN? Or did they already fire him?

Well, I haven't been one calling for the chopping block.  I think it's much more wise to at least get a guy whom you may think can fill the void before speaking of cutting.  Moreover, I find it a little bit self-serving to say cut a guy who has been injured, but has actually played at a high level before.  

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that it's right to sit on your tail and get paid for production that hasn't come for years, but that's why Godfrey actually taking a pay cut should be commended.

What is the point of this thread?

What is the point of most of the threads this time of year.  I have been reading about the draft for so long I wanted to discuss something else.  I guess I didn't develop the theme because if extrapolated to what would happen if something happened to Kalil seems somewhat morbid and testing fate.  I am glad he is healthy but so was Beason when he went down.  See there I go doing it.

 

Perhaps I should have called the thread, who is the most important player to stay healthy throughout the season from a financial point of view..  Most folks would have said Johnson or Cam or even Stewart but who would thought Kalil.  He not only is the anchor on the line but the guy who has to stay healthy.  We will be married to him until at least 2016 when his dead money goes below 10 million.

 

At what point do you draft his backup.  Later in the draft this year or sometime down the road.

 

Anyway, back to the same old draft threads where we can debate whether Moses can take us to the promised land or if Robinson will get lost or make a contribution.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
