Hurney, Peppers and Defensive Tackles

It's not simply a matter of Hurney just going out and getting a guy, you have to have a team willing to make a trade. And this early, few teams are willing to trade away one of their quality backups. The earliest I ever expected a trade to take place was this week, but it is probably more likely to come around 1st cuts. That's when things begin to get sorted out and teams start to hone in on who they think will be a part of their regular season roster.

Carolina gets Glenn Dorsey and Corey Williams.

Kansas City gets Julius Peppers.

Cleveland gets a 3rd round pick.

Err....good post but...one of these things is not like the other.

Cant trade Peppers cause we would still be stuck with the 17Million.

Hurney could not foresee Kemo annihilating his achilles, which made all this an issue in the first place.

DT was an issue last season. We had no depth and our 2 starting DTs could not generate pressure on passing downs which added to our entire defense sucking the 2nd half of last year.

I agree but at the same time if we were going to do something then why have we waited so long. I don't think Hurney is going to do anything, I think he will wait until cuts and we wont get anyone with any starting ability. At least the good news is that we know to start running backs against the Panthers in fantasy football...they are going to put up huge numbers all season. Just like the Meeks led Colts defesnse two years ago.

Waiting increases our leverage and lowers the price in a trade. Right now every team knows we badly need DT help, which decreases our leverage.

But the closer it gets to cuts, the more leverage we regain, because teams know if they ask for too much we could just wait and see who's available.

I think we will make a trade but I think it still could be at least another week or so.

      I will absolutely lose my sh!t if this happens.  Arch and Moore go in the top 5. Mestemaker goes #8.  In this mock we have a chance at QB4 in what some are calling a generational QB draft and they have us taking a freaking DT at #10.  Sayin, Carr, Mensah and Sellers are ALL still available.

      I thought about this schedule, and it is brutal. That said most of the games we played against caliber teams we either won or were in the game, minus the New England game. We'll have a much-improved defense and if we can somehow get Brazzell incorporated into the offense and one of our TE step up we might have a nice offense. So, I say we should be in most of these games.  Predicting the outcome of these games so soon after the draft before we even have OTA is just guessing so I won't predict.

      Same here, and I've been one of the biggest anti Bryce people on here. Now, even then, I won't want us to make him a Top 5 paid QB, I'd like to see it still be a deal in that 10-15 range of highest paid QB's and/or have it just be a 2 or 3 year deal.  But if he puts up a season like that, he'll have earned the extension and right to be our QB moving forward. I don't think he'll have a season like that as I don't think he's good enough, but as I've said every year for the last 3 years and now the 4th straight year... Even though I don't think he's that good or can do that, I desperately want to be proven wrong, because Bryce turning into the player the team thought they were getting him after that trade, is still our fastest path to contention than needing to replace QB again.
