To dovetail off of J.I's thread. Even after the F.A period is over and the draft, cuts are coming in droves. D.G loves to pick through the aftermath and find 'gems' at a excellent price. The best deals that will help this team are coming in a few months. Free agency is highly overrated.It puts many teams in a money hole that is hard to justify in most cases.

Sorry for the heading typos..Android thumb

Mods please correct if so inclined.

 People go through "buyer envy" when their neighbors get new cars.  They don't realize the neighbors are going through "buyers' remorse" because they overspent, have 5-years of payments ahead, etc. 

 

  • We are much better on special teams right now.
  • We have upgraded on offense at LT, a position that is hard to fill (and Oher is phase 1 of a process).
  • We are going to use the draft to find a cheap, shiny #2 WR instead of an overpriced, used one.

 

Even if we do nothing more, this team is the best in the South, one of the best in the NFC.  Spending spree?  not needed.

Doubt D.G would make that mistake again. His hand was forced last year due to lack of funds. He had to let guys walk and had little choice. He will be much more selective this time. He already signed the core guys that where free agents. He did a good job this time around.

I just don't understand why we wouldn't go after one of the many proven WRs out there to complement Benjamin. I understand not going after one of the elite guys, but guys like Bowe and Johnson are proven and won't be that expensive.

Is there a team in the NFL that is spending as little as we are at WR?

What WR names are you thinking of?

Good Job?? lmao!!! Like signing a track star who has hardly played ANY football in his life? Or maybe a guy who has a movie about him? Great so he has a fugging movie about him. So What!! Should have been called " The Blind in one eye and can't see out the Oher Side"

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
