I think the depth at DT caused teams to pass on the top-tier talents and go for other needs assuming they can pick a DT later with some value. This helped us get a top 20 talent way after the fact. We didn't reach for need. We took the best player on the board. The fact we picked a player that we had very little need for makes me feel confident he will be good

I think you're dead wrong.  With this pick, Gettleman made us dominant right now, and set us up for success for about another 8 years.  With the money opened up by Josh and Stew off the books soon, we can sign KK, Norwell, and Turner.  We've used the 5th year option on Star, so that keeps him cheaper longer.  

"Big men give you a chance to compete."  I don't think people understand that deeply enough.  You always need DL/OL first.  Through the good and bad of position groups changing . . . if you're stout up front, you're going to compete.  It happened here with Josh.  In Nippleshorts I trust.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
