I was pretty high on this guy come draft season because he had freakish size and athletic ability. Could play safety or corner. That said giving up on a second rounder after a year is disheartening. This could be Curtis Samuels fate if he can’t stay healthy but I would take a flyer here just because of untapped potential. You probably could get the guy for next to nothing... what say you?

I said it in the Iloka thread. Hurney likes Gaulden. I doubt any S will be brought in. 

I mean at worst he could be a backup.. Even if he loves Gaulden,when your trotting Adams and Sercy out there it wouldn’t hurt to give there spot to some younger legs.

If any $ is gonna be spent I would have to think it would be on OL help

I dout we have any money to bring in a tackle, that position warrants more money than we have. Maybe some flyers on some cut guys, but you can’t tie up anymore big money that isn’t already in Matt’s pocket.

We don't need a starter at tackle at this point simply depth assuming Williams is coming back this year and both Moton and Sirles do well for the time being. We have plenty of money for depth as year 1 contracts can be relatively cheap.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one.

      Draft Taylen Green

      Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position.

      Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
