Give me 3 big things you would like to see this offseason. Whether it be a GM change, coaching, re-signing someone, cutting someone, draft pick, free agency. 

What are 3 realistic things you want to happen? Feel free to provide any explanation. 

1. re-sign Taylor Moton.

2. Draft Parson.

3. Sign Justin Simmons.

In arguable order of overall need/urgency:

  • QB upgrade/some kind of upgrade path set in motion
  • OL upgrades
  • Defense upgrades, specifically DT and CB followed by FS and LB

All 3 items are of critical importance but I list QB as #1 largely because it may be something that takes a year or two to come to fruition; starting sooner may be of the essence. OL and defensive upgrades improve the team regardless of who is playing QB, but QB upgrade can also mask other deficiencies and more upside is urgently needed compared to today.

If we get a top 5 pick in this draft, and take a goddamn MLB I am going to lose my poo.  Parsons might be great and all, but we likely will not see ourselves in a position at the top of a draft like this, with this amount of QB talent available again.  We must strike while the iron is hot and get our QB for the next 10 years this draft.  Everything else is ancillary.

We do not need a MLB in the first round of the draft, if they want to draft one in the later rounds fine. If its not a QB or LT, we may as well trade down.

I guess the guys wanting damn parsons in the 1st will just throw him out there at QB if we ever need to convert a game clinching 4th down

1. Send Hurney to Washington 

2. Re-sign Moton

3. If Sewell is somehow available or another tackle that is worthy of a high pick, take him. I'm not sold on Wilson yet. If none of the boxes are checked at QB or T, trade down and pick up a couple extra picks and get us a center and guard. 

If Sewell is available when we pick, that is the ONLY scenario I would be comfortable taking a non-QB in the first.  Assuming we could then re-sign Moton, we would have the cornerstones of a dominant offensive line.  Then perhaps we could trade back up into the bottom of the first round and still pick one of the QBs still on the board.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
