I read some more about James. I didn’t realize he rolled over his $10M guaranteed salary with his opt out in 2020. So not only did he not make any money last year, he may have forfeited that $10M guarantee. He’s also got a $5M guarantee in 2022 now but only for injury so that’s likely gone too. Damn, shouldn’t have opted out.

Yeah, that sucks.

Unique situation and all, but damn.

No one will cry for him with $17M paid out for 3 games in 2 years, but losing out on $15M guaranteed because he opted out is tough. The $5M guaranteed money for 2022 was originally guaranteed as of 3/21 of this year.

No idea what the Broncos will do but it wouldn’t shock me if they cut him and save $15M. Since he was a surprise opt out, he may not get much sympathy especially since he’s been a huge bust for them so far.

I remember him being a guy a lot of us wanted the year he was drafted.

I know quite a Few people don’t believe he will be on the roster this year.

 

I’ve been the biggest critic since he even came out.  I hated the pick,  didn’t even think he was worth a 2nd rd pick.

but I’m not writing him of just yet.

IF he can get healthy, it may be interesting.  One of his biggest knocks even at Ole Miss was he just was flat out lazy.  The dude has all the talent,  but has always just had the keys handed to him. He was the top kid coming out of Hs and immediately was just handed the starting spot.  He was still a high draft pick and came to a team with literally no LT, and yet again pretty much just handed the keys.

he has never had to fight for anything.

now this dude is on the verge of being cut.  This is going to show who he really is.  He comes out looking terrible and gets cut.  He may not get another shot in this league.

let’s see how he does with the fire under his azz before we automatically assume he’s as good as gone.

In training camp, he was getting straight up run over by Burns. Beat straight up. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Hopefully Christiansen doesn't suffer the same fate, or Cam Erving, who will be the starter.

I feel pretty comfortable saying that Christensen will get run over by Brian Burns, several times.

We're talking about a rookie facing an establish, dominant NFL player. Of course that's going to happen.

You know who else that happened to some years back though?

A kid named Jordan Gross when he was facing a fellow named Julius Peppers.

Gross turned out okay.

Other than going to a Utah based college, I am confused why people keep comparing Christensen to Gross. Jordan had an outstanding college career, became a top 10 pick and was the consensus top OL in the 2003 draft.

Christensen has some decent potential but we shouldn't be confusing him for arguably the best offensive lineman to ever play for this franchise.

If he is half of what Gross was, that was still a good pick.

To be clear, I wasn't necessarily comparing Christensen to Gross.

Just mentioning that even as great as Jordan was, Julius Peppers ate his lunch when he was just starting.

That'll happen with Christensen and Burns too, but it shouldn't cause anyone concern.

The best part of the draft this past weekend for me is that fact that Hurndog got totally exposed for being a shitty GM. 

 

I remember a few folks on here still defending him until the bitter end.

Was anyone actually happy when he got brought back? I don’t remember being happy, but just being relieved Gettleman was gone.

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
