premature, but probably on track.

i do think that the TE3 isn't one that is on the roster yet. we've got tremble and arnold and we'll likely find one that hits FA once other teams start making cuts.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that he got 50 of 53 right.  

I like how he didn't list a fullback and Tremble will most likely fill that role when needed.

I totally agree about Little, Grier and Thomas.   Last of the Hurney hopefuls to be cut.

Obviously you can't predict who's gonna get injured and stuff.

FYI: In the article referenced in the other thread, Person says he thinks Ian Thomas has a good shot at making it.

I expect a lot of people will disagree.

Well we don't exactly have a lot of competition for him.

Well we are likely to keep two of them, so I don't think he needs to exactly perform at a super high level. 

I would imagine we will be churning at TE next offseason, as well.

Possible.

One of the things I like about this year's draft though is that I feel like even if guys don't wind up being starters, they may not necessarily be complete busts.

Take Brady Christensen for example. Even if he's not our left tackle of the future, he could still be a great guard.

I'll take that over a Greg Little who's likely a complete washout.

Thomas had a good shot at contributing last season. Instead he likes to give up on his routes, or run the wrong ones. He can go, find a TE3 that actually wants to play in the NFL.

I think it's very possible he will go.

Person is more optimistic on that front than I am.

Well there isn't that much of a risk of busts in this class primarily because we didn't use our higher round draft picks. Once you trade down past the 3rd round,  I kind of think that "bust" word doesn't so much apply. I would imagine at least a quarter of our picks will likely not be on our roster in 3 seasons, because the odds of hitting on that many lower round picks are astronomical. 

I hope Christensen works out. He is a guy that probably has to end up being at least an average level starter on our team for a few years or he will get that bust tag. Definitely would not have been a guy I would have drafted personally but the coaches have a vision for what they are looking for, so I hope he fits that and is successful for us. 

I am curious to see if we keep this "quantity over quality" mentality about drafting or that was just their thoughts on this draft class. I can see the appeal of the logic behind it, so I will be curious to see if it works out in the long term.

He's probably accurate about TE Ian Thomas.   Not only did Thomas not thrill anyone with his offensive production last season, the team could save over 2M by cutting him.   So I think he's likely gone.  

Ian Thomas could be the #3, but I think he'll go based on the info provided above. Colin Thompson (a Temple Guy) will be a lot cheaper (any other options at TE#3 would be too)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
