Sounds like we're all in for this year.

 

Fuggin love it!

 

The thing is he still has 3 years left on his rookie deal plus the 5th year option. Were going all in for this year AND the future.

Welcome aboard Mr. Henderson.  Welcome to the Doom Patrol.

Yeah, I hope it works out and he was a bad fit, but he didn’t play well as a rookie before Urban. We are definitely taking a chance. If he plays like his draft slot, it was a steal. 

I think peeps should pump the brakes. This was an upside trade, I get it. Jackson on 1s is suicide. But it’s very risky from a lot of angles. I don’t see this home run everyone is giddy about.

I think this is either a boom or bust trade tbh.  I suppose he could end up being just average but it seems likely he'll either flame out here too, or become a fixture of the D. He has all the physical tools to be great, but it sounds like he's dealing with significant mental health issues.  Hopefully he is getting the treatment he needs.

Sounds like there is zero evidence of mental health issues

Right I'm not ready to say it's a lock but neither was Darnold...we just realy aren't used to have a coach who can actually develop players and a real GM and Pro Personnel guy like Dan Morgan too.

From what we've seen so far from our staff it seems this has a better chance to succeed than not, but I can't say it's 100% lock.

No 2nd round pick. Now no 3rd round pick. How, exactly, are we fixing the OL next offseason?

I love this trade but I gotta admit this was my initial thought as well when I heard the terms of the trade.  Godalmighty its imperative that we get a franchise LT in the first this year and then pray some interior guys drop in this draft

Wow

1. Horn is probably out for the season, I don't want us to rush him though, do what's best for him. Injuries like that aren't injuries you play around with.

2. Donte Jackson isn't getting re-signed.

1. you are right

2. The only way jackson comes back is on a team friendly deal or Henderson just stinks

 

The Anderson extension isnt looking so hot right now

We can't afford to go bargain bin shopping for OL unless our two rookies really, really show out. Right now we need upgrades at 3 or 4 positions...

But CB is a need right now too.

Remember we need a franchise LT AND CENTER, that's unless you think we should extend Paradis?

Someone referenced tweets re:suicide and a coaches visit to his home.  

Hopefully just fan nonsense rumors.

But his lack of production stems from something.

I guess we're trading out of the first round. But trading out of 32 isn't that big a deal is it?

If he is an average corner, it's a good trade.

If he allows our defense to not fall apart because of losing Horn, it's a great trade.

If he lives up to his ability, it's a fantastic trade.

Horn allowed us to play differently...hope he can just come close to that.

That's true but they scouted him last year. They liked him. They brought him here for cheap.

Based on what I've seen of their picks performances so far? I'm willing to trust their assessment of Henderson and I expect he will develop into a good player pretty quickly as that seems to be what they do here.
