We need ATL to fall in love with Willis and a team who loves him more to jump them to 6. Denver, WSH, Minnesota or even Cleveland...need one of y'all to love Willis. 

Whether it's Cross, Penning, or Linderbaum, one seems likely to be left over in 10-14 range that would make us happy. Hell, even Pickett for us after a trade down if that's where the staff goes.

Well, better than Sewell IMO.  I never saw the attraction honestly.  Never stood out to me on tape.

I know it's only going into year 2, but he's trending bust IMO.

Nevermind, looks like he put it together around midseason last year.

I don't want to see Ekwonu go right before us. Shades of Sewell in 2021.

And herbert in 2020.....you know if not for those meaningless late season wins, both very likely would have been panthers....tiresome, so tiresome....

I agree with this prediction *right now, panthers need to work out a deal with good buddy jets to get ahead of the giants whom pick right after panthers too. But Im in full Neal mode, then Ekwonu(won me over after weeks of ??), then trade down. Those are it.

I don't want to trade up. We don't have the luxury of spending those resources. If we can get a top 3 OT at 6, just do that. If not, explore trade down options. After all, we should be able to get a starting OL in the first round.

If a starting quality tackle is still available, don't trade down so far you miss on that.

But that is the plan. Gotta get more picks to churn the bottom of the roster. That or take Pickett at 6 since he went to Tepper's alma mater.

Yeah, hence why we suck so badly. Worry about churning the bottom of the roster when it doesn't basically look the same as the top of the roster.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
