I mean… if somehow it went - Neal, Icky, Cross, Willis, Aiden for whatever reason, what would you guys wanna do?

Trade down for a HUGE haul....easily 1-2 first round picks and maybe more for those top EDGE rushers....setup next year for the big splash

If Hutch, Walker/Willis, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Draft Thibodeaux

If Hutch, Thibodeaux, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Sauce

This is assuming you can’t trade back. Honestly, I don’t think most teams would be willing to offer what’s needed to trade up to 6 with those guys off the board

As long as we get top 6 talent I'll be OK.

That's about the size of it.

You're not going to be a legit team in the NFL by drafting inferior players at a needed position to the detriment of superior players at a not-so-needed position. If players are close, perhaps you have decisions to make; if players aren't close, it would behoove you to draft the obviously more talented guy and work things out.

I sadly think this team is dead set on QB for better or worse. Willis and Pickett are a toss up as to who goes first but I think they go first half of the 1st round. In addition to that will the Saints trade up to #5 to jump us or #7 to jump the Falcons? Will the Falcons or another team jump us to get a QB? What if Detroit or Houston decide they want a QB? My fear is we have lowered our standard to fit a major need to the point we’ll panic draft a QB just because management views it as a vital need.
 

It’s like going to the bar to find a wife. One night you see a perfect 10 but she gets snapped up before you can get to her or you see a 6 and pass her up because she has pointy elbows. 2022 feels like we walked into a bar on a Tuesday at 1am, stumbling drunk, and are going to propose to a 38 year old ex stripper from Lexington with a rose tattoo on her cankle that rolls all 300 lbs off the now thankful barstool.

Honestly, last year we were all saying QB or OT. And they went with DB, a good guy, but on offkey pick.

So, this year, we're all saying OT or that they probably will instead choose a QB...

so...

so...

so...

It could be anything. And then there will be a flurry of trading by our team that nets us a lot of "hey, look at what we dids" in the preseason and a bunch of mehs on the field during the real season, only to find out we've mortgaged the future again.

Remember, these are the guys who happily went to the podium with a pick of a LONG SNAPPER in the 6th round last year. And then they put him "injured" reserve to stash him away from being poached I guess...

Between Rhule and Fit, I'm getting tired of their antics.

If we draft Sauce after Horn, paying Jackson, and trading for Henderson I will be frustrated.  Sauce is a cool nickname though...  QB/LT are the biggest needs, Edge Rushers are always valuable also.  I rank the needs 1. QB, 2. LT (because BC showed some potential), 3. Edge Rusher.

I don't know that I'd consider them a unified front at this point.

Fitterer seems to want to build for the long term. Matt Rhule can't necessarily afford to do that.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
