 Myles is not my 1st option(Mo Bamba, Nic Claxton, Mark Williams and others) but he is solid when he plays. I just wish we went a lil younger but I'd take a shot of trying to get Tj Warren and sending out Gordon somehow. Tj Warren if finally  healthy, could be a steal for 10 mil per year average. 406388089_Screenshot_20220620-093713_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.4ad66f0cd04c158040ec569ea9f29450.jpg

TBH, if we can't get Duren at 13, I hope that's all it takes to get Myles.  13th plus salary for Myles...  after that, I really don't care.  Although Williams' size is intriguing, he is much of the same dinosaur that we've had issues with forever now, and those guys tend to get exposed when running into the better run orgs in the league (i.e., the ones we aspire to be if we ever want to win)...  so, no thanks.

Williams type players are still valuable in this league and he would be an answer to a lot of our defensive deficiencies but I do agree that Duren or a trade for Turner would be better. But if we cannot and we have to settle fir Williams then that will be fine. We don’t have an issue scoring. We are one of the higher scoring teams in the league. We have to get some bodies capable of defending.

Would much rather try and package 13 and 15 to move up a few spot to ensure we get Duren than take on a year rental for Myles Turner coming off a foot injury. Don’t want to give up assets for an injury prone big man.

Yeah Myles Turner isn't the answer unless we get him for very little. The last thing this franchise needs is another guy who can't stay off the bench. Make a run at Ayton or just look to the draft.

Yeah it’s an unlikely possibility but I would be on board with taking both Duren and Williams if the opportunity presented itself if I’m being honest

Hard pass for me.

yes he plays a big position of need for us

yes he is a solid to really good player.

 

but he has 1 year left on his deal and as injury prone as Gordon 

 

low key, I want to trade up for Sharpe.  If not take Williams and bpa

      Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
