Yep, as others have alluded to, as long as GMs keep giving out more and more money (in all 5 major sports), the more and more players are going to ask for. Hell, we're already paying college kids for the use of their image and may even treat them as employees soon. It's just going to get more and more insane. You need to put a lid on it eventually. We WILL have a billion dollar salary in our lifetime.

The dude had some duds with us last year (Bucs game), but he also had some really great games. If you show up great on tape.. franchises see opportunity. I mean look at what CJ did with our last coaching staff... now put a competent staff in place for him and we could be eating our words.

I totally understand the humor around this thread, but at the same time... it can be just as quickly seen as a short sighted view.

His development crew has been the elite Urban Meyer, the OOU god himself Matt Rhule, and then the interim Steve Wilks. That's not exactly a who's who. I'm not saying he'll get any better or not, but that is a serious shortfall in NFL coaching right there.

For me, the penalty issues early in the season…didn’t worry me because that’s coachable. He would have stellar coverage and just panic and tackle the dude. 
 

…what bummed me out was giving up on plays against Tampa, in a must win game. 
 

Not sure how coachable that is. 
 

I just haven’t been able to stick my neck out defending him after that. Elite athlete or not.

I've seen Henderson with great coverage and I've seen him get torched.

I was hoping he would pan out, but he isn't consistent enough to be a #2CB and I don't want to pay #2CB money for him.

I almost like him better as a safety, but I am not sure how quickly he could pick up the nuances to be a good one.

CJ hasn't given me much hope in the short time he's been with us, but let's remember his welcome to the NFL has been Urban Meyer and Matt Rhule....he's got a year to earn another contract, with us or someone else.

What I saw on the field was all on him regardless of who his coach was. Seemingly giving up on plays when he got beat.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
