Darin Gantt with some good info in his new article.

- team has had discussions with PK Eddy Pineiro 

- potential interest in DE Henry Anderson coming back 

Fug that. Give me Zane Gonzales back. Don't trust Eddy in clutch moments for sh*t.

I'm not a big fan of re-signing Foreman.  Not totally against it because I get it, but I don't think he's anything special and I would rather have a more explosive lead back.  Not to mention he's not much of a threat in the passing game.  

Will be interesting to see the numbers.

Eh, Purdy didn't take over until about 3/4 of the way through the season after Jimmy G. did all the heavy lifting.  He would get an asterisk from me. Wilson has been such a tool lately, I totally blocked him out, lol!   Wilson, Big Ben and Purdy*.  Looooong list indeed. 😀

Add Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, and RG3. Before you asterisk jackson for only starting half the season, they won 6 out of the 7 games he started vs Flacco who was 4-5.

And while they didn’t win their division, mac jones, luck, Andy Dalton, mark Sanchez, joe Flacco, and Matt Ryan all made the playoffs in year 1.

A veteran TE is a rookie QBs best friend.  It would be malpractice to draft a QB and give him our current QB room and/or a rookie TE.  I agree, we need to draft a TE, but that doesn't mean we stay away from the position in FA.  Stating the obvious, FA comes before the draft and we can't risk not being in the right spot to draft a TE and miss out entirely.  We don't need to blow a ton of money, a middling guy would suffice.

And TE is a free agent signing that does not break the bank.

I like it, another Jericho Cotchery type.  The price has to be right though.  He's solid, but not worth breaking the bank to acquire.

I read somewhere that he is looking for coin--knows the FA market is crap, I suppose.

Name rookie QBs that have won their division.  I'll wait.  That's a lot of research for such a small list....if you can call it a list.  Let's not go back to the before the 90's, just the past 30-ish years to save you some time.

I realize he was not the starter until he was the starter, but this is the reason Mr. Irrelevant was so impressive this year.  He actually won his first playoff game.  In the playoffs historically, rookie QBs are .355 win percentage, and no rookie has ever taken a team to a Super Bowl.

(I should read ahead before posting)

Good digging!  We won't likely get a Wildcard, though.  In order to make the playoffs we'd have to win the division outright.  The East will earn one, if not two, the West one and potentially one out of the North.  It would be tough.

Brissett makes the most sense to me.  He's worked with Reich before and has shown in the past he understands his role on the team, which is perfect to pair with a rookie QB.  Not to mention if the rookie isn't ready to start right away, Brissett is a capable starter.  Not great but serviceable.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
