Morgan has said we will not trade up,  will make a pick at 33 or trade down.  Gotta build all around.

Yeah? Well your name makes it difficult to trust you when talking about Morgan, unless that is who you really are! 😀 I know he said that, but how can you say that before free agency ends?  Do you trust everything GMs say during this time of year?  I tend to trust Morgan, but when the dust settles, he could see trading up as the best option.  I hope he does not-and I have a feeling Braswell will be our guy-I also have a feeling that Chop Robinson may fall into the second round.

I see your point, but in an effort to build a complete roster I would do my best to stack prospects.  Honestly, if Chop and Darius Robinson were available at 33/39 I'd grab them both and push WR to the 3rd/4th rounds. 

Could you imagine the damage a front 3 of DB, AR, and Darius Robinson would cause?  Having that 1 player who is a stand out would be great.  Turner is the only one that is that guy, in my opinion, in the 1st round. 

Honestly, I'm liking Chris Braswell more and more as well.  When the scouting report reads "He plays with his pants on fire..." and the biggest knock is they don't think he has enough "ankle flexation" I'd take a gamble on that guy.

The top 3 sack leaders from the 2023 draft were all drafted outside of the first round. All were mid to late 3rd rounders.  Just saying, with good scouting (lately pretty rare on Mint St) we have options.

Yeah, I just wanted to get some open minded discussion going.  Too often we make an assumption early and never consider all options.  How many drafts have you walked away from thinking, "Well I never saw that coming"  Good stuff here.

I always thought his name was in reference to the rum

You aren't trading two high second round picks to move up in the first.  That would be the equivalent of the 15th pick according to Jimmy Johnson.  Who in the middle of the first outside of Brock Bowers would help us, right now, more than two high second round picks.  At this point we need more players than pedigree.

If Bowers or one of the top three receivers are there at 15, I'd have to strongly consider trading those two seconds. Bowers is a freaking beast.

If you were Dan Morgan, that is what he would WANT you to believe!  I am pretty sure I blew his cover and his mind!!!

No, you are probably right.  I was just joking at my expense.

I think a great WR or TE is worth more than two pretty good WRs or TEs.  There is only one ball.

I think Denver has us beat.

Nah I watch Nat'l tv shows daily, and there is no other team in the league who gets laughed at more than us. They were discussing Mike Williams this morning on ESPN and they basically laughed at us for even being mentioned. They made the entire conversation about how he would fit with the Jets.

 

We have become the worst team in the NFL. Mainly because of Tepper. I have come to embrace the suckery! It's kind of humbling honestly. Never thought we would be that franchise, yet here we are...

i'm happy with Braswell, but if Chop dropped to 28, I'd think about moving up with our 4th.  But who knows where he is on our board?

I'm not as sold on Morgan as some of you, although I like what he's done so far.  Ain't nothing I can do but watch and keep my fingers crossed.

I did a mock, but I do not get the Chop love--looking at his numbers.   I need to look more into it.  I see him as a dropper, based on what I know right now.  Braswell is a "DAWG" and I bet Morgan likes him.

Here is the mock I did just to see what it would look like:

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
