Here is what we know:  Morgan was not looking to sign a bunch of JAGs.  He was going for a top Safety and a top Defensive Lineman.  Signing a top CB (Horn), a top S, and he whiffed on a DT (calling DE a DT to avoid confusion). 

S: I think Moehrig will be the qb of the secondary and since S is deep in this draft, the other S may come on day 2 of the draft. 

CB: I think they will slow play the second CB, hoping maybe to get Jackson back on the cheap.

I wish maybe we had focused on a bit more affordable option than Williams. I think maybe we really put all our eggs in that basket.

I like how even by addressing the secondary Morgan also improved the run defense. Moehrig was one of the better run defenders at the safety position last season, so even if we lost out on Williams there was still an effect.

With the Patrick Jones II signing, the depth gets a little better in the EDGE room while still allowing a draft pick. There's also some good DTs still out there to kick the tires on.

I'm hoping we double dip at safety... Get Evero a free safety so that we can let Jaycee cancel out opposing WR1s again.

7 sacks last year.  "up to" is a key phrase in this contract.  I'd like to see the details.

He is strong vs the run, and at 265, probably will take Wonnum's spot (if they cut Wonnum) basically, he could rotate with Wonnum (another former Viking).  26 years of age--they are pretty much the same player, but Jones has more sacks, Wonnum has more hurries.

Patrick jones is good vs the run too.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
