Reading tea leaves: 

The draft is pretty solid at DT (3-4 DE).  I don't think Wharton, and Brown change the fact that we could draft one.

Pat Jones does not eliminate a need at Edge. I think we will draft a pure pass rusher. 

We are still razor thin at CB.  Getting Jackson back was huge for us, however.  I am not sure how much they like Evans and Bartholomew, but both (especially Evans) played pretty well down the stretch.  Good enough depth?  Conspiracy theory:  Draft Will Johnson and play Jackson at nickel. 

It seems to me that we now have 2 Strong Safeties.  We need a free safety or two.

I heard nothing about TE or WR today.  Does that mean we will draft those positions?  I really like about 4 Tight Ends in this draft, maybe 5.  WR?  I think the draft is more of a gamble, but I am wondering about TMac right now.

The focus in free agency on defense makes sense.  Evero has types and in free agency, you can match a skill set to your needs with more precision than the draft.  The focus was on stopping the run, and with the exception of Wharton, every defensive player excels in that area. Pass rush is still a concern, imo.

Maybe we still go after Jevon Hollander

Gotta say, I really like what they have done. After the Milton debacle I had lost hope, but everything since then has been solid. One thing I’m iffy on is the Vikings DE, I don’t know too much about him so I have no clue if the contract is good there. Not taking away from him getting a bag, I just mean for cap purposes.

I am relieved the Milton deal fell through--about like I was when Cleveland stole Watson from us.

So with cap space, Jaycee’s deal created 9m in space, Tuttle restructure created 3m in space. 
 

need to see the first year of each deal to see where they stand. Team had around 29-30m in space for today’s deals. 

We are keeping Tuttle?

Yes, after looking at what he signed for, he’s not better than Brown and him getting more would be wild. 

Yeah Brown is a better fit to meet our biggest need.  Wharton can come in and rush the passer--7 sacks?  Pretty solid.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
