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.

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

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?

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

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
