TBH, this is still a bottom 10 defense on paper. BUT, probably not a bottom 2 defense.

I don't think so. Maybe bottom 15, but hopefully not bottom 10. DB returning to the lineup is a major deal. Tuttle is now the back up NT instead of the starter. Wharton and Jones II are upgrades over Crumedy and Barno. Moehrig was top 10 amongst safeties for run defense.

Grab a FS plus another body or three in the draft and Evero can go back to running his disguised cover-4 looks.

I do think that we are going to possibly running thin at LB + DB tho... gonna need guys to stay healthy and the offense to take the next step.

The New Orleans Saints restructured the contracts of offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz and defensive linemen Carl Granderson and Khalen Saunders.

 

The Saints turned part of Saunders' base salary and roster bonus into a signing bonus and added a 2029 void year, lowering his cap number from $4.6 million to $2.5 million. Granderson's new cap number is $6.482 million (down from $11.73 million). Ruiz's new cap number is $5.8 million (down from $12.25 million). The moves opened up at least $13.5 million in space. -- Katherine Terrell, Saints reporter

Well, keep in mind our DL is basically two starting caliber players and a lot of rotational guys. Same with our LB's/EDGE guys. 

Make no mistake, ON PAPER, it's squarely a bottom 10 unit. We just need to make some quality additions in the draft and perhaps we can move towards being a mediocre unit.

No one should have any illusions of a sudden top 10 unit. You don't come from as bad a unit as we had(not statistically, I mean from a pure talent standpoint) and make it into a good unit in just one offseason. It's gonna take a LOT of work.

But, the vision they are projecting is clear. Get younger. So they are operating as if they are aware this is a long term process. I don't agree with everything they have done but I am happy they are finally self aware enough to realize this isn't going to turn around quickly and we aren't 1-2 players away. That was MURDEROUS during the Rhule Reign of Terror.

It ain't the Saints if they aren't kicking the can!

Darnold and Mayfield making $100m each and their stats since leaving are better than Young's career so far.

Seattle fans are really going to be crapping their pants after season 1 of Darnold. I don't know if that new HC was on board with that signing but he's probably headed out the door when Darnold does in a couple of years.

Sources: Giants reached agreement today with former Dolphins free-agent safety Jevon Holland. Deal done by Kyle McCarthy and David Mulugheta.

 

The Giants filled a major need on Tuesday morning and did so with a really good player. NFL Media is reporting they are signing Dolphins safety Jevon Holland to a 3-year, $45M deal with $30.3 million in guarantees. Really nice move for New York.

      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
