DT free agents to think about...

I'm not saying any are likely or are good choices but they are probably going to be available to us. these are the ones that stuck out to me that weren't haynesworth or tank johnson.

Jovan Haye.....probably shouldn't have let him go. he's an RFA but still an option. I don't like RFAs but in their restructuring they might opt to cut him loose. of course he is somewhat familiar with the panthers and the defense so he could help us. he is small, though, Ht: 6-2 Wt: 295. Not the big guy that i would like to have alongside kemo but if they want to keep with having an athletic faster DT to hit the gap, he could be decent depth. crap, he'd be a good starter.

Rocky Bernard...another good but smaller 3 tech type player. both he and haye might cost a good bit of money but i think we can afford them with big ears going. i don't know what the seahawks are planning to do here.

Grady Jackson is another one who may be available. He is getting long in the tooth, i suppose, but he was sure disruptive. The dude looked like a walrus flopping around out there but it didn't stop him from blocking passes. For a fat boy he sure can move.

Kedric Gholston who is on the redskins who is a good guy and may be a good option but he has been hurt a good bit. Ht: 6-4 Wt: 320 good size. might be decent beside Kemo from time to time. i don't remember watching him much but I know he had a really good rookie year.

Mike Wright from the Pats...played backup behind Vince Wilfork so he got a good bit of PT. He has done pretty well. I think at Ht: 6-4 Wt: 295 he would be another good option beside Kemo as well. Lots of experience as a NT in a 3-4 so that would be nice at opening up the DEs. He looks like Mongo from Blazing Saddles, though.

Gabe Watson is another intriguing option. Plays for the Cards. Ht: 6-4 Wt: 340 4th round pick in 2006. another big NT. He was hurt a bit last year but still is a good run stuffing option. not sure what the cards plans are for him or if the superbowl makes him too expensive.

i personally like tank johnson. yea he got in trouble but it seems like since his suspension he hasnt got into anymore unless there was something i havent heard about he has good size and hes still pretty young we could prob get him cheap too.

I heard the guy was excited and smiling from ear to ear while walking off the field after the butt whooping the eagles put on them at the end of the season, to knock them out of the playoffs. I dont want a guy that quits on his team and cares more about free agency

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
