He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan. 

So you just gonna skip him picking up Rico and making this defense so much better with the FA signings huh? GM is only responsible for drafting rookies huh? lol.

I need to see more cuz that first draft was pretty terrible. This one is looking much better though

Was it? Much like the 2025 Draft, I think we're too soon to judge:

  • Xavier Legette - 500 yards and 5 TDs so far
  • Jonathan Brooks - very unfortunate to re-tear his ACL
  • Trevin Wallace - started 8 games last year and 6 this year (and has the headset on D)
  • Ja'Tavion Sanders - 500 yards and a TD so far
  • Chau Smith-Wade - 2 INTs (and a TD), played in 14 games last year and 5 this (injured for the other 1)
  • Jaden Crumedy🤷‍♂️
  • Michael Barrett - traded for Mike Jackson

That class is showing signs of life.

Unless you're the Patriots and have players taking a paycut to play with Brady you kinda need to build through the Draft.

Too early to say one way or the other. He's shown some ability to find FA gems but his drafting needed some help. It appears Tillis and the PFF nerds helped him find some value in the 2025 draft. The 2024 draft class has some time to redeem themselves but it's looking weak so far.

let him cook

 

 

fixed OL, fixed DL

 

let him continue to cook

Im not sold still but he has looked better the past couple weeks.  He fixed the ol and DL by making them the highest paid in the NFL.  You can't do that with everywhere.   I want to see some position groups totally fixed over a few drafts.

We're currently paying the suck tax.

It’s not unreasonable to say Chuba would have also done well against what are probably going to end the year as the worst defenses in the league when all is said and done. Hell in Miami players are apparently skipping players meetings 

rico runs hard but picking up a backup rb in the nfl is not a difficult task. Nor is singing the top two offensive linemen

Also worth noting right now that Morgan has a QB on a rookie contract. Its going to get a lot harder at the end of the season when we have to either re-sign Bryce in the 40-50AAV range or look to FA/draft for a new QB.

Im still not a fan of how he's built this offensive line. Draft guards and centers, pay tackles. It's a rule for a reason. RBs can be found in FA. Put them behind a good offensive line and watch them eat. 

We played a Dallas team without their elite WR and they took us to the brink. This team is showing life and playing better and thats a good thing. Dan has also been here with Fittershits too and contributed in how much to putting us in the predicament we're in. This year's draft is showing lots of promise. Credit where it's due. But I'm nowhere near crowning him a top GM yet.

Top 3 QB play from a free agent apparently costs 14 million this season

Or we could pick up his fifth year option for $26,526,000.00 overthecap.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
