Needs? Draft or FA

O-line: 1 major player for Tackle (draft or FA) and a Center (if we don't resign Mayes).

WR: Low pick or good FA signing?

D-LIne: Def need a NT and a DE/OLB who can rush the QB. FA or Draft?

TE; I don't know what they want to think of what they do?

MLB: I think it's out 1st rd pick, but getting another in FA wouldn't hurt, thoughts?

DBs; We need another sticky QB to play more man when needed. Again a 1st or 2nd rd pick IMO. 

S: Everybody says we need a rangy centerfielder, draft or FA? Would you take one high in the draft?

I don't use players because there are no guarantees who's there, just asking what makes sense. We know they'll fill "all" the holes in FA and then draft, so which FA are the better ones and which are just 1 year fillers?

My thought: FA - Big DT, DE/OLB & MLB. 2 of 3 as those take a which to develop.

Draft: MLB or Tackle, DB in the 2nd, DE/OLB in the 3rd. I think they need a solid T if Icki doesn't return better than before and Moton is getting old. 

I also think thy need to resign BC on the O-line.

OT: Re-sign Nijman, draft an OT in the first 3 rounds and possibly in the 1st. 

TE: If we don't sign a vet like Cade Otton...Sadiq at 19 looks enticing.

LB: Attack in FA and grab one in the first 3 rounds unless we get lucky at Styles is at 19. 

Edge: Same a LB. They may trust getting Patrick Jones back to not go after someone in FA, but that's also not enough. 

CB, QB, WR - mid to late round picks

    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
