The biggest mistake JR can make is leaving $$ on the table.

In his interview today he said the next step is extending current players. He didn't say anything about going after more free agents.

We could end up in a situation where we have cap room left and we didn't sign any big names.

Overspending on a bunch of contracts is not good if you don't fill all the holes.

We need a CB, a QB a RG. I hope we don't sign a bunch of no-names and leave $8M in cap.

Especially after we were one of the cheapest teams in the league last year with the worst record.

No matter how good Cam and Rivera and Olindo Mare are you can't make a 2-14 team into a playoff contender without some more pieces.

Just my opinion.

Dude we can't leave $$$ on the table.... By the end of the year we must have salary at 99% of the cap!!!!!

After we get Beason and Kalil set, and the Smitty situation figured out, Im sure we will make more moves.

You didn't expect him to reveal our entire Free Agency agenda to all of ESPN Radio listeners did you? He seems to be fairly confident in the moves Hurney and Rivera are making.

We are signing a corner. There's just no way Ronnie Rivs is going into camp with Cap'n starting(bless his little soul, I love him). But it ain't happening kids.

Sign one of the top tier CBs and a decent QB and I will be pretty happy with everything.

We have $$ to do it.

These big name corners don't always pan out.

Anyone remember Ken Lucas, Big $$$ for average play.

Dunta Robinson from last season? Not a difference maker.

This... when reach and over spend for a position of need it does not always play out well....

Just because we Need a position, doesn't mean there is a good fit there at the right $$$ at the time.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • 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
