We got J. Gross to restructure and a solid backup at Linebacker.

We are under one month before the draft. I think it is time we step back, take a deep breath and see who we will draft.

Then spend our money on available free agents. Maybe even wait till 1 June for any non- 1 June listed free agents.

Too many of you are like children with money. Gotta spend it cause you got it. Let's sit back and get our draft done and then decide what we need. How sicking would it be if Cooper fell to 14 and we took a mid-level talent instead of a beast like Cooper. Basically wasting money on a player we NOW DON'T NEED.

Find out what we have. Then dive back into the Free Agent market to top us off with remaining needs we didn't fill.

If Warmack or Cooper were available would u take him? What would you do with the OG you just signed? Other than cut him. If you are going to get mid-level OG you probably are going to pay him more than you will for a Rookie under the rookie payscale.

If we wait I am certain we would have a smiliar if not the same pool of players to choose from. Not only that, the free player will know for certain whether they can compete for a position and more likely to join the team.

is anyone panicking?

and the idea of drafting a guard in the first is not something i am loving. if we "passed" over cooper just like the 13 picks before us and the few others who would after us, i wouldn't be upset at all.

I'd rather us pick up an RG in FA and draft a more premium position than an "elite" guard.

My point wasn't necessarily a guard. I am just saying the free agent pool isn't going to change too much between now and after the draft.

Do the draft, see how we come out and then make our final moves. Who knows we might even save a couple dollars.

gotcha, but i still think they at least pick up a guard and another player or two before the draft. anywhere there's a hole or real weakness, i think they are going to try and address before they head into the draft.

I follow you but the Free Agents are going to be battling for a spot on the roster. After the draft we have not only our picks but maybe a couple of hidden gems from our UDFA.

I understand filling the holes but those holes will be clearer after the draft and the Free Agents are most likely going to be there.

Is there a player you would like to see. Someone seasoned that would come here without breaking the bank?

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
