Alright, let’s see: We go after either Chandler Jones or Bobby Wagner- 2 year deal. Not sure we can get both based on cost and other needs, but one of them comes here. If we get Wagner, we need to get some value for Edmonds- likely a 2nd or 3rd with his contract being on its last year. I’m going to assume a 3rd for the purpose of this draft below. We target a low-to-mid tier WR in FA (ex. Kirk) for a 3 year deal if he can be afforded. Slot receiver to replace Beas. We also target a lower end Qb possibly if the price is right (Mariota, McCoy, Fitz, etc) We try to re-sign Harry or Wallace. Still not sure if we can afford both, but one of them has to come back to fill a position of immediate need. Extend Diggs and back-load the contract / bonus most of this year to free up cap. Extend Morse to a 3 year deal and lower his current cap hit. We already got $5m back from letting Klein go. I think all other FA’s walk. We cut or possibly trade Beasley, likely to the giants if anywhere. We shop Daryl Williams to a needy team so we can get him off our books at that price for a RT currently playing RG. For the sake of this argument let’s say these picks are for next year I guess. Draft goes something like this depending on the above (assuming no trades, but I’d be happy to send a 6 & 7 to get back into the early 6th for the right player: 1. OL or DL : look for either a G or C to replace Williams or Morse eventually, or a replacement for Star after next year. 2. CB : Absolutely need someone to come in after Levi leaves or to help the absence of Tre should we be fortunate to get Levi back. 3. OL or DL : whichever we didn’t address in round 1. *****3 if we trade Edmunds : WR to groom behind Diggs/Davis/Kirk 4. WR or TE : Deep WR draft will have talent. Maybe find a TE if there is value here and if my extra 3rd for Edmunds is correct. 5. P or S : Build for the future here and either get Araiza if he’s somehow still here or get a future replacement for either Poyer or Hyde when that day eventually comes. 6. P or WR/OL: if Araiza was gone in 5th, you get one of the others possibly worth drafting here. If P is set go look for a flyer on either WR or OL. 6. LB or QB: Flyer on a LB to fill in behind Dodson backing up MLB. QB to replace Fromm. 7. CB: idk, draft someone with a funny name maybe? if we do this, I think next year we absolutely target a MLB in round 1 to groom under Wagner.

I’m just looking at his on the field stuff here, but man was Cole a damn sure thing on 3rd down so many times. I’m not sure what led to this but I hope he gets what he needs and we get someone with hands like his. I respect what he brought on the field and what he did to help Josh become who he is. Best of luck Beas. Thank you for being part of something special

I probably should have clarified- I was thinking in that scenario if we traded back up and it cost us some of the lower round picks. I wouldn’t mind if we did that if we think he’s the guy. I’d rather pass on fliers in the 6th like Wildgoose and Hamlin and use those picks (plus maybe a swap of 5ths) to move back up late in the 4th and get a day 1 starter

My proposal, IF it needed to change, goes like this: OT would result in each team getting at least one possession to score points. The team that gets the ball first may punt, score a field goal, or a touchdown. The second team must beat the previous teams points: 1. if the first team punted, the second team can kick a field goal to win. 2. If the first team kicked a field goal, the second team must score a touchdown to win. 3. If the first team scored a touchdown, the second team must also score a touchdown AND a 2 point conversion to win. The only way to end the game without each team getting a possession is if the first team gives up a safety on their possession, or if they go downfield, score a touchdown AND a 2 point conversion themselves. If they convert the 2 points they win, if they fail they only score 6 and the second team can then simply score a touchdown and XP to win. High risk/reward. if each team has a possession in which they both punt, the next team to score any points is the winner. I’m not sure how good this works but in my head it seems to be fair

Normally I would agree, but for an immediate impact player I would absolutely do it. Day 1 starter. I’d rather have him than a potential PS player waiting to make a start 3/4 of the way into the season

So, we obviously have a few needs to address like lost teams in the draft. With where we are picking, it’ll likely be the 3rd or 4th best player in their respective position in Round 1. We have a few players on Defense who were early picks and have been rotational in our system, which I am fine with as they get acclimated to the NFL. That being said, Punter is a definite need for this team. Haack certainly had some ugly punts this year, and while I don’t think we will or should address punter in round 1, it does beg the question on where we could potentially select him. This isn’t just some kid with a decent leg- he’s the holder of multiple NCAA record and has an average of over 50 yards per punt. He’s a legitimate generational talent at his position, and could significantly help the special teams in pinning back our opponents. If we were to go for him, what round do you feel comfortable taking him, and so you think he will last that long? I’d be totally fine in round 4 if he lasts that long, or moving a few late rounders to get back into the end of round 3

“Not everybody gets to the Super Bowl and wins.” don’t worry boss- it’s gonna happen for you real soon.

If he’s willing to come for cents on the dollar maybe, but the cost to availability ratio is just not in line. He’s going to put up numbers, sure…. But he’s also going to be out a few weeks minimum for injuries. No thanks. The best ability is availability. Put that money someplace else.

Look, Nessie has an eye for talent and it costs about $3.50 so we should maybe hear her out

I would think they’d be going for Donald or Rodgers after the SB / MVP allure

Prince

God dang, we are lucky. Best QB in the league and the best Brittany in the league too. sorry Mahomes 🤷‍♂️

I don’t make this trade. That being said: If I am being forced to make this trade, I am doing it for a veteran / known quantity. Why would I roll the dice on an unknown draft prospect when I can use the assets to get an elite level talent (not factoring cap in here, of course). Groot had a pretty good rookie year all things considered, and he likely will do better this coming year. I truly think if you are giving up those kind of assets, you only do it if you need a QB. Even those picks/players may not be enough

Scorched Earth Season starts in September. Doesn’t end until Josh lifts the Lombardi.

Allen defies all foregone conclusions about everything. 17 works. Josh is and shall remain the exception to the rules.

Excellent. Consistency and familiarity are going to help the offense get better. Congrats Dorsey!

What is he supposed to say? ”yeah, glad to be here and all, but MAN DOES OUR QB SUUUUUUUUUCK! On an unrelated note, I look forward to meeting my players and building a winning culture here *cough cough* except Danny Dimes *cough cough*” He’s going to bat for his guy, take a year to take a look at what he can do in a new system, try to get him some protection, and go from there. He sinks? he gets replaced next year. He swims? He continues playing until Arch Manning declares and the Giants tank for a year.

What one are the Bengals in?

Did they?

Let’s see if they win before we decide how good an idea it is. Props to them for getting there, I’ll give them that. Eventually the check is going to come and they’re gonna have to pay it

I believe Allen went down an absolute hero last week. Every time his back was against the wall and the game looked out of reach he would answer the call. Shot for shot - he never gave up. Mahomes is obviously an amazing QB, but the narrative after tonight won’t be so kind. He couldn’t get the job done and was a key piece in the downfall of the team tonight. one thing I will say… QB can be debated, but fanbase can’t. I know This place gets pretty doom and gloom after a loss, but ChiefsPlanet is an absolute meltdown rn. Burrow plays with a swagger, and he’s damn good too. Kid went from winning a National Championship in college (where he was an absolute stud) to getting injured midway through last year, comes back from a torn ACL and is now heading to the SB. Can’t take that away from him that’s for sure. All that being said, I’d never take anyone in the league over Allen. He is gonna pick up where he left off, settle some unfinished business, and go scorched earth next season.

XL? Seems a bit exaggerated. Is that like dressing for the job you want and not the one you have?

Oh look, another reason to look forward to punching them in the mouth next year. Go for it bud, see you on the 50 yard line when you’re done dancing.

I have been thinking about this for a few days now, seeing as how the OT rules are already better than they used to be. If you asked me to come up with a new system tomorrow here is what I would propose: OT would result in each team getting at least one possession to score points. The team that gets the ball first may punt, score a field goal, or a touchdown. The second team must beat the previous teams points: 1. if the first team punted, the second team can kick a field goal to win. 2. If the first team kicked a field goal, the second team must score a touchdown to win. 3. If the first team scored a touchdown, the second team must also score a touchdown AND a 2 point conversion to win. The only way to end the game without each team getting a possession is if the first team gives up a safety on their possession, or if they go downfield, score a touchdown AND a 2 point conversion themselves. If they convert the 2 points they win, if they fail they only score 6 and the second team can then simply score a touchdown to win. High risk/reward. if each team has a possession in which they both punt, the next team to score any points is the winner. I’m not sure how good this works but in my head it seems to be fair.
