They can definitely sign all three. My point is that Beane and McDermott have done a great job of building a team with little to no long term cap commitments. Now they are going to have to sign some of their own homegrown guys to long term deals after year 4. How they handle that situation will tell us a lot about the regime. Its like phase three. Phase 1, get rid of old regime garbage, phase 2 build and draft well, phase 3 sign your own and add. Milano will be the cheapest of the three. He is awesome for us but a 6 ft 220 pound off ball linebacker is a very scheme specific player and he would only fit a handful of teams. So I think he eventually stays. I don’t think he is that expendable because when he’s been hurt, there is a clear drop off in the defense. But to your point, he would be more replaceable than the other two.

He reminds me of a young Jeremy Shockey. I think he is going to be a star as well. He’s young and raw.

I love Dion and I think he is going to be the first real test case for this regime. They spent some good draft capital on a very young, somewhat raw player with really good measurables. They’ve developed him and he has now become a really good left tackle. He’s turning 26 in April, so still very young and has room to grow. These guys talked about building through the draft and keeping their own. I’m interested to see where they value Dion, if they set a number or will they pay market value? I am interested to see if they are going to truly be the build and sign long term type of regime, or the let guys go and draft replacements regime like the Pats. What they do with Dion, White, and Milano will tell us a lot.

I like Pittman too. He’s got some interesting upside as well

I think he would add an element of size and as a very young and pretty raw guy, I think he has a ton of room to grow. I think we have a lot of dynamic weapons and I’d like to add some size like Kmet and Claypool.

I said it yesterday and I know its very tonfoil hat-ish. But I think the NFL makes sure Tua winds up in LA. 1 year on Allen’s deal. 2 on Brown’s. I don’t think it would be giving up on Brown it would just be trading for a guy who really excels at what your quarterback does well. I love Brown, but I wanted to get some opinions.

Nah they have been working out with Jordan Palmer before the draft and their girlfriends are besties. Other than that I don’t think there is anything else there. Darnold and those guys are really close too. I think its pretty cool.

I think they get Tua somehow. They do have a pretty good defense, but the issue for their offense is that they don’t have any deep speed to capitalize on Tyrod’s deep ball prowess. Keenan Allen excels in working the intermediate areas of the field, that 10-25 range. The Chargers badly need deep speed in their recieving corps. In a contract year, his stats may dwindle. So I throw this out there for fun, John Brown for Keenan Allen...who says no? Stats are pretty comparable. Salaries mostly wash out, but Allen is in the final year of his contract whereas Brown has two more years, including this one. Josh’s arm strength really comes into play in that 15 to 25 yard area of the field where Keenan really excels. So who says no?

Honestly, it depends on what they ordered from taco bell. It can tell you a lot about a man’s character

Would have been cool if we got Kyle here to be our backup. But I hope he pushes Haskins in DC for the starting job.

I know he’s a 4-3 guy, but I thought he was more of a zone coverage guy. But 4-3 is a great move. Jon Allen, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat, Kerrigan and potentially Chase Young? That defensive line is going to be good.

yeah i could not remember if he moved from tackle to guard or guard to tackle. The last good right tackle we had was probably Jason Peters before he moved to left tackle. What’s ironic here is that Darby was traded out of Buffalo because he was not a good fit for McDermott’s “Ron Rivera” style defense where Josh Norman was the prototype. So Ron Rivera gets the job in Washington, cuts Norman, signs Darby. ?‍♂️ I’m guessing maybe Rivera is going more man? I wonder if he will run a 3-4 like he did in Carolina in 2019.

Probably because it worked that one time when Mike Gandy moved to guard from LT and Jason Peters took over left tackle. I think Brad Butler made a similar move.

Kmet is becoming my favorite in round two

We somehow come away with both Notre Dame guys Cole Kmet and Chase Claypool, adding a ton of size to our passing offense.

No one cares about Josh Rosen. The big ticket possibility to LA is Tua. I think the league will make it so.

I think Jameis should go to the Chargers and compete with Tyrod. Tyrod could teach Jamies how to be more conservative and gunshy. That would not stop them from drafting a guy high like Love or Herbert. Something tells me that the league will want Tua there in LA and try to tap into the Hawaiian fan base. But boy they have a glaring hole at the left tackle spot. The Steelers idea is a really good one. I think Mike Tomlin could reel Winston in and he could take over for Big Ben. I do think that Cam could wind up in in NE with his knowledge of the EP passing system. I think the league will work to make sure Tua gets to LA, so I think the Dolphins wind up grabbing Love or Herbert, or trying to work that trade with the Bengals, but I do think the Bengals wind up with Burrow. La: Tua Pitt: Winston Cincy: Burrow NE: Cam Miami: Love

Its all the same stuff people were saying about Dion Dawkins and now everyone wants to re-sign him. Ford showed enough flashes, he needs a chance to develop just like Dion did. If he doesn’t show progression this year, then you move him to guard. But that’s why Nsehke and Williams are here. They are the fallback options imo.

So I was reading an article on the athletic that says that the Niners only gave Matt Breida the second round tender with the idea that they would be able to trade him later for a mid round pick. Would you do it for say a 4th or fifth? Behind a paywall by heres the link: https://theathletic.com/1698741/2020/03/25/49ers-mailbag-jerry-jeudy-or-ceedee-lamb-the-teams-most-enticing-trade-bait/

I like Cole Mcdonald from Hawaii in the late rounds as a guy who could eventually be a #2. I like his arm and athleticism, has a weird release, but I’m not sure if its a major problem, its just weird. And he's one of the guys out in California training with Josh Allen, so there would be a relationship there. I believe the Montez kid is as well.

Irvin seems more respectful and appreciative of his peers. Smith was talking trash about guys at the combine. Super annoying

The problem with Daboll’s empty formation is that two of the five guys In the formation are DiMarco and Lee Smith. They don’t use a true 5 WR formation, they use it as a way to create a mismatch. They go empty with 21 personnel.

I just think the circumstances this year may force teams into going for immediate value and impact over projected value.

In actually think the backs will go higher than usual in this draft. If said it a few times, but with this virus situation, it’s going to be very difficult to get production out of rookies who play positions that will need significant development time. It will be more of a crapshoot than ever before. So I think teams are going to go heavy on corners, defensive line, running backs...the plug and play positions. I think the high risk, low floor players may go later than usual.

Good work Gunner. How many of those guys do you think fit here? I mean I keep seeing people talk about Willikies and Tuzska and Anae and Baun their 31-32 inch arms and thinking there is no way they get drafted here. What are your thoughts on fit?
