So true. That Ramsey trade kills them. No first rounders for a while. The Gurley deal is what it is. They had to pay him, but kind of backed themselves into a corner. I wonder if people with still see McVay as a genius, or is he just the next McDaniels?

To me the only reason the Gurley idea makes sense is that the Rams have paid most of the guarantee already and he needs to be a part time player. Whomever we bring in needs to share carries with Singletary. Maybe Gurley could be electric again if used selectively. I think the Rams hold onto him past 4 pm and take whatever they can get.

I think that makes sense as well. I like the middle part of this draft and it would be interesting to see them come away with most of their picks in that 2-5 range. He definitely will move about the board.

I like Josh more than all of them, but I liked both Joshes his draft year. Hated Mayfield and was iffy on Darnold. But if I was drafting a guy this year I’d take Herbert. I think he has the best career of the first round guys this year.

Rams don’t have a first round pick until 2022. So it might be tough to make it an Osweiler type or trade.

Also remember that Eric Washington is a HUGE upgrade coach wise. The guy is going to make a huge difference for these guys. Hopefully, he can turn Oliver into the next big thing in the 3 tech world. He’s gotten production out of Addison in both 4-3 and 3-4 defenses and has been with Butler from day 1 of his development. To me, Washington might be the biggest addition to out D line.

Interestingly, there are a couple of fullback upgrades available who could come cheaper. Roosevelt Nix just got cut so the Steelers can get the Watt brothers together and pay the fullback Watt 3 million a year. Nix is better than Watt and DiMarco at this point in his career. Another guy I’ve had my eye on since the draft is Danny Vitale. Finally got a chance to play in Green-bay and was very good. I think he has some Kyle Juszcyk lite type of upside. Highly athletic and can carry the football. i have love for DiMarco and the leadership he brings to the team. But he seems done to me and these guys are upgrades. Nix has nice special teams upside while Vitale has upside as a receiver. So a modest upgrade opportunity. I think we need to add a receiver like Higgins from the Browns as well.

Immediately, Dion Dawkins comes to mind. Whipping boy who can’t play tackle and needs to move to guard because those six plays he was a guard as a rookie. Dion has developed, as many players, especially young offensive linemen, naturally do. Dion has climbed out of the whipping boy situation and now everyone wants to extend him. Cody Ford has now taken over the mantle of tackles who need to play guard passed on through the generations from Cordy to Dion and now to Cody. It is possible to recover from whipping boy status.

I could see a re-structure type extension. But yes, finally healthy, he was very good in the second half of the season. As others have said, I think he stays unless we make a really big ticket addition. I think he is a solid, yet somewhat overpaid piece.

Agreed! He was the guy taking a helmet to helmet hit without a helmet against the Chargers.

I recall McDermott being all over Thompson in 2017. I think he was a target in the 4th if they didn't trade up for Zay and Dion.

Yeah I think Cleveland and Miami make sense for Kline

Forget about stats and PFF and stuff...I used him in Madden and he is really good. ?

I still have love for Tyrod, but I do think this is the Winston destination at the end of the day.

Ngakoue, Jefferson, and Diggs were all teammates at Maryland ?

Somebody brought it up before, but with a 55 man roster, a guy like this makes sense more than ever.

Special teams. He was really good for us there a couple years ago. Replaces Senorise Perry I suppose.

I really like what they have done defensively. That said, their offensive line is terrible, and adding Karras and Flowers I’m not sure helps that much. So they need is 2 offensive tackles and a quarterback and they will be better.

I think they should have went with Cam Newton, but Foles has that Nagy connection. So I think it is a good move.

I think us and Chiefs and Ravens are the teams to beat. I think Tannehill comes back to earth and Henry gets hurt. Always happens when a back gets paid. I think the Raiders are a bit of a sleeper. I really like the Mariota fit there and their defense is improved.

I think Beane 100% trades up in round two. So he could be in the discussion, but like we have talked about the last couple of years, I don’t think 7 guys make this roster. We should try to come out of the draft with 4 guys between rounds 2-5 imo.

I think Lawrence could pull and Eli but yeah thats definitely true.

Atlanta is an interesting one I had not thought of. Good call.

I don’t think so. There are some top ten blue chip guys like Quentin Nelson, Ronnie Stanley, off the bus plug and play for 12 years at an elite level guys. The rest is all a crapshoot no matter what round you are talking.

Patriots. Though, they might be too good to get that #1 overall. They are lining up to get a million comp picks again Next year and they could in theory trade some guys for picks like Edelman etc. They would have ammunition to move up. I think this is Belichick’s grand master plan.
