I’m supposed to come here and say he sucks now right? I wanted him the other day, but he signed elsewhere so now he’s terrible. ???

Yep. I have a hard time understanding what the Jets are doing actually. I think McGovern is a good add and I always liked Alex Lewis. They still need two tackles. Fant is not the answer. They must either be working on something big like Clowney or a Trent Williams trade because their offseason has been strangely conservative.

Seahawks game on too, if anyone wants to take a look at Jefferson.

Get a chance to watch AJ Klein on defense as well.

The problem with him and the construction of the roster is that he isn’t going to play very much. He just wouldn’t get enough snaps here to justify the contract he might get. A rookie or Foster or even a Rashard Higgins are better suited to that role. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have him, but there are teams out there who can offer him a bigger role in the offense.

I have to be honest, but I put myself through the torture off rewatching the Houston game on NFL Network yesterday, and I know someone else pointed it out somewhere on this site, but Murphy was one of the best players on field. If that’s the fully healthy Murphy we are getting this season, then he will be worth the price tag. So unless they wind up with a Clowney type or trade for a guy like that, Murphy stays. And if we had Stefon Diggs, we win that game handily.

I’m not sure a person on a “futures” deal really warrants any kind of jersey choice.

He signed a 1 year deal last year so he is a free agent. Doesn’t mean he can’t sign back, but it seems like he isn’t in the plans. So don’t be too hard on yourself. He wasn’t released....his contract is up.

Former Panther rumored to be a target of ours. Brian Winters may shake loose. Winters is worth a look.

which automatically made him “gritty” and “old school.” I can hear Solomon Wilcots in my head right now. ?

At least when we become Panthers North we are signing good players. Vegas is gathering Bills garbage. Whose next Jordan Mills? ?

His arms are almost as long as Andre Dillard.

Josh needs to find his deep ball. He needs to find the balance between “game manager no turnover guy” and “gunslinger guy.” But if he hits a few deep balls last season, we score a lot more points. To me he has done pretty much everything else right. If he had a guy who could make a contested catch like Diggs, we beat Houston. If they didn’t waste half the season giving meaningful reps to a meaningless Zay Jones, it would have made a difference. If Josh finds the balance, we could be true contenders and can really score some points. In terms of the braintrust, if Josh were to fail, and I truly doubt he will, I would give them the opportunity to draft another quarterback. If that guy failed as well, then you would have to consider a change.

The one thing that helps us is that Desir is a specific scheme fit, for your predominantly zone teams, so you can pretty much cut the number of suitors in half

I suppose thats why there is a mute button

Long lean zone corner from a super small school? Yep makes sense! Carolina did scout him in 2014 so there is some familiarity there.

And with the exact comp pick formulas and process being very secretive, the Pats will get a really high pick for the GOAT Tom Brady, unfortunately.

I think the Patriots and Packers are winning the comp pick formula race so far. We aren’t getting one and I am good with that. Without the possibility of visits with draft picks, the draft this year will be more of a crapshoot than ever. So it seems like Beane went the proven commodity route with this year’s free agency.

So here’s the thing, there is close to zero chance any of those guys will be better than Dawkins over the next few years. You are taking your home grown guy, who was raw coming out, who has developed into an average left tackle with room to grow and replacing him with people who will be a work in progress during our window of contention? Just doesn’t make sense. Like Jackson, he’s raw, very athletic, good length, but is going to need a lot of time and may wind up at guard. I like Isaiah Wilson a lot, but he is a right tackle prospect and I think he is going to be very good. But he is a RT only guy, and like Cody Ford has issues in pass pro he needs to work on. Prince is extremely raw, being a late comer to the sport. His body is long and lean and has to add muscle. He also has extremely short arms so its a long-shot that he stays at LT in the pros. And is probably too small to kick inside. Jones is a nice prospect, but again he is raw and isn’t likely to be ready to start right away. He also has shorter than ideal arms. Cleveland again is another athletic guy, with short arms, who needs to add strength to his frame to hold up against NFL rushers. Even guys like Wirfs and Thomas are likely right tackles in the NFL. My point is none of these people will be instant upgrades at either position and they all have holes in their game that need to get developed. Dawkins has developed. Just a year ago Ford was a raw line prospect who had some struggles. A year under his belt helps him develop. We really want to hit the reset button and start that process over? Cody flashed at times and You do not move him to guard unless you know for sure that he can’t play tackle. Dion may never be an elite LT, but the dude is at the very least above average, and at 25 years old still has room to grow. There are a couple of elite left tackles in the NFL, and then there is everybody else.

Same reason Gal Gadot is singing “imagine” to you. Famous people are insane.

He’s an interesting guy but not quite the change of pace I think we need. I think you would still need more of a complimentary back to Singletary. But Thompson could certainly find a place on this team if he were replacing Yeldon.

Patriots took my fullback upgrade. ?

Point taken. I’m pretty sure Kroft is that guy for them. They signed him to be their starter last year, over a guy like Ebron who was available at the time. Then Kroft got hurt. He was okay when he came back, but aside from Austin Hooper, Kroft is still probably better than any other guys available in free agency. I think Olsen could have been that guy, but obviously he chose another team. I do really like Cole Kmet and he’s on my short list in the second round, though I don’t think he makes it there.

Can this merge with poll one? And can we take Gordon out of the poll? Good discussion in there

Ben is on the beer, cheese, and ribs regiment . I am also on that diet regiment.
